@LREKing: I will give you the benefit of the doubt, only because I've not seen the trailer. (or, of course, the movie)

@syafiqjabar of Mars: I can live with the seeming inconsistenncy of a black Heimdall, but they are supposed to be the Norse Gods, pure and simple. (sometimes seen with Hercules and the deities of other pantheons) That's been made clear in the comics, with entire story lines hanging on it, far too many times...

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: Perhaps because pondering questions like these are one of the things we do medicine and extend lives for...

Strangely enough, someone else recently asked the same question...

@dirtybacon: And of course, Power Girl...

First, understand that not all space travel is space exploration, any more than all ocean-going vessels are oceanographic research ships.

@Dejanus: Except for some high orbit satellites (especially those that detect nuclear detonations on the surface or in space), the DoD's interest and responsibility in space pretty much ends at LEO. And with good reason.

@corpore-metal: And eventually, space activities that are neither government, nor corporate.

@Nivenus: This is one of the things that drives the Moon-Hoaxers. They don't understand how stuff behaves in vacuum (like the Apollo flags), so they must be fake.

@Harshael: Okay, that's the one I was trying to tell Island of Misfit Toys about...

@Sunwind: In a vacuum, by definition, there's nothing to be hot or cold. It's like asking what the color of something is, in a totally dark room.

@Gilese: There's a difference between anoxia (lack of O2) and suffocation (excess of CO2).

@Island of Misfit Toys: I heard of the incident in books many years ago, and saw the video itself at this URL, earlier this year...

Easy. When Star Trek first aired in 1966 I was 12. I experienced them as they came.

But there's been plenty of space news lately. X-37, Falcon-9/Dragon, SpaceShipTwo glide tests, a Soyuz landing...

"Out, out, damned spot!"

@rhmoon: "For the record, for me, inches are preferable to centimeters when talking about the length of my fingers..."

@psybab: Unfortunately, many true nerds neer gethe opprotunity to look for that spot...

@NotANumber: Kind of like 'party.' It can be a noun or a verb...

@LREKing: I was thinking maybe it could power a vibrator...but that began to look like a perpetual motion machine.
