      XPost: sci.space.science       From: news-x@lazyeyedpsycho.cjb.dot.net.retro.com              I've sent this once already, but it hasn't shown up. Sorry if it duplicates.              >              We were discussing "Space Cadets" in work today, and someone asked if they       would put the cadets into an "anti-gravity chamber". I told them there was       no such thing, but she insisted.              There's now money riding on this.              I've printed off the section of the NASA website, where they say there is no       such thing as anti-gravity chambers. Sweet. Ten quid for me.              But the page mentions "Drop towers", and just to clarify that's not what my       colleague was referring to, I want to know if it's possible to put a person       into a chamber in a drop-tower, or would they be squished at the bottom?       Could she have seen footage of someone floating about in one?              I've already discussed the vomit-comet with her, and she says that's not       what she's referring to.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
