Serious debate - The space program

[Arthur Dent]

an assortment of bungee cords

But they would stretch when you pulled. I was thinking more like seat belt material. You could definitly get some funny angles. I bet it'd be like one of those swings, but better.

Picture a belt around both peoples waists and maybe from right thigh of guy to left thigh of gal and from left thigh of guy to right thigh of gal. Insert first, then tighten all the cords down so it's hard to pull out and the cords add force to the thrust in. Then, just bounce around the room off the padded walls. Or add more cords between the couple and the walls so they can't reach the walls. :bouncer:

Hmmm...wonder if it could work IN gravity.

Sir O
the space program failed you,
Venus is not a ball of gas.
Just has a very dense atmosphere

See what I get for posting before noon. I am teh stupid, but at least I learned something...

[i]I have looked through several astronomy texts, and there are some
guesses about the internal composition of Venus. We will have to wait for a
lander mission (almost certain to be unmanned, given the hostile Venusian
environment) designed to probe the interior before we know for sure. First,
the overall density is 5.24 grams per cubic centimeter, compared with Earth's
5.52 grams per cubic centimeter. (We can measure the physical dimensions of
the planet, and by noting its gravitational influence on an orbiting satellite
like the Pioneer Venus Orbiter, we can calculate Venus' mass. Then Density =
Mass/Volume.) This tells us that the internal composition and structure of
the two planets may well be similar, and current theories of planet formation
would support this. Venus has almost no magnetic field, which suggests that
it may not have a liquid iron core, as the Earth does (although this may also
be simply because Venus rotates so much more slowly than the Earth). The USSR
landed several probes on the surface since the 1970's which measured (among
other things) rock and soil composition. These probes found granite-like
materials and basaltic rock. The latter is almost certainly due to lava flows
(which may still be going on). In sum, current best guess is that the
composition of Venus is similar to that of Earth, though probably not
identical to it. I got the above information from: "Exploration of the
Universe" by Abell, Morrison, and Wolff; "The Solar System" by Encrenaz and
Bibring; and "The Solar System" by B.W. Jones (you may need to go to a
university library to find books like these).

I think we should spend money on the space program but they should be more accountable for their actions. I want progress and status reports and goals they are trying to reach. I want to know exactly where my money is being spent.

Ken's brain is a planet?

witty repartee really not your thing, huh OAS.

Ah ha, see I had them staying in one place. With loops on the ends of the straps for feet or hands, and maybe hooks or buckels to shorten or lenghten the straps, so the people could be farther or closer together, or upside down. Both would be goo though. I wonder if the astronauts have tried it, or are they too "professional" for that?

Too professional to try sex? What are they, priests? Oh wait, that was another thread. Nevermind.

[Hey Ladi]

You know, ... "Don't dip your pen in the company ink."

Employees make strange bedfellows.

Solution - Hire all women and stop taking fellas to bed faggit. {}
