there is ZERO pressure in space, a space craft would buckle and crush very quickly in deep water, they aren't designed to withstand crushing pressure like that. we have now sent unmanned vehicles into the deepest parts of the ocean, and they didn't find atlantis, or a secret dolphin society...they found a few fish, a few rocks, and a lot of mud.
i HATE joe rogan, but this is a clip of neil degrasse tyson on the dumbass's show...watch it, please.

That is incorrect. Propulsion is what uses the energy. It’s why I suggested doing the calculation - it shows you the magnitude of the fail in the movie.

I mentioned airships because they have an out. They’re neutrally buoyant, so the energy they gain from dropping an equal weight of air (into the gravity gradient) balances the energy they spend on altitude. Their only real concern is air drag, which is why artificial airships are slow.

But if you're an animal and need energy wouldn't you eat so you can have propulsion?

Predicting the future, we are living in the way it actually turned out! Walter jumped with the airborne in WW2 Europe as a reporter, chronicled the moon landing and lived to see the internet and digital TV, dying in 2009 in his 90's.

This film, made in the late 1960's, tells what future homes will look like in the 21st century or 2001 to be exact. Very funny! Narrated by Walter Cronkite.

i wonder how disappointed the makers of that little documentary would be if they knew houses would look pretty much the same, with less shag carpet and less avocado green appliances?

They were only looking ahead 30 years! The computer and subsequent digital, internet and cellphone age evolved in that time span and blind-sided most people even those in the industry, Bill Gates thought nobody would need more than a megabyte of RAM! I remember my first 286 with a meg of ram and a 40-megabyte hard drive and DOS! Years before I had a Vic-20 and programed in peeks and pokes!

i didn't even hear about this...and good job catching it. hope the fact that they caught one this small 4 hours out means a larger one would be spottable much further out, so the new impacter they just tested out would have time to make an alteration in it's path.

Most of the surprises are hiding out inside earth's solar orbit and we are blinded by the sun and can't easily spot them. Having an outfit on the moon for planetary defense along with other functions like scientific and engineering research might be a useful idea. It is much easier to launch an interceptor that can make a big difference earlier from there than from the earth with 1/6 gravity and no atmosphere. If you have a base there anyway and a fuel station, it might be worth it. A solid rocket booster could launch a Helluva payload off the moon and then the smaller liquid fueled one would take over after the heavy lifting was done.

they're flying cow pies...they're bits of scrooge's undigested potato...they're scientifically non existent. when someone gets one good picture, one good video, when a whole plane full of people see it and take selfies with it...then and only then will i come even close to admitting that cryptoanimals live in the sky...the plainly visible, incredibly researched, very well traveled sky...there are no trees for sky big foot to hide behind, no loch rocks for sky nessie to take cover behind, just a few clouds that are transparent to good radar...maybe there are living clouds, because those are the only things larger than birds in the sky that have ever been recorded in anything but a blurry shit video.
i'm not trying to ridicule you, but i do ridicule the whole idea of large animals living in the upper atmosphere, so sorry if a little splashes your way.
there are a lot of animals we haven't discovered yet, but the thing is, most of those animals we haven't discovered yet is because they're nearly identical with species we are aware of, and pass for them, most of the time. most "new" species are just sub sets of pre-existing species that have adapted to a different environment.... .00001 genetic difference....they haven't found anything like a whole new undiscovered species in decades, if not centuries...and i'm pretty sure it's because there aren't any to be discovered anymore.
i've always considered this to be akin to trump derangement syndrome, but in reverse...an irrational unwillingness to accept scientific fact and an embrace of "feelings"...i'll take cold hard facts 10 days out of 9

I'm open to documented occurrences that happen outside the realm of science as we know it..and like an equation, I wish to prove or disprove. Funny how no one ever thought astronomy could be wrong if not for a faulty gear box and all of a sudden Planet X disappears:lol:

I'm not going to attack the Capitol if proven wrong:wink:

PS How about the vid Navy Pilots got? They saw it with their own eyes as well..talked about to each other- a factual record...if Tyson wished to double check instruments are still calibrated..have at it. The Navy decided to make a fake to get us all talking about for recruitment is one idea..it is a fact the Navy recruits.

I didn't know horses ate potato..apples, yes.

is there one institution doing business in America that doesn't use predatory, misleading practices to make record profits for a bunch of people whose only skill is knowing how to game the system that was originally set up to stop people just like them from doing things just like they do?

Elizabeth Warren is seething about this right about now..I've been wondering about Corporate Housing they've been scooping up. "just tell us about your house and we'll give you a 7 day commitment on cash offer' (no one going through your house etc and it's cash no qualifying) sounds like one huge money laundering scheme to me probably of the foreign persuasion.

MCM Mid Century Modern is all the rage..have it myself with this new round of furniture.

this is very close to what we had in the "company" living room (we had a family room in the basement, didn't use the "company" living room unless we had company...)

Outdoor-Patio-Furniture-Makeover.-By-The-Wood-Grain-Cottage-4419.jpg
but ours was a little nicer as i recall, a little more stuffed, had a different coffee table, with end tables, and one of the chairs was a recliner...
i know it came from Ethan Allen, i had to sit in the damn showroom while my mom took hours picking the shit out...

I'm familiar with the style, a friend had a living room set back in the day, it's a bitch to move, heavy and awkward.
