Hey, we knew they tried it.

 

guess NASA never read KAMA SUTRA...

 

reminds me of, i think a simpsons episode where homer is floating around a spaceship eating all the chips he spilled out to the tune of that ballet song

 

lol. +1 to you for this thread

 

mile higher club??

 

whats after a kilometer? stupid american measurements dont have a word for 100+ miles

 

 

..and when you thought it looked weird when they drank orange juice in space.

 

this opens the backdoor to a hole new genre of pr0n

"wait wait, i missed the money shot...theres still a chance to catch it! QUICK...GLIDE OVER THERE CRYSTAL!








YES WE GOT IT!"

 

101 miles

 

maybe they can call it 69 mile club...how high is space?

 

The article was over 7 years old. I'm sure there's some updates...

 

boy do i hope one of the ones that worked was doggy!

 

remember the X PRIZE in which it was the contest to see the first privately funded space launch?

once the they won, both of the pilots were awarded astronaut status by the FAA.

their goal was to reach outer space at around 110 km up but only hit around 100km.

but that was enough for them to win.

so outer space is around 100km. nasa gives out astronaut status to people who fly over 50 miles, which is 80km.


for the record, the space shuttle flights are around 200-400 miles in altitude.

stuff flying around in outer space orbiting earth go higher, like certain satellites that have a geosynchronous orbits of around 25000 (+/-300) miles.

geosync orbits means they stay in the same spot at any given moment over the same spot on earth.



<--- had plans on being a rocket scientist...

 

Embry-Riddle. i went to their aerospace engineering program, and my friend just graduated with a degree in space physics.


back to the topic at hand.... image how awesome it would be to blow a load toward the camera then watch the tape later as the spum commets slowly crashed into the lens. comedy gold
