    ydoc16, it was you who first mentioned the shuttle, in your 'object A' analogy. I was merely pointing out that the shuttle doesn't have any protection, and that the recent disaster shows have fragile it is.

    So you got the idea from being shot in the leg with a BB gun, which produces maybe 2 ft.lbs of energy, and then extrapolate this to an object with 22,000+ ft.lbs of energy.

    A bit of a leap!

    Like I say, if it could be done, it would be done, greater minds that yours are working on this stuff every day.

    it was an example you moron can you do me a favor and shut the hell up. they have in fact made kevlar sheets that absorb the impact of a bullet that act in the same manner as my PANTS did i dont base anything i say on theory or conjectur only proven fact you sitting here picking my sentances apart is annoying and i wish you would leave me alone if i knew where the ignore button is on these forums was trust me youd be on the list.

    p.s. if there is a ignore list can someone show me how to add this guy besides him.

    Have you seen this before?

    http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/RealTime/JTrack/3D/JTrack3D.html

    Click the link “J-Track 3-D” and it will open up a real time satellite-tracking applet. You can zoom in and out, find particular satellites and get a variety of views. You can also use it to see which satellites have gone or will be going over your location.
