  1. I guess you have never been frozen out of a car or doctors office from an air conditioner on high? Lol If they have a high enough air flow, they can certainly remove enough heat, and they know exactly how much heat needs to be removed as well.

  2. ​ @beenaplumber8379 We The People also have the right to decide to spend their own money and go walk in space, and there is no scientific or national reason for tax payers to pay for this particular mission, and it's not costing the tax payers anything more than a satellite launch or driving down the road costs, because all the FAA people are already on salary, and there are probably licensing fees that have to be paid anyway. So there is no reason to complain that they are doing anything wrong, or that NASA should be the one doing this. Also, SpaceX and NASA share everything with each other, and NASA personal are embedded in SpaceX already, as part of the Knowledge Transfer agreements, so NASA is benefitting from this just as much as SpaceX. But since it's a privately funded mission, the customer gets to decide what to share about it, and whether it's live streamed probably has more to do with technical limitations than anything. So basically you sound like a kid who wants everything to be done your way, and are complaining that Jerod isn't sharing HIS toys with you. It's also funny how you refer to the constitution, when freedom to enjoy his space flight in private is one of the things that makes this country great! Lol

  5. ​ @fritz46 things in space get incredibly hot from the sun with no air in between to absorb and filter heat. On the shaded side, they get really cold though. So depending on what it is, it could either freeze or boil, depending on if it reflects or absorbs the heat.

  6. ​ @memonk11 you are half correct, SpaceX would not exist without government CONTRACTS, in other words, doing work and providing services to the government and receiving renumeration for it. But the same is true of ULA, Mcdonnel Douglas, Raytheon, and so many of the other military and aerospace companies, and probably is even true of Boeing itself sometime in the past, and definitely true of large divisions at Boeing. But that's not the same as having received money without providing a service in exchange.
