The Pull of HyperGravity A NASA researcher is studying the strange effects of artificial gravity on humans. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/07feb_stronggravity.htm?list760961
I had planned to put grav training, or using a steady increade on gravity reather that reps or weight for excercise, in my books. The most common users would be the military, training marines up to 1.6 g's or so.
I don't post all of them. I find all of them interesting. But I only post here the ones I suspect some of you people will enjoy reading.
hei adam, can you make some kind of rude, but correct remark about a certain group of people. I always enjoy reading those. regards, spuriousmonkey prof. UOL
Most of NASA's problems (including the Columbia) are the result of them being too heavy on bureaucracy. Most of their money goes to paper-shuffling and committes, not enough goes to actually doing space stuff. When they actually do space stuff, they develop new systems, ever more complex systems, and stuff them into things. The more complex a system, the more chance of it breaking down. The greater the number of complex systems in one project (ie. a shuttle) the greater the chance one of them will break down in any given preiod of time. They need to limit spending on bureaucratic bullshit to something like 40%, and have the rest going directly into actual launches of tried and trusted technology to put more and more of humanity's influence into space. Bureaucrats suck.
let's include the politicians too in our group of idiots. The space shuttle is getting a lot of support from politicians because it is a moneymaker for the states they represent.
