[Anton.Rutter]

Lucky. I'm being foster dad to a friend's chihuahua for a few months, and long before sunrise the furball jumped on my belly and fired both gazers at close range. We are going for a walk now!

Yes, Mah-Stah...brrr

[Tax-chick]

One my cats got in a fuss about the catnip mouse - she hates it - but I ignored that.

[Anton.Rutter]

This seems like a sanctuary within the maelstrom...yes, yes, please by all means do...lol

[Tax-chick]

Done! And yes, it is a sanctuary. There are discussions - often late at night concerning physics - that get intense, because we are quite serious about our space travel. However, anything that’s going to upset people is excluded.

[NicknamedBob]

"Electrolysis could separate it to hydrogen oxygen so you could burn it, but it uses so much electricity defeats the purpose..."

Correct. There are also tricks using pyrolysis and solar energy, but in general the rule stands, you can't burn something that has already been burned.

[central_va]

I say nuclear power plants could use their electricity to make hydrogen...

[Anton.Rutter]

I’m interested in that too, I think we should have let the Russians have the moon landing and taken the Freeman Dyson model to Mars and beyond. But hardcore physics and technical aspects I don’t know diddly squat.

[Darksheare]

Nope!
Best used as cannon shot.

[NicknamedBob]

"I say nuclear power plants could use their electricity to make hydrogen..."

And I say put them out by the municipal airports to provide fuel for hydrogen-burning jets. This takes care of the "chicken" part of the chicken-and-egg problem of introducing hydrogen as a fuel. If you wanted to buy a hydrogen-burning car, you could fill it up out at the airport.

The planes would look funny, like the pregnant guppy, being a lot more fuel tank, but their combustion product would be water.

I'm sure someone will mention it: "What if a plane crashes into the nuclear reactor?", so I'll answer it here: Nuclear containment vessels are designed to withstand a plane crashing into them already. And we could put them underground, so the planes could roll over them anyway.

[Tax-chick]

Nicknamedbob, Dead Corpse, and Darksheare do most of the hard-science discussion. I know just enough about physics to say something that sounds rather scienc-y when my children ask me about it. I’ve read some Richard Feynmann books!

[NicknamedBob]

The Undead Thread landed on Mars a few years ago.

We didn't use project Orion, though. We used our Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines, or as we call them, Shuttles.

[GeronL]

bump

[Tax-chick]

Howya!

[Darksheare]

Better zombies through nanomachine induced technohorror.
I mainly do sci-fi.
I just bounce ideas off people.
They don’t complain, usually.
Except that one time.

[Tax-chick]

They don’t complain, usually. Except that one time.

That's an iconic statement there.

[Darksheare]

LOL.
Hey, my idea of the teleFRAG is a hit.
*rimshot*

[Tax-chick]

If I wasn’t the first to observe that the TeleFRAG was simply brilliant, I wish I had been.

Frank just wandered by and asked, “Mama, why are you wearing this?” (Pants, a blouse, socks, and shoes.) I think it’s a trick question.

[Dead Corpse]

“Dude! Darks made brownies!”

“Brownies? That’s coffee...”

“Ooops...”

[Monkey Face]

It takes five minutes to bake a medium-sized potato in the microwave. About 2.5 minutes, flip it over, then 2-2.5 more minutes. I always butter the skins, then pierce the potatoes on both sides and the ends with a fork or a sharp knife to allow the steam to escape.

They CAN overcook, but they never burn.

[Tax-chick]

Yeah, but it takes a lot longer to cook ten of them in the microwave!
