Skyjester 0 #52 December 24, 2007 Quote Imagination without knowledge = just imagination Skyjester, trust me, you can have tons of imagination, but without at least 1% of understanding u would not move far in the field were Albert was expert. even less than 0,0000002 % decent educated humans now days barely understand what Albert was about.... Robert, in this subject I trust you completely. Of course we need lots of understanding to support our imagination. For example: My fastest fall from a bike on purpose (ok, maybe I got brain damage from that ) was at 80 mph. I know to land a wingsuit is not that easy and I don´t know how to do it, yet - but I know how I can find out. I like to read you measure "imagination" in tons, so you know "light" and even "time" got weight. In the theoretic experiment "Schrödinger´s kitten" we see how "imagination" can kill a cat- maybe it works the other way around, also: "imagination" save a wingsuit-pilot btw. I like your icon V2 (A4- rocket) the V2 means "Vergeltungswaffe2" (=revenge weapon2)- you probably know that I just finished the first stage of a propulsion rocket system ("V3") to power my wingsuit flights. I use components of the V2 technology. Up to now- great fun!don´t pester the jester . . or better: WHY SO SERIOUS ? ? www.pralle-zeiten.de Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They surely engineered the most funny puppet show ever created! Astronaut jumps and salutes flag Astronaut and dust obviously move at different g's. Dust - some of which is launched up with the same speed as astronaut - should land simultaneously with him, yet we can see it's all gone by the time he reaches the apex. That's because the dust is not suspended by strings. That's also why you never see them do big jumps - the difference in g's would be too apparent. The reason they appear to be moving like puppets, stand up after falling with center of gravity apparently outside of support (25s mark in this video) like puppets, is... because they ARE puppets on strings!Android+Wear/iOS/Windows apps: L/D Vario, Smart Altimeter, Rockdrop Pro, Wingsuit FAP iOS only: L/D Magic Windows only: WS Studio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robibird 2 #56 December 24, 2007 yuri, looks like it is fashion to believe in conspiracy, especially when you have no other prove than lame amater chit- chat stories. it would be in the best soviet interest to prove the US conspiracy back then in '60s.Robert Pecnik [email protected] www.phoenix-fly.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
