ive been considering starting a gbs space/spaceflight thread and im anticipating probating people constantly for hate bonering over elon

Cool!


Here's a space question I've been pondering: Say you were somehow "beamed" out into deep space, between stars(doesn't matter how, just a hypothetical). In a space suit so you're fine (for a while).

What medium are you "floating" in? You move your arms and legs, what are you moving in? What does your arm displace, for example, when it moves?

you would potentially displace a bit of the warm-hot intergalactic medium

this. but it is otherwise a near perfect vacuum. btw you need not "displace" anything, in theory, and you also need not necessarily react against anything to produce impulse. "nothing" would also be a perfectlty acceptable answer, if misleading and not totally accurate

Between stars though, not galaxies, so I assume it's not as "void-y" as between galaxies.

We will never have interstellar travel. We are limited to our solar system that does not have anything worthwhile in it outside of earth. Space exploration is a giant meme. I wish it wasn't, but it is.

I’m gonna call bullshit that space exploration and the advance of that knowledge and understanding of the universe is a meme.

We, as a species, couldn’t measure the electromagnetic spectrum until within a few human lifetimes ago and now we’re able, and increasingly able to, at a pace that will only continue to increase as technology expands, learn more and more detail about the universe, near and far.

Despite how far we’ve come, we are really still at the absolute dawn of that understanding relative to the scale of 4.5 billion years.

There’s so much out there that we know we don’t know, and absolutely no telling what’s out there that we don’t know that we don’t know! That’s super loving exciting!

Hello, I would like to start participating in the Friday thread.

It's 10:45 Central time here, and Friday is wrapping up.

Long time lurker. I have nothing to add, but I wanted to jump in or I never will. So, how do I get one of those flashy Friday Crew gang tags?
