Space Cadets
Just watched it for the first time. Man those people are dumb. They clearly have not got any contesents who know anything about going into space.
But I wonder what will happen when they find out its fake. I could see one of them committing suicide.

When i saw the first episode and they were told they were going to be flown into space I cringed. Maybe im just not gullible but why on earth would channel 4 pay 30 million to send someone into space, and what about the chance of them burning up when they reenter. I doubt they'd want that on their hands.
Either they are really really stupid to believe the whole scenario, or they are playing along with it in the hope of winning some cash.

I thnk they are a bit thick.
I think the idea is to keep pushing them more and more to see what they can get away with.
They clearly have no idea about going into space. A nerd like me would have known what is real and what is not.
I know how the toilet in the shuttle works, as I read every book on the thing. So I would have known today they wre telling them rubish.
Wha was interesting was CH4 bought a second hand russian space suite for 20k. They said brand new it was 100k. I had to smile as Nasa's cost 2 million and they do not work. Russia do things and the cheap but it works.

:D I wouldn't have a clue how a toilet works in space i must admit, but there are some real give away signs that they are throwing in. Its a good job none of them know any russian too or they would have known they were saying different things like the subtitles showed us lol.
I've been watching it throughout but i'm finding it a bit boring now.

you shit into it.
If I remember it sucks then cleans. Your in a sealed unit to prevent things floating around.
On TV they used toilet paper. You could not use toilet paper as flagments can float around.
The thing about being in the craft it that you need to prevent as much as possible and fragments floating around. One reason why they where full body socks to even prevent skin (dust) going around.

In the shuttle you use fully sealed up equipment.
The toilet seals in your privats and the shower is more like a bodybag.
Yes I am a nerd.

They have gravity in the ships in starwars.
You must do exersises in space as the muscles decrease quick as they are not being used.
They say you live longer if you go into space.

The space suits have a big job.
They are made so that you do not freeze or fry when you face the sun. As suchthe big chalenge is to make them so you can stay out longer. Its why NASSA spent 2 million on each suite, but found they were not any better.

One way they train you for no gravity is to fly a plane up high, then just let it free fall. Thus everything inside apears to have no gravity. I think its a 747.

mmm indeed, but it has to follow a true parabolic curve to remain weightless so that it falls to earth at the correct speed of 32 foot per second per second .. or 9.81 meters per second per second if you want it in french after taking wind resistance into consideration ... now whos the nerd !!!
You bugger!! payback i take it? ;)
is that what i get for being helpful? fine, suit yourself. :mad:
