That doesn't necessarity have to be a problem. Have you ever rode Mission: SPACE at Epcot? To simulate the G-forces, the cars on the ride spin rapidly. You get going pretty fast, but you can't tell that you're just going 'round in circles. It feels like you're moving forward at high speeds.
I know some people have problems on that ride, but I didn't. Maybe just us who don't have much of a problem with motion sickness can go.

This is where HAL fits into the picture."There may come a time in which a significant risk of death has to be weighed against mission success," Wolpe said. "The idea that we will always choose a person's well-being over mission success, it sounds good, but it doesn't really turn out to be necessarily the way decisions always will be made."

Hmm, that reminds me of the time I ruined the paint job on my friend's Volkswagon door on the way home from a wine fest in Germany. Mmmm, Riesling wine. Even throwing up wasn't as bad as you'd think.Nanohedron wrote: Gastric ejecta in a spiral form is pretty cool, though.
If you're ever in a boat with me and there are swells, throw me overboard or suffer the consequences of my company.

http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/newspage.htm Officially, the government uses the term “flap,” describing it as “a condition, a situation or a state of being, of a group of persons, characterized by an advanced degree of confusion that has not quite reached panic proportions.”

Oh thanks... now's there's an image I didn't need just before lunch.avanutria wrote:That gives a new interpretation to your avatar, Tony..
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

With refrence to the original article that started this thread: truly fascinating, but the prohibitive costs involved in testing the expierament coupled with it's reliance upon currently non-existant technology would make funding any expieraments into it, well, difficult.
"Yes... yes. This is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... This Land."
the black hole is a different thread, innit?
