It came from OUTERSPACE!
Read two stories over the last two of days and they dealt with space and testing that goes on. Everyone is aware that many great things have been accomplished or invented because of the space race. TANG for one. But now I think their running out of ideas and are just testing to keep the money flowing.
The 1st one is mad germs. These goof-balls are studying germs and how a space ride affects them. If you ever watched the movie “Andromeda Strain” then you would understand why someone would study this. But instead of finding a virus/germ that would kill us, we just pissed them off.
Yep -- the study came up with PISSED OFF GERMS. Now think about this. How do you know that you pissed off a germ. Does it swear at you? Does it stomp it's little what-ever and move off? Or does it just lay there and not speak to you.
They never covered those questions so I guess we will never know what a pissed of germ does. Click here for an article about it!
The second space topic was about dragging 18 miles of cord behind a satellite to slow it down. What they would do is fire the card or cable at the earth and the drag from it would slow everything done and the satellite would return. Kinda make ya wonder how they come down now right? Keep in mind that this has been tested, but the cable hung and they only spooled out 5 miles or so.
So the next time you see something float by with string attached, don't yank on it. You may just yank an ASTRONUT out of orbit!
