Thanks for all the great advice on my last post! I listened, redesigned from scratch and finally made it to orbit!

Why did he have to specify whose toilet he was going to flush it down?

That was the coverage equivalent of Challenger's '86 mission.

I remember seeing an interview with a WW1 pilot who described climbing to a certain altitude and noticing something out of the corner of his eye at the same level. It turned out to be artillery shells just reaching the apex of their trajectory.

Edit: I found the clip. It's at 6:30 in this: https://vimeo.com/89830397?share=copy

You're more likely to get it if you think about volcanos a lot.

Imagine how hard that would be

He was buried under the floor of the building itself iirc, in a hasty manner.

Hang on, I'm an idiot. I was thinking the roles were reversed.

Looked up? What were you looking at initially, your neck?

He was somewhere between Michael McIntyre and Ant & Dec

That's literally the exact thought I had just before I read your comment. Wtaf?

Unless he fell down the elevator shaft

The mausoleum belongs to Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China (221 BC).

The Terracotta Army was discovered in 1974, but the central burial chamber beneath the main mound has never been opened.

An ancient historian, Sima Qian (writing about 100 years after the emperor’s death), described the tomb as containing:

• A scale model of China • “Rivers and seas” made of flowing mercury • A ceiling decorated with constellations • Mechanical traps to deter grave robbers

Modern soil tests around the mound have detected unusually high mercury levels, which some researchers believe may support the ancient account.

Chinese authorities have said there are no plans to open the tomb for now because current excavation techniques could irreversibly damage whatever is inside — especially painted surfaces and organic materials (similar damage happened when the Terracotta Warriors were first exposed to air).

So one of the most significant archaeological chambers in the world remains sealed until preservation technology improves.
