.... Sheesh! It is very simple.. It also models reality better than any stupid ass 4D or more system ever could. No, actually, it doesn't. Now if we want to talk about the relative motion of two spacecraft zooming through space, we have to pick one or the other. There is no standard nonmoving coordinate system. Your argument does not work "at all". Yes, it does; you just have to understand the...

The US space agency Nasa is due to mothball the Shuttle programme in 2010 but the replacement spacecraft is not due to be ready until 2015, leaving a five year gap where the US is dependent on ... not been resolved yet so that we can have the ability to buy flights for US astronauts on Russian spacecraft." Congressional supporters of the space programme now say that the Georgian confrontation has compounded that problem. Democratic senator ...

... from environment for generating power? Not without a "cold sink". Heat is essentially "lost work", some of which can be regained when it flows from hot to cold. Consider the RTGs used by the Pioneer spacecraft. It used plutonium- containing ceramic as the hot source, the 3 K background temperature as a cold sink, and a thermopile to convert much of that waste heat into electrical power. And of course Nature does exactly what ...
