Science anyone?

Question everyone...

I posted this photo yesterday in the 'ISS Spacestation thread'. It was taken by Scott Kelly when he was aboard ISS in February. What did he take a photo of down below? 😀

Levi Stadium in San Francisco. SuperBowl 50

Levi Stadium in San Francisco. SuperBowl 50

Yes! Levi Stadium!

"....On the evening of Feb. 7, 2016, Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly snapped this photo of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. from the International Space Station, writing, « Got to see the #SuperBowl in person after all! But at 17,500MPH, it didn’t last long. #YearInSpace »...."

More fun, anyone? 🙂

2. Inside an airplane, flying at a crusing altitude:

A. the pressure is the same as that outside

STX's VLBA antenna...

The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) is a system of ten radio-telescope antennas, each with a dish 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter and weighing 240 tons. From Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the VLBA spans more than 5,000 miles, providing astronomers with the sharpest vision of any telescope on Earth or in space. VLBA has an ability to see fine detail equivalent to being able to stand in New York and read a newspaper in Los Angeles. Image Credit: NRAO.

The Very Large Array: New Mexico:

"....One of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter....." *-)

G'day everyone,

Welcome to Mt. Everest. In light of the dangers and disasters clearly reported throughout the years regarding the hundreds of victims, whose lives have been claimed by this mountain, five more fatalities have occurred so far this past week.

Asked why do you want to climb Everest? "Because it's there."

This is going to make me crazy.

Think outside the box...:-)

I am still firmly in the box. Trying to escape so I can think outside of it. I think Doug and JJ will need to help me with this one.
