3 Things you would take into space

    Say you were given the chance to go on Virgin Galactic or similar but one that would go up a bit higher and where you could at least open the window and take a walk around outside.

    For me it would be:
    1) Large rock, to be pushed down at exactly the right moment. Most likely I'd send it in the direction of Pamela Ivezbekhai's house so that thread will finally die.

    2) One of those watches thats supposed to work in space usually seen advertised in glossy magazines but nobody ever tests them in space. If its off by more than a minute when I come back I'll be wanting a refund

    3) A small satellite, not sure what it would do besides endlessly circle between the two poles. Maybe I'll install Folding@Home on it, but it wouldn't be @home and so I'd convince them to rename the project.

    2. Condom, no freaky space babies thanks
    3. A mental patient who thinks he is superman and has always wanted to fly.

    On the note of the space watch, i think it is never going to work, you need an amazingly complex clock which can calculate for every bit of acceleration speed and deceleration to accurately keep time with a body moving separately to you. Easy enough to implicant into the shuttle/ship which will have that data but a wrist watch is another thing.

    I wonder if NASA has done experiments to see if it's possible to have sex in Zero-G. I imagine it would be rather difficult and messy.

    They tried it and it didn't work at all I thinks. Something to do with the blood flow to the ould todger being too low

    Astro-glide?

    NASA has completly avoided the question since its inception, they have very strict rules.

    The russians on the other hand are much more lenient and I believe that an american couple - astronauts of course - had sex in one of the Russian modules. Obviously NASA has ignored any questions on it.

    Bull****, low gravity makes getting an erection easier due to lower stress on the cardiovascular system. This has been confirmed by actual NASA astronauts in interviews.

    Disappointed, literate, educated, and then you can't even think of a 3rd item.

    Now I am disappointed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,567 ✭✭✭Squeeonline


    I can't remember if there was a 3rd important item one could take (5 pints, thumb for signalling vogons?)

    Well Madonna and Hilary can have each other, but what about Louis? Could you not sneak a teenage boy onboard when nobody's looking?

    Drake equation says there has to be another planet where (un)intelligent beings decided to build a centra, out of the grazillions of possible planets out there.

    Its Science. FACT!

    2) Amazon Kindle (earth edition of the Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy)

    Mine has "DON'T PANIC" in large bold letters as the screen saver.

    I'd bring:

    A sheet of paper to make an paper plane from, which would then be thrown towards Earth

    A camera (a bit obvious but an essential one really)

    A hash brownie
