Rocket Science Discussion Thread

Postby Greater Soviet Ukraine » Sun Aug 17, 2014 4:31 pm

I don't know this has been done before, forgive me if it has. But, if it hasn't this is here for you to chat on rocket science. Go NASA!
EDIT: Here is something to talk about: Engines that use no fuel

I don't believe this is the website for this... everyone here is strongly political, and I'm sure that many of us do not have an understanding of this science.

I am not a NASA fan. I find outer space semi-boring if it does not involve UFOs.

I find stars to be incredibly interesting, from white dwarfs to red giants, and blue giants.

Just because outer space bores you, it does not mean that it is something that shouldn't be researched and explored.

Or just make it a general discussion of science dealing with anything outside of earth.

Ready for the end-all be-all?

Without NASA, you would have no microwave, your refrigerator would be ice-powered, solar power would be near-nonexistant, your computer would be considerably larger, your phone would still be attached via landline, and the Internet, television, cell signals, and human presence would be either nonexistant or firmly stuck to this tiny blue marble.

Which, by the way, is constantly being bombarded by space rocks and solar flares.


Think of it this way- We are stuck on a tiny blue dot flying around a smaller than average star in a backwater arm of a nondescript spiral galaxy, one of the most ordinary types.

On the other hand, we are at the dawn of a new golden age. We can control the very world around us, we are developing faster than light travel, and there are estimates we are less than two decades from finding both a second Earth and extraterrestrial life.

And there are still people alive who remember their grandparents believing that humans could not survive travelling faster than 65mph, there were men and oceans on the moon and Mars, and that airplanes were the stuff of science fiction.

Well, there's no need for the thread, is there? The next time you create a thread, think about these questions:

- Did I present a reasonable summary of my topic or did I just post one or two sentences and a link?
- Is there enough information in the OP to get a good discussion going?
