Tiger Goes for Meals on Wheels



These guys were very lucky- lucky that a powered bike can go faster than a charging tiger! They were riding near Nagarhole National Park in Karnataka, India, which is also a tiger reserve. This footage was taken on a phone, but we believe it was attached to the rider's helmet; otherwise, he would have dropped it. When a discussion of the video turned to insurance and legal claims, redditor C12 was inspired to sketch a picture.



You must admit that the tiger in the courtroom looks as well-fed as he is well-dressed. -via Digg

Honestly Alex, I have no idea. You would think that there would be a hole the size of Michigan there. Is there a geologist in the house? An astrophysicist maybe?

A little help here?

Bueller?

in 1990, Robert Alan Haag, one of the biggest trades of meteorites of the world, tried to steal the second largest meteorite of the world from Chaco, Argentina. He mounted a huge operation to lift and move this 37 ton piece and take it to the U.S.

The Apollo Lunar missions were sent into a figure 8 reverse lunar orbit so they would return to Earth orbit w/o interference.

They had to brake to get into a Lunar orbit. They had to boost to get out of lunar orbit. They had to brake for Earth re-entry. I heard it called a "mail slot"; 40mi wide X 5mi high they had to hit. Too low and heat built faster than speed slowed and they would burn up. Too high and they would not slow down enough and wind up dying in Earth orbit.

There is video taken in the last 30 years showing a fairly massive object over Canada vaporizing/shedding mass but still "ricocheting" off the atmosphere.

The Hoba meteorite would have made a 100-200M hole if it had come straight in. It came in at a small angle and slowed to suborbital velocity. Considering its mass(estimated) and density; it could have touched ground at hundreds if not thousands of mph bounced hundreds of miles before coming to rest.

PS. I don't think it's going to float even if it rains lots more...
