Here's a drawing. As stuff gets sucked in, it swirls around. Very fast. As it speeds up and the particles bump into each other they heat up. They heat up as much as they can heat up. As they fall screaming in, some of the "heat" leaks away as photons in the X-Ray spectrum.
The people who do these calculations are undoubtedly taking note. In their next predictions the detail should include this. If they don't offer enough detail, their peers will not accept the descriptions.
Well, you probably know about the X-15 which went to the edge of space.
"...It was a stepping stone to later developments - either an X-15 launched atop Navaho G-26 boosters, an X-15 scramjet version, or the X-20 - that would lead to manned orbital spaceflight. This stepping-stone approach was abandoned and the crash programs of Mercury and Apollo initiated instead..."
For that matter, you can read a paper here which estimates a low end of $5,221 per passenger on an X-33 derivative.

Oh, no, this is a business trip. Those 40 carryon bags are mine, the ones with the "Iridium" logo...
We've been able to build ground-to-space aircraft for a while, we just haven't tried to do it. To have enough fuel in orbit, the easiest would have been to actually carry the spaceplane up with another aircraft. But fully self-contained is just a little harder.
My favorite is those who want to eliminate animal testing by instead using computer simulation.
Flip open any biology or medical publication and see how many details of biology are still being discovered, thus couldn't be simulated even if you had a computer powerful enough for the job.
I've wanted to buy DVDs for a year, and I have nine screens in home and car which I'd like to view DVDs on. But most of those are on Linux machines, and I'm not going to get discs in a format which I can not use. I've emailed studios to let them know they're losing customers.
Yes, it only has analog video input so you'd get only 300-400 pixels horizontally if you're lucky. At least they give the resolution. The VROS-1 page doesn't mention resolution, although $599.95 is mentioned.
I got my teenager an ACME Klein bottle to replace his bulky schoolbag. But when I wrapped it to hide it, the wrapping vanished and I couldn't find the bottle. Maybe I tied the bow in the wrong shape.
Thus, from the definition of being perfect, people sometimes choose that as a company name. The Road Runner cartoons have now trained a generation of Americans to avoid making that choice.
The fact that it places the company near the top of an alphabetical list may influence the decision...
They give the example of custom liquids glowing when sprayed on a tumor. Be a bummer to get something cut off just because you were playing with a squirt gun the night before the operation...
You've never seen a bioluminescent light tube? They're a plastic tube with a glass capsule inside. Break the capsule and the two liquids glow green for an hour or two.
I still think someone should make a generic laptop case. Mounting points for several PC/104 cards and popular power supplies, floppies, hard drives, batteries, and LCD panels.
Then if all I want is a text email box I can toss in low-performance components. If I want a high-performance box I can spend more and get the features I think are most important. If I want more batteries instead of PCMCIA slots then I can do that more easily than with the present proprietary cases. Or I could have four serial ports if I'm chatting with a lot of devices [Yes, I know I can get four serial ports on PCMCIA].
Maybe you first heard it in the 80's, but I first heard it in the mid-70's being applied to clever computer users. ("Clever" does not imply "pretty", "professional", or "perfect", but sometimes it is none and sometimes it is all of those meanings, depending upon the situation.)
A mathematical function may DESCRIBE reality, but it is not REALITY. If a mathematical function is reality, with the proper incantation you could create or change a real object. But you can't.
You need a physical device which performs the action described by your function. Your function may say how to change the altitude of something, but you need an escalator, elevator, catapult, aircraft, or rocket to actually move the object.
I don't think you'll see Star Spangled Linux. "Star Spangled" is already a trade mark for software in the USA. However, it was issued in 1992 for a large package of application software...I can't find a reference to that on the Net so it may be easy to buy the trade mark. But if the source code for that application software is available, I wouldn't mind if it were GPL'ed so it would have new life.
Then why don't I see a "File Manager" on the menu when I left-click on the root window? It's awkward to use files on a graphical GUI when there is no File Manager shown.
It's easy to use whatever you have already learned. A pop bottle is hard to use if you've only used bottles with corks, as the corkscrew keeps dropping bits of aluminum into the pop.

The Soyuz rocket is used for launching freight or the Soyuz capsule. CNN describes leaving Mir in Soyuz.

NASA doing development with X-33 and X-34. The X-33 will be flying this year. It's a test ship, so will not be reaching orbit.
Not quite, the correct address is GraniteCanyon.Com

That's what "Not Tested On Animals" means. It means "Being Tested On You".

Not that I'm sure what "plead prayer for judgement" is, although I understand the meaning.

Move along, nothing to see here...

Well, that's not something you hear of every day. Whatever that means...
