Awsome
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted with large ones either by Albert Einstein.

Re: The International Space Station
ill be there , but well does anyone else feel saddened at the fact government dont seem to care about space anymore budget cuts everywhere awesome projects binned, makes me sad
Re: The International Space Station
Sounds exciting (more than particle physics, if you ask me).

Re: The International Space Station
I thought they'd canned the moon project but at the same time they've actually increased NASA's budget ? Or have I misunderstood ?Shadowdraxx wrote:ill be there , but well does anyone else feel saddened at the fact government dont seem to care about space anymore budget cuts everywhere awesome projects binned, makes me sad
Similar issues to colliders, projects are now so large that they struggle to survive changes of governments.

Re: The International Space Station
I have read that some cooling solutions developed for the satellite were working so surprisingly well that they were applied in LHC as well.
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

Re: The International Space Station
cryogenics in sattelites is nothing really new since they already often used sensors or cameras which had to be operated at almost 0°k.

Re: The International Space Station
The Herschel and Planck satellites launched together last May are also operating at extremely cold temperatures.
In fact two of the detectors in Planck are said by the ESA to be "the coldest known objects in space"!... http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM0Y5S7NWF_index_0.html
More detail... http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object ... ctid=45133
Herschel is also quite cold... http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Herschel/SE ... l#subhead3
