Re: AMSAT-NA totally metric?
The REALLY important question: Does a woman who lies about her weight suffer from mass delusion?

Are you really weightless in space? Surely you're just in free fall. When the term "weightless" is used to describe the condition astronauts experience, this is surely a literary term, rather than a scientific one.
As it turns out, the answer is "yes" or "no". It depends on your frame of reference and the definition you use. Using the definition that weight is the force exerted by gravity, then one would presume at a point near the Earth - Moon L1 point, you would be very nearly weightless (there would be some unbalanced gravitational influence of the Sun most of the time, but you could move around and null that out too...).

Does a man who lies about their assets suffer from mass confusion?

I usually have a high tolerance for this, but "off-topic" does not begin to describe what this thread has become.
Thanks to the clutter, I'm leaving the list.

As in the life some came to life and they they died. That's a cycle like it or not. It is an interlude in this cycle to take a break while waiting for real sats news. As we all know as soon as the next HEO will be on the verge to be launch we will have real stuff to discuss, in the mean time we can only dream about astronauts floating and making free fall dreams in zero gravity.
Don't worry be happy.
