bones2097 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 color ??? sorry to be a bore but white/silver is the only way... less they build better insulators, they have reflect most of the heat in the sun, and keep in body heat in the shade.. lol :) really if your looking for a color that will stand out in space, how about a floral pattern, perhaps some funky crochet to cover the helmet. ??? celebrities, celebrities!!! baa, chuck em in the nearest air-lock!!! i'd say.... ain't that the whole point of leaving the planet... filter out the riff-raff...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierkreis Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I suppose you have a point. In that case, they must be chrome. Everything is chrome in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmoonryzn Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 A bit off-topic, but you keep referencing "Hofstadter's Law", this law is just about as much of a law as "Murphy's Law", so no "Law" at all... For some tasks, one can very correctly estimate the time to completion, for others it's more intelligent guessing, in any case, this law does not give any evidence whatsoever that it would take longer than 10 years to complete this project, note that it is easily possible to have a convergion in the timeline so that it will never actually exceed 10 years, even infinitely taking into account this self-referencing law. ;) (in effect what it boils down to is that it's (or would be) impossible to completely accurately estimate the time to completion of a project, even though you can easily estimate a time when it will definately be done in most project cases) Enough philosophical talk though. :D HUH? did I miss something? That hurt my brain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierkreis Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Umm . . . if you read the rest of the first page, then not really . . . we kinda branched off from the normal conversation for a minute there. Anything else you don't understand can most likely be Google'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierkreis Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 If I ever have to live on a space station, I will make sure the following signs and flyers are distributed: "Cults Are Bad!" "Drugs Are Bad(unless they're synthetic and distributed by a contorted government system that makes about as much sense as a raccoon singing The Crazy Frog Song in a blender)" and "Silver Space Suits Do Not Equal Singing Skill! For The Sake Of Others, Keep Family Entertainment Acts In Space To Yourself!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 lol I'd also have signs saying "matching his and her spacesuit wearers this way -->" (AIR-LOCK) "You don't have to wear a spacesuit to work here but it helps" and "Please dispose of used spacesuits in a responsible way, bodily fluids can offend" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 How about some "still suit" kind of thingy (Dune). Drink your own ... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 lol ewwwww so long as ya don't have to drink somebody elses i could cope with that :)(tho there are some people i would share a drink with lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierkreis Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I don't see why they'd have to have a still suit function if you return to base every time you have to urinate. I mean, people wouldn't have to live in those suits like they did in Dune, would they? And if they're going to Mars, they could possibly get water from sources already present. Maybe.

Amnot Borg Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 ...depending on travel time to get to a base in the first place, it might be very handy to keep a suit nearby including on your body. also, the only sources of water are what you bring with you or in you....

Tierkreis Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Ah, I see your point about the travel time. But I thought there were some sort of polar ice caps on Mars? Are those unsafe? Am I uninformed of recent discoveries about those? Or did I read that in Weekly World News? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 i would like to think that if you are in a spaceship you don't need to wear a space suit and jeans/t-shirt would be alright but for activities with no atmosphere then you would need a suit (obviously lol). mars is a massive planet and the polar ice caps are small so unless you lived in the ridiculously cold polar extremities accessing the water would be a huge problem. it would be possible however to create water, this would be absolutely necessary if your ship had vegetative food sources.
