hugix Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 This phrase comes from Orwell's Animal Farm. If they were using it in a mocking, satiric, or joking way & talking about politics they might've been trying to make a point.I knew the phrase from somewhere, that's probably the reason I've translated the thoughts of a (famous) dutch politician this way.

ChrisSpace Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) What is Obama's last name?I have seen this one many times, and it never gets old XDAlso, some things I remember from my old school:'meteors blow a permanent hole in the atmosphere, like they do in the ground''satellites are clearly fake because the ones they show in orbit (the actual satellite with the antennas and solar panels) look completely different when they launch (he thought the launch vehicle was the same thing)'Gravity does not exist, as I will show you in this experiment *grabs a sheet of paper and a balloon* Gravity states that objects will pull relatively lighter objects towards it *holds paper just under the surface of the balloon* This paper is relatively much lighter than this balloon, so why isn't the balloon pulling the paper towards it?'

He WAS the first man on the moon, and not too many people know about Gagarin. Besides, what would you rather do, make them feel stupid or tell them what the correct thing is?

All I had to do was enable the addon to make it workStarwhip*facepalm*He had both the addons, he said.He fixed kspdir.txt, he said.

livefree75 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) "We could take one of Jupiter's moons and put it into orbit around the Earth, after the Moon recedes too far away"First, you would need an absolutely huge rocket to move a moon: Second, by the time the moon gets far enough away to not be helping us anymore, we will have developed the tech to keep it in orbit.

Being a person who is often seen reading books about Space and Flight, people often exclaim to me that the Apollo landings were hoaxed, all the time.I was really annoyed.

kStrout Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Just last week I lost respect for my science teacher when she insisted that friction caused meteors to heat up on re-entry, it does play a part but the air compressing is where most of the heat comes from. I have had this argument with EVERY SCIENCE TEACHER I HAVE HAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
