Dude you're a seattleite!? Me too! Man though the weather today! It's roasting I love it!
I am!! And same yeah it’s a little humid for my taste but there’s a nice breeze!! I hope it sticks around so I can get in a bike ride this weekend, my tried and true mental health solution
I love your blog, it's super interesting! I have a 2 part question about Space Stations with rotational artificial gravity. 1) how would spaceships dock with it? Would they have to match the rotational speed? And 2) if only Part of the station spins, how do occupants move from the Artificial Gravity part to the Zero G part?
Perhaps the best (real as “most realistic”) example is the orbital station shown in 2001:A Space Odyssey. This docking scene not only shows things that are possible and plausible, it sets the orbital ballet to the music of The Blue Danube by Strauss.Take a couple of minutes to watch the docking sequence and enjoy the experience.
At about a minute into the clip, you can see the PanAm Clipper (”The Sky is No Longer the Limit!”) staring to match the stations rotation. Once that happens, the shuttle can enter the docking bay without a problem. At about 1:47, you see the view of the station from the now-rotating shuttle. Because they are both rotating in the same direction at the same speed, they can easily dock.
Even though this film was made in 1968, it shows that Kubrick’s special effects people understood how things move in space.
As for transferring from the zero-g part to the part with gravity, its a simple as going ‘down’ until you reach the hub. Within the docking area at the center, you’re so close to the center of rotation that you don’t feel hardly any centrifugal force at all, so you just careful float over to the lift that takes you down to the hub.Some stations designs have a central core that does not rotate with the rest of the station. Discovery, the spaceship in 2001 has an internal rotational ring, so you have to transfer from a non-rotating part to the rotating part.
As you move away from the center of rotation, you ‘speed up’, and the centrifugal force you feel, and therefore the gravity you perceive, will increase.
For more information on rotational gravity, I direct you to Project Rho - a website that goes into professional-level detail about spaceships and spaceflight. WARNING: It is very math heavy.

How dare
Happy birthday!!
yay thank you!! <3
@garzabird i have a lanyard, and usually i leave it in my locker, but i forgot to take it off on wednesday, so i went home with it and forgot to grab it before i left :/ it was worse when i had a magnetic name tag though, bc i definitely forgot to take it off after my shift and it was so tiny that i forgot to take it back to work. at least with the lanyard, i'll usually notice i still have it on when i put my sweater back on before leaving
@rattyjol ha detto: Maybe hammocks with a hole for the face? Like those massage beds, so you can lie face down
@garzabird ha detto: ooh, what about like, those massage chairs? that you, like, sit on them, but kindof lie forward?
similar idea! i don’t think face holes would work in a hammock, but it’s funny
massage chairs/bed would work too hmm

#my thing is cause it doesn't even taste like pumpkin#it's false advertising yo! i went into that drink Expecting a pleasant pumpkin-y expirience#and what i got was a mouthful of sugar and nutmeg#bleegh#i don't know why other people hate it tho#and i don't hate it so much i'd be nasty about people who like it#like#that's rude#let them enjoy their fakey pumpkin in peace#pumkin cake donughts tho#that's where it's at#pumpkin empanadas#even better than pumpkin pie#less cream and sugar to get in the way of that PUMPKIN FLAVOR#so you see where my priorities lie#but i am Pumpkin Georg adn should not have been counted#im more about that pumpkin than i am about the spice if you catch my drift
oh man I didn’t mean to imply that simply disliking pumpkin spice is misogynist or anything. Lol. I don’t like it either. It’s the unwarranted hostility towards other people drinking it that looks suspicious to me.
@garzabird ha risposto al tuo post :i see a lot of posts about being proud of your...
Right?? Like I really like my real name, it’s super pretty when you say it right, but people are like HAHA that sounds like a disease! How do you even say that! Haha! I just don’t have the energy for that all the time
oh man, that sucks, i'm sorry :(((((( that's such a mean thing to say about someone's NAME. but yeah i get u, that's really taxing to deal with constantly
