well...instantaneous communication is impossible in deep space...so...I can't talk with mission control
Fun fact: A signal from Voyager 1, traveling at the speed of light, takes 17 hours one way to reach Earth.
17 hours
and that's interstellar space
so, I know for sure that instantaneous communication isn't a thing in interstellar space
maybe I can look at stars outside the windows. Hmm....but that would be too boring after few years, since stars will be same every day/night. Oh, that makes a question:
How are day and night decided in interstellar space?
hmm....now that I think of it, communication might be impossible in deep space. Since the signal scatters, on earth, we use large, very large antennas to get messages from voyager. That won't be possible on my spaceship though.
@ShadowWizard that would be same actually. Since the technology controlled is under US laws, any non-US person can't apply for NASA or SpaceX. Also, spacex is just the outsourced branch of NASA. NASA is way bigger than spacex
@Mooseman government controls technology tightly. Therefore, only US citizens can work on space projects inside US. SpaceX is bound by US laws and can't hire anyone outside US
@ShadowWizard I didn't mean it literally. I meant that they are there only because NASA. If they wanna go global, they'll need to dump all technology from US and make their own patents (or things like those, I guess). What I wanted to say is, SpaceX can't exist without NASA
@ShadowWizard haha, ISRO is pretty cool too though. But, they are young. Though, they successfully tested a scaled version of re-entry vehicle recently
@ShadowWizard yeah, there's a conspiracy theory, that in Kargil war, when Israel sold bofors bombs(was it bombs or UAVs?) to India, it needed US' nod before that. Though no proofs of it, just a theory
@Mesentery Long story short, Mooseman decided to write a bot. I am written in JS and run as a Chrome extension. Github repo and a purpose for my existence coming soon. (I also process close votes for privileged users.)
