Ok, so we're building this giant rocket to send lots and lots of people to Mars and beyond. Let's say Elon Musk's plan works out and we get humans to Mars' surface safe and sound on this thing. They've aerobraked and landed without a hitch, and everybody's ready for the historic first step. But how do they get from the living space thirty or forty meters above the ground to a position where they can step off and put their feet on the regolith? Is there a ladder? A staircase? An elevator? A big pillow to fall onto? I can't seem to find anything even in cutaway diagrams like this one:
Does anyone know where the exit is on this ship?
Mine is a joke crossover between Undertale and KSP. I chose to use it as my avatar because the style was pretty near spot-on what Jeb would look like in Undertale.
Ooh, I had a really good bad joke earlier this morning...but I forgot it...darn...OH WAIT!
What is the shape of an escape trajectory with a speed of a billion meters per second?
A hyperbole!
Granted, but it completely vaporizes anything within a lightyear of the origin and destination points if you use it, and causes significant damage for quite a ways beyond that.
I wish for Monday to be a snow day.
Maybe the sheer weight of the train would help the wheels cut into the ice and make virtual "tracks" wherever it goes? They still have a very big problem and probably will not go to space today, except that it's a magical train with a ghost on the roof.
After the eclipse, before the eruption, if that's what you're asking.
Or are you making a joke of the fact that I didn't specify how many dimensions the space I will visit referred to as "around Yellowstone" is? It's about two, not four, and they're projected on the surface of a spheroid which contains Yellowstone and other interesting things to visit.
I'll be visiting Yellowstone and some areas around it in August, and was wondering if there were any interesting, not-page-one-google-obvious things people here have visited around there and would recommend. I've never been to that part of the country before. I saw on NOVA that there's an old nuclear reactor test site near Idaho Falls, where I'll be staying for the eclipse, and it has a museum which would be cool to visit.
