Though, as the US sends up volumes likely sealed at sea level so there would be less to accommodate at the ISS airlock if the pressures were approximatly equal.
And if you drink lots of beer, you learn both about Newton's laws and why you want propulsion lined up with the center of mass rather than below it. Ivan is in a spin, repeat, Ivan is in a spin.
In Heaven they have no beer,
That’s why we drink it here...
License and registration please sir. Do you know why I stopped you? You were going about 17,000 miles per hour around that last orbit. How much have you had to drink tonight?
LOL!
NASA sent a married couple into space many years back. Reporters asked if they would do it in space and NASA said, “Of course not!”
Our high school typing class key chart was marked up with “Space Bar & Grill”.
A True Magazine cover that year showed a chick baring her boobs to an astronaut in a spacesuit who looked trapped.
Trouble is, you get no buzz from synthehol. Thus Quark’s reference to the Federation being like root beer.
When I lived in Colorado, someone once told me the quickest way to get drunk was to drive up Mount Evans and drink a six pack. I asked if that included the drive time.
A priest was driving to New York and got pulled over in Connecticut for speeding. The trooper smelled the booze and saw an empty wine bottle on the floorboard. He asked, “Father, have you been drinking?” The priest said, “Just water.” The trooper asked, “What’s that?” pointing to the bottle in the floorboard. The priest said, “Good Lord! He did it again!”
No White Castles in space.
Excellent episode. The Way of the Warrior. Quark was not trying to refer to the Federation in any comparison between synthehol and root beer though. Quark was comparing root beer, itself, to the Federation. The Klingons had just massively attacked Cardassia convinced they were under control of the Dominion.
Anyhow here is the actual conversation which was nearly cut from the final episode but left in at the insistence of the actors. It turned out to be one of the most memorable scenes in DS9 and pretty much any other Star Trek episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VhSm6G7cVk
“Houston, hey Houston! Bubba just busted a window in the space station trying to hit a satellite with a beer bottle!”
So if you can’t get drunk in space we have to write Whoppi out of the franchise?
Just like the idea of “doing the nasty” in space, when asked if the Russians have tried it, Mr Kitty’s reply is, “Of, course.”
Careful, they’re ruffled.
Opening the airlock at the wrong time would be problematic as well. Falling over on the wrong button or damaging vital equipment might just cause your death as well.
I have doubts about everything.
