What would happen if you turned a vacuum cleaner on in space? My guess is either the motor would spin freely and burn up in a short time due to lack of air resistance, or it would lock up instantly since the lube oil would freeze.

Thoughts?

It would over-speed and overheat, just like if you plug the vacuum cleaner head.

Or rig one into an industrial-sized plug with coat hangars and solder. For science, of course. :shifty:

(Actually, when I did that it didn't overspeed, it just fried. Oh well.)

Ah, I just love to land Soyuz at unusal places and look at the results in Google Earth. Today I aimed for Peenemünde and ended up on a beach in Poland, less than 10 metres away wrom the water.

Some of you may know I'm in band at my school. Well we have a freshman trumpet player named Drew. His little brother Zach is 7 years old and has a terrible rare disease called Myleo-dysplastic Syndrome (MDS). He's having to get a bone marrow transplant and has had MANY chemo treatments. People from band are donating toys to him, and money to his parents who will spend weeks with him at Texas Children's Hospital. We're having a big event to raise money in a couple weeks. I've just been getting people to add him on facebook to get to know him and help spread the word to support him and his family. If anyone would like to get to know him or just let him know you're praying for him, you can find Zachary's facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001736049622

If that's the Orbiter board game, then this must be the AMSO add-on:

Oh my god... n-tv (a German CNN-like station) selected Deine Lakaien as music for their world views segment... usually the realm of absolute mainstream...

 

[Spacethingy]

Hooray! I've just managed to get an Orbiter scenario into a Mechanics question for college...

Meanwhile, the fun continues for Qantas:

An international Qantas flight had to be diverted to Darwin overnight after a man suffered a heart attack on board.

Perhaps he was consumed with worry? It was an Airbus afterall (albeit an A330).

I sense a media attack coming up the road... :dry:

Ah the media... to quote The Cosmic Grid in this month's Astronomy magazine, "A high-ranking member of the Kepler satellite mission potentially leaks information to the press, making us at Astronomy feel like typical journalists for once."

This is a classic moment. Most of us have been there, right?
