Most of asia is low on women. They place far too much preference on males for cultural, manual labor and religious reasons.. gender selected artificial insemination and gender specific abortions push the gender gap even further. Instead of a nice diversified group of space travelers, we'll have a sausage fest up in space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_sex_ratio

One day..... one day....

I forgot about that. The ISS is low orbit.. but even when I try to catch a glimpse of it in the sky at night, its always just below the tree line for me. NASA had a good page showing its flight path, but I haven't looked at it in a long time. l think I had some Gundam Wing on my mind when I was thinking about large space construction. They made those colonies in the Lagrange points so they wouldn't have to worry about a degrading orbit. If NASA chose one of those locations, it'd probably make their construction easier. I suppose we are the only ones discussing this, oh well, we can stop. Yay science!

I could only imagine what that looked like from Earth.

Robocop will be in theaters this February, here is a new trailer. This post has been promoted to an article

@Sledg: Hey, did you stay till after the credits? There is a bit of a hint to what is actually going on...

Yea it is a problem, the only way I can think of would be a magnet, but I don't have any clue if that would even be possible. The debris would probably go right through the magnet. The magnet would probably mess with their instruments and other satellites too, so I guess the plan for now is to just wait and hope they fall back to earth to burn up in the atmosphere. Even the space station needs thruster to control and maintain it's orbit. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/274.html On a side note, I don't know if this is true, (I would imagine it is) but I heard some satellites are equipped with thrusters for dodging and avoiding debris. Pretty interesting stuff, I've always been a big SCI-FI fan and reading up on this stuff kinda fuels that lol Anyway I think this post has turned into a private conversation so this will be my last post.

*coughEvacough* the ending was conclusive and satisfying
