 Some clever fellow a few years back made a little scooter based on this principal and made so much on the idea he can afford the finest denim in the land. - phrontist [more] |

Re: Amusing article on the launch
Ive always wondered, when they build probes to send to Mars and other planets, and they build them in sterile white rooms so they will be free of all contamination
how do we know they do not pick up things on the way up through the atmosphere? How do we know we have not already unintentionally carried life on our probes to other planets? The probes that are sent to look for traces of life? I cant drive my car more than 2 miles in the summer without hitting insects on the windshield and front grill (esp after I wash it). How can you blast a rocket through 60 miles of atmosphere without hitting something on the way up?
