Kenzi 146 Report post Posted December 2, 2014 On 12/2/2014 at 3:51 AM, Meitantei Kiddo said: Yeah, title misleading. It's a media psychology really. Make a title that will make person curious, even if it's misleading. Well, the point of the article is to make people aware that the rumors are fake. Who knows? There might be a guest visiting here thinking that it's real and he accidentally clicked my link. The title should have said something about debunking the rumor because the current title and article completely contradict itself. People can be really gullible these days. This is about as real as the supposed zombie apocalypse that was going to happen a few years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirsch 95 Report post Posted December 4, 2014 In Tech. Ed., we're launching model rockets and learning how to calculate their height using an Altitrack backed with math formulas. It's cool to see them fly like that, but we're always late to lunch T-T ... Yeah, I'll make a great scientist someday :V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's this plastic gun-shaped thingy that lets you measure the angle of something. I think "Altitrack" is the name of the company though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You aim it at the object you're trying to find the height of, and release the trigger for the pendulum to stop swaying and fix on an angle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correction, I actually remembered: I just wasn't paying enough attention to know what was going on. Wasn't a big deal, I think. Just an unmanned test flight for future orbits around the moon and eventually Mars. Don't quote me on this, unless you trust a teenage boy to actually correctly recall his dinner news on the spot.

Still going to quote you anyway :VAnyway, is it Orion that you're talking about? It's the only NASA spacecraft in the news and they mentioned how it aims to one day out a man in Mars, but it seems it was just recovered, as opposed to being launched.

It was launched then recovered. It was a test flight to check if the components are working as it should be (especially the heat shield). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
