    The writer says thank you, and "You ain't seen nothin' yet".

    But recent events have delayed the next "episode". So please be patient.
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Quite understandable really. We've held off all updates to the Comedygamer site as a mark of respect... its just doesn't feel right putting up comedy new at a time like this. It feels just wrong.

    Tell the writer not to worry about my lack of visiting, but I don't feel capable of reading it right now. I don't want to ruin it. I'll get back to it soon, hopefully the weekend.

    Yet another teasing read!

    It must be weird I think in the B5 universe, to work lets say on B5 as a pilot, have nice gravity etc, then go to you Omega or Warlock, again with gravity.... and then get shoved on to a Hyperion class... must be such a pain to have to get used to low gravity again.

    I reckon it would be quite cool. A new experience for people used to living in a world where even spaceships have gravity of one kind or another.

    Well actually, as an SF pilot, he'll likely be used to Zero G a lot more than you give him credit for...

    [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Aside from the physics of motion in space in that Star Fury, he's operating in Zero G while at work.

    Yes, but in a Starfury he would be strapped in. You can hardly go floating down the corridor in a Starfury. On a Hyperion he has no gravity all the time.

    It would kind of defeat the purpose alright to just float around inside the cockpit of a Starfury.... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

    Translife Mission Coriolis Force Feasibility Experiment Successful

    Babylon 5 for Mice

    An experiment conducted at Pioneer Astronautics for the Mars Society
    has demonstrated that the Coriolis forces that mice will be exposed
    to during the Translife Mission will not be excessive.

    Coriolis forces are a secondary byproduct of rotating artificial
    gravity systems. It has long been argued by advocates of zero-gravity
    space travel that such forces would prove disorienting to astronauts,
    especially at rotation rates above 4 revolutions per minute.

    The Mars Society's Translife Mission will place a group of mice in
    low Earth orbit for about 50 days in a rotating spacecraft that will
    supply them with artificial gravity at Mars levels, 38% that of the
    Earth. During this time, the mice will be allowed to reproduce and
    the young will grow up in Martian gravity. Subsequently, the capsule
    will be recovered and the mice and their descendants studied. The
    mission will thus serve as a key experiment to determine whether
    artificial gravity at Mars levels can be used as a countermeasure
    against the well-known debilitating effects of zero-gravity
    spaceflight, and to determine whether mammals from Earth can develop
    satisfactorily if conceived, born, and raised in Mars gravity. This
    question is central to the issue of whether humans can ever settle
    Mars, or any other planet with gravity substantially less than that
    of the Earth.

    In order to keep the size of the Translife spacecraft small, however,
    the rotation rate must be high. In particular, for the 1 m diameter
    capsule currently under consideration, the rotation rate must be
    about 25 rpm. This has caused some to raise concerns that the
    Coriolis forces would be so excessive as to disorient the mice and
    ruin the experiment.

    In order to resolve these concerns, an experiment was constructed
    consisting of a mouse habitat positioned on the edge of a turntable
    rotating at 25 rpm. This system thus creates 0.38 g in the outward
    direction, which combines with a 1 g downward acceleration imposes a
    total g-load of 1.07 g's on the mice. While this is different from
    the 0.38 g they would experience in this system on orbit, the
    Coriolis force is the same.

    The system was started on Wednesday, August 30, 2001. Behavior of the
    mice immediately after start up was observed to be completely normal,
    that is to say, indistinguishable from their behavior before the cage
    was rotated. The experiment has continued since that time operating
    24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The mice have been observed to forage,
    groom, drink, eat and sleep. As of Sept 18, their behavior is still
    normal and their health is fine.

    Commenting on the experiment, Mars Society president Dr. Robert
    Zubrin said; "These results clearly show that the concerns raised by
    zero-gravity spaceflight advocates over Coriolis forces have been
    greatly overdrawn. They show that small low-cost long-duration
    artificial gravity experiments with mammals are completely feasible.
    Given the consistent record of failure to find adequate counter
    measures to debilitation of bone and muscle systems during zero
    gravity, these results underscore the need for expanded research in
    artificial gravity spaceflight systems. Humanity is not going to the
    stars in zero gravity. We need to find alternatives. The Translife
    Mission will show the way."

    A movie showing the mice living happily in their 25 rpm home can be

    How old is that? Because I came up with the same mouse test for the feasability of simulated gravity for a report in May. If I found out my teacher is leaking ideas to the mars sociaty...

    Heee!

    That again was a great read. An exciting battle.. and it looks like that Thunderbolt has alot more to it than a simple rogue ship...

    I think he means that his browser is loading the last cached copy which is not up to date. Try force-reloading the page.
    Either that or he means he's already read the update.
