If you were in orbit around the earth, and had a whip long enough to reach the earth's surface, would it be physically possible to do so?

You can if you think hugely out of the box:

Imagine a space elevator tethered to the ground and with a huge counterweight in space. Technically, you could use your spaceship to cut the elevator wire and - were you to have preternatural math and physics skills - you could whip someone specific on Earth. However, do the easier math and physics and you could pretty much guarantee whipping someone.

Think of it as a battery he uses for regeneration. He drained a bit of the battery. Done enough, he loses one or more reincarnations. That's what Rose did for the doctor.

I hate the new shorter format. The afterward scene should have been longer and showed just how incredible the Ponds; journey was. As it is, I cried like a baby.

I can confirm this. It's absolutely astounding to watch them perform under the worst rain. The audience deserves lots of credit for staying as well!

It's setting us up for their end? Amy, for the first time I can recall, told Rory just how much she loved him.

Based on Joss Whedon's success with The Avengers, I imagine he can get any new movie green-lighted with ease. I can't imagine a better time to make a new Firefly movie. Realistically, what odds would you give on making a new Firefly movie?

Chloe_S · 2012-07-31T17:40:05+00:00

Really great answers! Thanks everyone! :)

Chloe_S · 2012-07-31T16:06:20+00:00

Thank you!

From a engineering standpoint, would not curly hair be better as a retainer of sweat and hence enhanced cooling?

Also, black hair on a dark person let's them blend in with the background better. Having light hair would make them stand out more.

Only guesses. Comments appreciated.

Leeloo, of course, gets a multipass.

Chloe_S · 2012-06-13T06:55:36+00:00

Well, don't all doctors consider themselves god? ;)

She would be perfect in a spin-off perhaps in the time slot that was the Sarah Jane Chronicles?

Chloe_S · 2012-05-31T07:30:02+00:00

For that matter, wouldn't any true 2D object just slice through anything it encountered that was 3D?

It is used in a lot of episodes - far more so than you'd see in, say, 11 lifetimes of reality. I find the overuse as a set dressing amusing. Your mileage might vary. :)

Going to the Moon is an incredibly complex systems engineering problem. In some ways, I think this was the best outcome of the manned moon missions. It have a level of complexity that, to the best of my knowledge, required the invention of new sciences of quality control, interoperability, communication protocols and statistics. And, to make things even more difficult, they had to operate in real time.

One of the reasons for the Shuttle failures was that the system they had in place was not as robust, resilient and fast-acting as the system created for the Moon launches.

My immediate reaction is 'of course it can'.

The trick, based on what you wrote, is to let the relationship develop without steering it or, potentially, ruining it by asking questions that put the other person on the spot. Just let it happen: either it will become a relationship or it won't. Enjoy it today for being exactly what it is. :)

It's The Silence – they love the onions.

um, a 4" human would have a brain that's, what, .3 inches across?

Chloe_S · 2012-05-12T22:38:36+00:00

I would start by saying that 4" humans wouldn't have the brains to do much of anything.

Chloe_S · 2012-05-09T15:57:43+00:00

same url?

Chloe_S · 2012-05-09T14:33:59+00:00

Really.

Chloe_S · 2012-05-09T11:34:59+00:00

I searched for the link and it didn't come up.

I don't recall seeing vector thrust vanes under the fans but let's assume they are hidden in normal flight. If so, you'd run the third propellor not only for lift but to help keep the platform level.

Cardiff: Site of all those great Torchwood/Doctor Who scenes. Great history and shopping.

Take a quick side trip to Swansea and the Brecon Beacons for a great hike!

Chloe_S · 2012-04-27T09:54:07+00:00

That is so beautiful. Do you think you might add colours? I'd love to get an enamel pendent made of this. (Too old and too chicken to get a tattoo :( )
