RE: Space: the final... junkyard?
Space debris as the article says is a danger for the space station and for astronauts since this debris travels 10 times faster than the speed of a bullet here on earth, recently we lived the case of the space shuttle that had about to be hit by an object, but thanks to the sensors it could be detected two 2 hours before the impact, otherwise the astronauts would experience a great tragedy.
About the Dextre robotic arm, it is good that the astronauts have this very useful tool, because going into space and repairing something manually would be a fixed double weapon since they are willing to lose their life if it is hit by a screw or any other type of garbage. that travels an average speed of 25 thousand Kilometers per hour.
I have a question and curiosity !!
Are you Steve and Christopher's family?
Thank you for the comment! I am sure the astronauts appreciate being able to stay inside and rest while the robot does repair work so they can minimize risk to themselves!
Yes! Hi.
I am Steve's brother. Nice to connect with you.
It is a pleasure to meet you, I hope to have a lasting friendship here on steemit with you and continue reading your post, which by the way these types of topics fascinate me to talk about astrophysics and the mystery of the universe, although here you talked about how dangerous space can be for the astronauts.
It fascinates me too. Maybe we should try to get an astronomy community started.
That idea sounds great, I could run as a community moderator :-) but there is a problem that all communities face.
You and I do not have the necessary steempower to compensate all users who want to share their content in the community, so a sponsor would be missing.
Yes, I have been contemplating how to get sponsors involved in order to start building some communities. It is a hurdle for sure.
There is a better chance of success by trying. : )
Well .. let's get to work where we started.But later since it is 12:04 am in my country and I am going to sleep my discord is Ruzmaira#8537 just in case you want to contact me
