ok, lets see how clever you are

Heh he. bl**dy astronauts spreading myths.

The gravity on the space station is about 9 tenths of that on the earth. Much higher than even the moon.
The space station is a high gravity weightless environment


question 6

why do women go to the bogs in gangs

Because there's generally a queue, so it's nice to have someone to talk to while you're waiting.

Here's a question: if you're in a sealed box and weightless, how would you measure the gravitational force? i.e. how would you tell you're in a weightless environment in orbit, rather than a genuine zero-g environment in deep space, or at the L1 Lagrangian point between two bodies?

Peer pressure, so that things like this don't happen. http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...ders-when.html

this proves that its the way that the brain is wired thats the problem. How can you tell ? well you cant, your senses would tell you the same whether you were weightless due to freefall(ie in orbit) or weightless due to to zero gravity

Might just do it.

Don't understand how brain wiring comes into it ...

Why does the handrail on an escalator go ever so slightly faster than the steps so you end up at 45 degrees when you step off?

If it went at the same speed as the steps it would get left behind.

Because it is longer than the steps but has the same number of revolutions per hour.

So you look like a ****** when you fall off at the end...

That's just you, because you've got an EU standardised banana stuck up your jacksie.
