Getting from one to the other requires so much energy that not even space shuttles had enough fuel to do it. The telescope is 353 miles high, in an orbit that keeps it near the Equator; the space station is about 100 miles lower, in an orbit that takes it far north, over Russia. To have the movie astronauts Matt Kowalski (Mr. Clooney) and Ryan Stone (Ms. Bullock) zip over to the space station would be like having a pirate tossed overboard in the Caribbean swim to London.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #gravity #imported:pinboard #movies #science #space #to:fb</p> Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:12:42 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:24246 gravity imported:pinboard movies science space to:fb http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2007/mariogravity.shtml "The purpose of this analysis is to determine the evolution of gravity in the Mario video game series as video game hardware increases."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #gaming #gravity #nintendo #physics #supermario #via:waxy</p> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:11:39 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:11890 gaming gravity nintendo physics supermario via:waxy http://www.physorg.com/news12054.html "It demonstrates that a superconductive gyroscope is capable of generating a powerful gravitomagnetic field, and is therefore the gravitational counterpart of the magnetic coil."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #gravity #physics #science</p> Fri, 24 Mar 2006 17:54:49 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:6703 gravity physics science
