Howdy, Belly......good morning Sir.

G'morning!!

no rest over here. The guy I replaced sucked at the job, so I'm spending this morning fixing his mistakes over the last year.

OBC, how you be?

Belly, need to let the boss know that by taking up your free time, he is messing up our youtube video addiction.

But only if he has a good sense of humor.

Aww, poor scooby, I mean mcjunior!

And frankly, I enjoyed Gravity, thought it was a good movie. Didn't look for contradictions to physics though, I'd be interested to hear what you saw HB and then I'll watch it again sometime.

I broke 2 decapping pins on two different dies with 1 piece of brass.

Lee's Universal Decapping Die is falsly advertised as being able to "Even remove crimped in primers". BS. And it was Lake City 5.56 brass so I know it was reloadable (wasn't trying to reload some steel).

He does not have a sense of humor.

i have found the MOARB...

All good, Lobo

Gonna be spaghetti this week, my sauce concoction is pretty solid on the yummy scale. When I get that going, I might give that sand blaster a whirl and see how it does on the flatbed.

Boss's without a sense of humor are a bummer.

Morning BC

Have a good morning bro's...I'm gonna get moving on stuff.

Morning OBC

I don't know which of the preview clips I saw, but it was about a month or so before Gravity came out. The two things I saw were:

1. Astronaut 1 lets go of Astronaut 2's tether and starts drifting away... orbits don't work like that.

2. In a free fall environment, Bullock's hair wouldn't lay down nicely, it would appear to float around her head. This is why female astronauts almost always have their hair tied up tightly.


And I just watched the following trailer on youtube and noticed another thing...



The ISS and Hubble telescope would never be close to each other. Hubble orbits at an altitude of about 560km and the ISS is usually between 340km and 410km. Inclination (tilt of the orbit) is also quite different between the two: Hubble is 28.5 (direct insertion launch from Cape Canaveral, FL) and the ISS is inclined at 51.6 degrees. The ISS and Hubble combined contain enough fuel to match each other's orbits by ~.001%.

And I don't know what that other structure is that also collides with the ISS, but it shouldn't be there either. Upon reading some of the comments, it seems that this might be the (future planned) Chinese Space Station? It looks like the CSS will be at an inclination of ~40 degrees, and the altitude will closely match the ISS. If they launch on schedule and assuming inclination and altitude don't change, depending on other orbital elements, they could orbit for decades without ever coming within 100km of each other.
