Jake Diecast but just too help you out. Here are some webpages that may be of use to you. https://allsensors.com/bl...y%20any%20water.

Maybe next time before trying to correct someone, who was informing another, you should do your own research, that would prevent you from looking so ignorant. Space is NOT a perfect vacuum, because there is in fact pressure, it is just minuscule and doesn’t amount to much, but it is still there. It’s amazing what google, and reading comprehension can get you. Because if you actually read my comment (which you obviously didn’t) you would see the number, which is the pressure in space, then you would see where I said it was essentially zero. I am so sorry that you have such a difficult time understanding basic English, I do hope that these web pages out of the hundreds that speak about pressure in space do help enlighten you on the topic.


Megan Ross what people forget is, someone has to build ever bit of the equipment that is used in these projects. They all get paid.
Non-government people working to build something. Computers, programmers, science and mechanical design…they all have to eat, live someplace…it isn’t magic and the systems just show up…everything has to be invented, designed and built. None of it is done by war profiteers. All for the simple fact of wanting to do it. The beautiful part of it all…we will all benefit from this one day. All the advancements will translate into faster travel, and things we may not even think about today.

The thousands of people working on this can feed their families and in turn pay for services that pay others. The big picture is much more than rich people taking a joy ride.


To those comparing this to what happened at the Titanic last week: there's no comparison. Man's future is not 16,000 feet below the surface of the ocean. Man's future is in the stars or in the near future, the solar system we live in. The risks taken to go upward and outward are totally worth it. The way mankind is going, this planet is going to be mostly uninhabitable sooner rather than later. Colonizing places like the Moon and Mars are inevitable and if private industry is willing to spearhead that exploration more power to them. The Titanic: a fool's errand. The Stars: Mankind's future.


Think about death, think that one day you will go away and you will leave the earth to return to your father, And you will leave your beautiful house, your beautiful car and your clothes, your friends and your parents. On that day you will be alone, before the Lord's tribunal, you will answer his questions and there will be no more husband and no more wife but you alone.

Think about death because one day you will go away, one day this beautiful body will be the departure for him and then you will go towards the path of the earth and you will not come back because it will be your last trip. And you will be there before the Judgment Seat of Christ and you will have to give an account for your life on earth. And your husband will not be there and your wife will no longer be, your cars and your beautiful houses, everything will be over but JESUS ​​IS COMING BACK.
