Re: Conversations About Science and Physics

Keep in mind one thing when posting on this thread. It's a thread about science. Links necessary. Expect points of view. Expect poking holes in statements. We'll do our best to be nice.

That's nice enough. Arigato.

Watch the ESA IXV launch

ESA’s Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle is ready for its launch and reentry mission on 11 February. The launch is scheduled for 13:00 GMT (14:00 CET) atop a Vega rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. Streaming starts at 12:45 GMT (13:45 CET)

My father worked for the Space Research Organization, so growing up all launches were a big deal in our house.

Not to mention controversial. I think.

What's controversial about it?

What's controversial about it?

Ask John Thomas Scopes if Darwin was controversial. Don't get me wrong, I strongly believe in Darwin's theory but there are those that don't feel like Creation and Evolution can coexist. It's a shame, but this forum is certainly not the place for that discussion.

This is a science thread and I'm discussing science. If someone were to object to what I'm discussing I hope for their sake they have good argument skills and evidence to back them up.

The ESA launch was successful. We now need the Space X launch to be successful as well.
SpaceX and ESA: Missions complete and pending.

DSCOVR launch was good as well. Need to find out if the satellite deployed fine.
Jump to 19:40 to see the launch.

If someone were to object there would be 2 people to answer to. Regarding my post, I wrongfully assumed that others outside the US had knowledge of the Monkey Trial which was the basis of my comment. Unfortunately, The Renaissance has not reached our shores yet since there are so many members of the Flat Earth Society among us.

No confirmation that it has reached the LaGrange point yet. For a weather satellite it needs to be in a geo stationary orbit.

A bunch of kudos on social media though.

Okay this might be slightly off topic but it does take a lot of planning and engineering to pull something like this off.

I love going to watch these. I've watched three over the last decade or so. It always leaves me in awe of the power and planning that goes into this kind of a project.

Nothing off-topic about it, it's pure physics.

Yeah, just a wee bit nippy. The good thing is we can have another Star Trek movie and the villainous Artificial Intelligence can be called T-tan.

Next time you should host a viewing party! I wouldn't mind driving over from LA to watch one of this. Looks pretty cool on video
