Yep, definitely okay. Sources for my response are Brian Cox's "The Quantum Universe", and Wikipedia articles for "Quantum Mechanics" and "Higgs-Boson Particle", as well as the CERN webpage for the Standard Model.

To put this in context, you have to understand first how most of the sub-atomic particle discoveries have been made over the last couple of decades.

X-37B is on the smaller side being an unmanned craft. Here is a picture with some peoples for size reference on scale.

No, a moon impact would be pretty awesome. First off, this isn't a planetary body shattering sized object, it's just a big asteroid.

Fortunately in this case it has been downgraded to a 0.2% chance to perform a keyhole event in 2023. If it does hit the keyhole event then there would be a 10% - 15% chance of an impact on 2040. If it does not hit the keyhole event, then it would again be only a 0.2% chance of impact.

The annoying thing is that Andrew Wakefield single-handedly made the link between Vaccinations and Bad Stuff Like Autism (tm). Before him it wasn't even a consideration, and he created that link intentionally after being paid to do so by a group of lawyers presenting cases by 8 very stupid parents that wanted to…

There is microscopic poop everywhere. There's also much more disgusting particulates all over stuff around you, where ever you are.

My favorite part is how Orbital's launch vehicle is using an engine based on the N-1's on their launch vehicle.

Your supposition that the Apollo missions were faked based on the Van Allen belts is interesting considering that we know that they do not pose a threat to human health, particularly considering the extremely small amount of time a manned space craft leaving LEO spends in them.

I think f(x)'s new EP sounds a lot stronger than the new GG material. Though I will always respect the cabaret quality that GG brings to their performances.

All this did was remind me that it's been too long since I watched Cowboy Bebop. Every time I start to think maybe it wasn't the single best animated series ever I need to get a little shot of Bebop and every thing comes back into focus.

I was so excited for this to come out after becoming a Persona convert from P3P, I pre-ordered the JPN release (woo almost here!).

In the case of a micro-singularity it would have no impact since the mass is the same. For the same reason it wouldn't be able to suck up the Earth since it's gravity wouldn't have changed from the originating material, it only becomes more dense.

My first thought on seeing mention of the ISS was that its orbit around the Sun would be dramatically changed. Ultimately it would probably end up in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, I don't think the moon would have enough pull to capture at that distance. And the moon will be shot off in a random direction as…

Seems like the real problem with even approaching the concept of attacking a reanimated skeletal construct is the mechanics by which is is reanimated.

A little bad guy hookup in progress it seems...

The new ICCM industry - Inter-Continental Cargo Missle.

Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer) began his online writing career picking apart the bad science in films. He wrote an article titled "How I Stopped Worrying (About Science Accuracy) and Learned to Love the Story" available on Science & Entertainment Exchange:

That general glow you're seeing from Earth is actually a naturally occurring phenomenon called "airglow". Airglow is unrelated to human activity, and is the result of excitement of atoms in the atmosphere, leading to light emission. Airglow is responsible for a large majority of the nighttime light (moonless night)…

Shirts don't drape in micro-gravity the way they do in gravity. They always kind of billow out. They also have to tuck them in like "nerds" cause if they didn't resonance waves would cause their shirt hems to ride up and down their chests the whole time.
