Bazza Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Maybe not. Having that as a portfolio could be limiting, to the event horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 A conversation from one of yesterday's classes, wherein we watched the Cosmos revival episode "Deeper, Deeper, Deeper Still": “So Mr. Pariah, the video said that light takes time to travel, so when we look out into space, we’re looking back in time?”“That's right.”“So if we could travel faster than light and then look back at the Earth, would we see the Earth’s past?”“Yes, we would.”“Whoa. That is so cool!” I love conversations like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'm reminded of the time traveler story from the first Callahan's collection, the guy who went into a third-world prison in the mid-sixties and was released ten years later into the Nixon seventies. Talk about a different world. (A late fifties to late sixties transition would probably have been even more jarring, I suppose.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Probably there's a much greater importance to engineering, as well. Knowing someone expired due to lack of oxygen is easy; understanding how that lack came about is more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Lack of oxygen is a huge drawback, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Did it happen because the hull is breached? Is the O2 valve stuck closed? Is there a fire? What you do (besides scream like a little girl) depends on details like that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
