    What have I done, the model has generated a great debate about space gravity and astrophiics well you guys know what I mean, as for the gravity thing I would think if they have mastered how to travel faster than light, beam across vast distances in transporters. Then the gravity thing would have been an easy fix for all the space guys, have you ever noticed they never seem to go to the bathroom for a comfort break in space maybe they have invented something for that to. As for me thanks for the great comments I just love to build and let my old brain go mad.

    regards Barrie (the old guy ) by the Jim what is that strange stuff your drinking ?

      I would hate to puncture the sci fi bubbles out there but I could never figure out how they managed to tackle the zero gravity problem
      Alien, et al, they all seem to walk about in their ships as if on Earth......what am I missing?

      JIM they say you can make your own gravity by spinning the spacecraft to create centifugall force I think im goin mad as well :nerd::smiling:

        Nothin' new there baz! They never go to the loo in any old films, and if they do in a new film it's only 'cos they want to show our hero smashing a sink with the villains head!

          Yes you can. Centrifugal/centripetal - take your pick which word you choose to use, I ain't goin' to start that argufyment here! _ force is equivalent to a gravity field. Some space ships are shown nowadays with spinning bits.

            Hmmmm... maybe some sort of centrifugal force hi speed chamber centrally located so as to give a pseudo magnetic force combined with specially
            constructed suits with micro metallic fibers to react to artificial gravitational force.
            UH OH!!...wait a sec......no.... that only left one with his spleen now an integral part of his face :surprised:
            Oh well...back to the drawing board :rolling:

              Much easier to have Velcro carpets and Velcro soles on your shoes!
