Definitely on topic as it is music.

However, from a stage that no other musician has performed from or on. (At least to the best of my knowledge)

So I wonder what a good bit of brass playing would sound like in space?
You up for it Mac?

Hell no. *grin*

But if the environment is about the same gas ratios as here and at standard temperature and pressure, I'd expect any musical instrument to sound very much the same as it sounds here.

I'd love to do it, but I'd also love to see the look on the loadmasters face, when I hauled in my boat-anchor pedal steel :-)

They'd probably have to put on a few extra tons of fuel too!

It's one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on the Internet, to be perfectly honest!

I'd love to do it too!

An old Sci-Fi fan like me would be livin' a dream.

Too bad we can't combine the two threads on this.

Or can PG do that?? Inquiring minds want to know. wink

I've had the exquisite privilege of flying with Bob Lutz a couple of times, once each in his Albatross LR-39 and another in his Alpha Jet, and in the Alpha Jet, he said that in a couple turns we were pulling around 5.5 Gs.

I had a gauge set in front of me. Honestly, I was trying to keep from crapping my pants and clenching my leg and stomach muscles to keep from passing out - I don't know how else to put it - to pay attention to what the gauges were saying.

I don't know how fighter jet pilots do it. When I flew with Bob, he was 74+ years old and he was talking through the whole flight, except in those real hi-G maneuvers. Talked through them like they were brain stem activity, which maybe they are for him.

I honestly thought I was going to die a couple times in both flights, but with a big old smile on my face. A smile of terror. Does that make sense?

I can see how someone could get addicted to the thrill like he is. He's so addicted that he's laid out major coin for these planes and to have them maintained and ready to fly. The LR-39 didn't cost him much more than a high-dollar sports car. He never told me how much he paid for the Alpha Jet. The LR-39 had the feeling of a kit-car, but smooth. The turns in the Alpha Jet were gut-wrenching. I at least remembered to bring my camera on that flight! However, trying to hold it up high enough to get good shots during turns is a real challenge when your arms are so heavy! I'll post some of the choice shots on my Imageshack account. Can't imagine sustaining those Gs for long enough to escape falling to earth gravity.

Those experienced pilots, after the first couple hundred hours or so, become immune to the effects.

Take a good look at the wrinkles around the old man's eyes, my friend. Those are G-lines.

In my case, other health-related issues, plus the fact that I'm more content to sit behind a keyboard than a dashboard, caused me to turn in my ticket. That and its just too darned expensive if Uncle Sam ain't payin' for it.

Hee Hee! http://www.thebeaverton.com/hadfield-comes-home-to-1-37-million-rogers-phone-bill.html##

So nobody is mislead into going off on a rant about this article link - it's a clever spoof as are other articles on the Beaverton website. I originally posted it as I thought it was in context of the cool video that was posted regarding Hadfield, I thought that the spoof was relevant and would continue the topic. I'm not sure I would have liked to go into space - at least not the hard work that had to have been required to even be considered. Just being honest with that comment.

I'll add his name to my list of proofs that yanker-bankers simply aren't the smart dudes that common knowledge assumes they're supposed to be.

This is a hoot.

Um, feed the monkey, Hadfield...

I have to say that the Beaverton folks had me fooled for just a minute. First time I read The Onion, same thing happened to me.

The trouble with sites like The Onion and The Beaverton is they cause some folks to:

(1). Make fools of themselves by believing something that isn’t true.

(2). Causes others to spread false info.

That kind of takes the “LOL” out of it for me Scott.

It is imperative to learn how to ID Noise and Ground Static and also to learn how to ignore same.

That's because the Noise and Ground Static will ALWAYS be present.

Bob,

I hear you. The problem is, the evening news whether right, centrist or left leaning does exactly the same thing.

I get equally mad about the misinformation spread by talking heads on Fox News as I do listening to Amy Goodman & cohorts on Democracy Now on NPR.

So, to me, these sites/publications that basically poke fun at folks' willingness to believe anything put in front of them as long as it aligns with their pre-conceptions is refreshing.

Anyways, I really didn't want to go down that path - but I think that's why sites like the Onion and this Beaverton site exist.

I will edit my post so that people know it's a joke.

Here is a cool outcome from Hadfield's video: Larrivée guitars has seen a huge bump in orders from the publicity from the video.

http://www.vancouversun.com/touch/story.html?id=8416048

I got to meet Jean Larrivée back in about 2003 when I was doing some work in LA area - drove north to Oxnard (where their US manufacturing is located) to see about the remote chance of getting a tour.

Jean and one other employee were there. I got a great tour of the place and it only further increased my fanaticism for this maker.

Way to go Larrivée and Hadfield.

-Scott
