Computers in Space Examined

Wil Harris writes "There's an article about the computers used in space missions over at bit-tech this morning. It covers the processor types and speeds, why space stations are less powerful than the laptops that astronauts take up with them and why tape storage is still de rigeur. An interesting and concise couple o' pages."

"Awww, come on. Just a quick one."

Jack leaned back in his chair. Normally his patter was much smoother, but he thought he had her nailed. A socially inept appeal was just what the doctor ordered. At this moment. At this place.

"Pop it, yeah, come on baby!"

Crossing his fingers...yes! She lifted her top, exposing her breasts for about two and a third seconds. Nice "heavy C" breasts with large-diameter, dark-skinned areolae. Oval shape. Oval in the vertical direction, although what vertical meant was up in the air, literally, as the woman was aboard the space shuttle, orbiting over the Atlantic somewhere.

Isn't modern technology wonderful? Jack thought to himself.

"They could float thru that door any second. Take another chance! Scary stuff!"

In a few minutes, he'd have her with her top up for a good 30 seconds, half her mind on excitement, the other half paying attention to whether her colleagues would come bobbing in. And 30 seconds was all he'd need to get done. 30 seconds on tape that is, which he could loop over and over. He switched on the recorder.
