Quote from: ummfredfelizco on 5 Nov 2013, 05:37:05I have also watched the space suspense movie Gravity in the past week. Also good. I still wonder if tears stick on your face when you cry in space, or if they would float dramatically toward the camera. I did confirm that when it's almost sunrise in the Sinai Peninsula, it's right about 8 pm in Illinois.I generally cringe when movies come out that have NASA in them. Only movie I've ever seen that was relatively accurate was Apollo 13. Mind you, the NASA of today is nothing like the NASA of Apollo days. At any rate, a coworker of mine said he went to see Gravity. He thought it was good, but you had to "leave your orbital mechanics hat at the door". I hate that! Max

Xavier,Ah, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. Nearly all of the planetary probes that are built at JPL come to KSC (Kennedy Space Center) where I work. The are put on top of rockets here at the Cape and launched. All of the Mars probes and rovers were developed and built at JPL.Cool stuff they do there. Max

Love that, although some of the rocket fuels you definitly DO NOT want to smell. If ur interested rocket propellants that fall into this category look up hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide on the wiki.Max
