I ended up just printing this out and sticking it in my glove box, as I'm horrible at remember little details like the connection order:

In reality, they won't. The external tank tooling has already been disassembled, so it would be prohibitively expensive to make another external tank. Also, enough people have been let go already at NASA and United Space Alliance (the shuttle launch contractor) that it would again be prohibitively expensive to

As said, it's being designed for use on the moon (and other bodies), which has about 1/6 earth gravity.

For a capsule endoscopy (what this is for), you're just looking at the small intestine, so it's fine to just fast for the day beforehand.

@ DangerousLiberal

It's not a pure oxygen environment, so insta-splosion is not a concern. However, every other concern you can think of when it comes to fire in space is one here, not to mention it burning up your available oxygen.

@Fizzgig: umm, as I said, I'm using a 'wired' fm, modulator. It doesn't broadcast, it just goes inline with my antenna cable. Yes it required digging around in the back of my car stereo, but I don't have to fight other frequencies (such as NPR, which is awesome). But yes, I do understand your pain, as I've been there.

@DangerousLiberal: Sorry, but I want to say this every time I see your avatar - Yay for AK! (grew up in Fairbanks)

@diverguy: If you didn't read the ones around it, you wouldn't get it. Turns out that she then locks him to the bedpost, robs him, and steals his car.

@Beavertank: Ehh, he'd be back around in ~45 minutes, and their suits are designed for hours of spacewalks. That being said, I don't think I'd be quite content with just floating away like that.

@Abraham Song: Also, what herbs / etc. do you recommend? I'm apparently just a padawan learner in the ways of bacon.

@Nitesh: But it truly is a heart attack on a plate. But I'm young, and fit, so I'm all right, right? But yes, it does add a delicious flavor. In fact, I think I'll make some tonight.

@Abraham Song: I had not heard of this 'glazed bacon' of which you spoke. I was intrigued. So I looked it up. And was further intrigued. So I made some, and was delighted. You, sir, are my hero.

@tomsomething: One of the better bumper stickers I've seen is a red one that says 'If this sticker looks blue, you're driving too fast'.

@tomqvaxy: Oh, but I am into saving it. Greatly increases the flavor the Kraft Mac N Cheese, especially when it's made with butter and whole milk. Heart attack, here I come!

@farcedude: Guess I should clarify - it will overpower whatever is coming over the antenna, so you don't have to worry about free stations.

@Khaim: You are absolutely right about drifting 'up' or 'down' relative to the station. Additionally, if the astronaut drifted 'North' or 'South' they would then be in a higher inclination orbit. They would still have roughly the same orbital period as the space station, and all orbits pass over the equator twice in

What I ended up doing was getting a wired fm modulator. It goes inline with the antenna line to the radio, and when turned on it takes over one of two specified radio frequencies, and allows you to put in whatever line level input that you want. I had to find a 12v power source, but heck, what do I need an ashtray

@Gilliam: Ehh, I'm on satellite, and while 'not dial-up', it ain't no broadband. My down is 1.58 Mb/s, but my up is 0.08 Mb/s, and the ping is 786 ms. Yes, 786. I believe the term is 'glacial'.
