"Capsaicin is also the active ingredient in the chemical riot control agent pepper spray. When the spray comes in contact with skin, especially eyes or mucous membranes it is very painful."
"Pepper spray (also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, or capsicum spray) is a lachrymatory agent which is used in riot control, crowd control and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs. It is a non-lethal agent that can be deadly in rare cases. The American Civil Liberties Union claims to have documented fourteen fatalities from the use of pepper spray. The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chillis. Long-term effects of pepper spray have not been effectively researched."
Apparently someone was curious.. (Mental image of evil scientist deviously spraying innocent mice with pepper spray while laughing.. deviously.)
Although the wikipedia also has another definition for "Google Talk" recently added:
Google Talk is an instant messenging system that the search engine company Google is rumored to be developing. On 23 August 2005, the LA Times reported that Google will release an IM system on 24 of August. Other news reports have noted that Google has created a Google Talk subdomain, and that the company already has an active Jabber server.
The reason I asked should be obvious. While the Columbia disaster may have provoked political and fiscal concerns, we should not forget that Columbia wasn't the first shuttle that 'Disentergrated' causing the loss of astronauts. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasa
Just looking at US history, we've engaged in nearly 3182 (approx. Source: http://www.space.com/news/spacehistory/cape_launch es_000722.html ) launches. In all of that time, the entire launch process should have been perfected. The list of steps, including checking heat shields should have been done every single time.
Using your logic, 'how many times did you check you had your wallet with you before the time you left it at home?' is not really an accurate representation of the NASA space program since we should be learning from our mistakes. One would think that we improve on systems and procedures to prevent repititions of past mistakes.
Do you usually go down a pre-launch checklist before leaving your house to ensure you have everything? Do you usually have a debreifing each time you get home to identify what parts of the day you could improve upon? If you forget your wallet one day, would it be added to the checklist the next day? After nearly 30 years, do you think your checklist should "accidently" not include ensuring you have your keys?
Debris is not an unknown issue. Please do not assume that just because it was determined to be the cause of the Columbia distaster, that it was the only time that aspect of launching a rocket into space was ever considered.
There may certainly have been "Debris Seen Hitting Shuttle During Launch".. But this should be no surprise since NASA scientists and engineers have stated that debris always falls, and it is 'impossible' to prevent. That's why, should you look at the shuttle time line, you will see that they are taking many more preventative measures than have ever been taken in the past. However, this begs the question.. Why weren't these steps taken before?
26 Jul - Takeoff - Wednesday - A large amount of camera and recording equipment are used to monitor the body of the aircraft during liftoff.
27 Jul - A 100 Foot Robotic Arm will inspect the shuttle's shield areas.
28 Jul - The shuttle will backflip approx 600 feet from the space station, allowing it's underside to be photographed with high-resolution cameras on the space station.
29 Jul - 3 Aug - Three 6.5 hour spacewalks have been scheduled to test and repair any heat shield damage.
