Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | There are very few things about space that are not freaky. Contemporary space shuttles rode pillars of fire and launching one involved spraying 1100 cubic meters of water on the pad as a muffler to keep the craft from being damaged by the noise. Works such as Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress and Larry Niven's short stories have pointed out that (barring Teleportation) convenient real-space travel between planets has energy requirements on the same order as making significant holes in them. And let's not even get started on the whole 'infinite void of nothingness between the stars' aspect. Anything with the power to thrust people across light-years rightly should scare their astropants off. |
