Space talk: Planets line up 6/3/24

Oh no! Then HELL would be a terribly horrifying place for me!! Got to stay away from that!

But I could think of some cool things for HEAVEN.

Indeed

One day I hope they come up with 3D virtual reality space exploration experience.

We need beyond Ready Player One level stuff so we can truly experience things

You could get the sights, sounds, and smells--and perhaps much of the tactile stuff (temperature, humidity, fabrics, etc.), but the sensations of lower or even zero gravity would be very difficult to recreate. What most people don't realize is that being in say the ISS (International Space Station) would feel like what your guts feels like when you go down a roller coaster. Granted, the initial descent on a roller coaster is a little higher, but not much. The sensation is that like you're constantly falling. You get "used to it" after a while, but it's just another reason why not everyone is cut out to be an astronaut!

We need technology where you basically fall asleep and can experience all sensations, but it's all actually in your mind

How the astronauts wash their face in space:

The water reminds me of the texture of aloe vera.
I had no idea the density and consistency of water would be so impacted in space.

Cool

Useless trivia time: It's actually due absence of gravity rather than space. What's even weirder is how fire behaves in zero and near zero gravity!

Why don't they use something like a wipe which is already wet?

[npixelz]

Good q there, Gngerale

Hmm, I would gather that drying a wet towel out wouldn't be easy/good. Not much laundry being done in space and the struggle is to keep the humidity down (every time we breath out and sweat we add to the humidity). It's a constant struggle in a spacecraft/space station.

[npixelz]

Makes sense! Good a there, Galled

[Lemon Cheesecake]

How do they dry out the cloths they do use then?

Trying to fix my timeline .
