How do you keep the ISS stable in orbit?

what do they actually even do up there?
i now i'm being ignorant and that they probably do a lot of great stuff but we never specifically hear about any of it
there's never been a news story like "bananas made of jam invented on ISS! astronaut Jamforbrains gets nobel for being awesome!"
Rofl..
He's probably involved in various zero gravity experiments up there, acting as proxy on behalf of people on earth who come up with new questions as to what happens if you do this in zero gravity. I don't know the specific purpose of the ISS unfortunately, but i suspect your question is a bit like asking "Why are you looking through this telescope at the moon?"
And the answer is, who the hell knows what you'll find? Why did we sail around the world and discover new countries, new species of animal.. why do we still search for new species? Why do we test those species of plant and animal to see what they do, what they're made of, what properties they have? Why step outside of our front door?
Because if we didn't, we'd never have invented the wheel or mastered fire.
Imagine how much shit we've found in our own oceans that we didn't know about a few hundred years ago. Imagine what we've done with that new knowledge.
Can you possibly begin to imagine the sort of shit we might find out there in space, which is infinitely bigger than our ocean?
Imagine if you'd asked marie curie why she was messing around with a luminous material? "Did you make a banana made of this new material? Stop wasting your time!" And we've just lost the x-ray machine.
Cmon, man.. that sort of question depresses me.. of all the amazing things we've found out through stargazing, through expeditions into space (the hubble deep field picture, to me, is worth all the money on earth) the one thing that would validate such a trip, to you, is a fucking jam banana?
Hugh Laurie is "all man" on Blackadder
Hugh Laurie was hilarious. Anyone know what he's up to these days?
Oof....
Yeah smugglarn, you're right. I have ALWAYS hated mr. bean. Blackadder, however, is occasionally can't-breathe-funny.
Atheism commercial
"I want your land" / "We deserve this land/asset"
"These people are responsible for our ills"
"We are better than these people" / "They aren't people"
"2000 years ago, this guy insulted this other guy's mother" / "No, he insulted OUR mother!"
"They started it"
Sometimes we must go to war because OTHER PEOPLE are ignorant/selfish, and we are left with no recourse. But this is still a war caused by ignorance/selfishness.
What causes war is ignorance and selfishness, where most religions TEACH ignorance, and are motivated by selfishness.

TED: Finding the supermassive blackhole in our galaxy
Like she said...she still didn't get it down to the schwarzschild radius. Either their model for black holes is wrong, or there isn't a black hole there.
Like she said, there are imperfections in the tools they are using. In her own words, correcting the atmospheric imperfections will allow us to see stars closer still than those we can see, meaning more mass, meaning closer to the radius. And who is to say we'll ever be able to see everything that is at the centre? Who's to say the means of correction don't provide false positives or negatives - if i corrected an image of a pebble under a stream, would i see 1 pebble, 2 pebbles, or half a pebble, and if i could never put my hand in and check, how would i know the truth? We'd need more and powerful telescopes outside our own atmosphere. What about the masses of objects that we don't yet know about that we have to identify through means other than direct observation? Yes?
God damn but her voice was annoying. Great video though.

'Accidental' Download Sending Guy To Prison
I remember it being very complicated to investigate because of this.
We were also told, however, that whilst images were an implication of something, it wasn't necessarily the end of the story. It was a full investigation, not simply a hunt for pictures/videos/whatever. We had to identify how the pictures came to be, establish intent, etc.
That's in england though. But i find it very difficult to believe that a computing forensics investigative team in any country would forego all of this, find one picture, but not bother to find where it came from (it could have been put onto his pc by someone else), and send him to jail based on this.

Cannabis Treats Autistic Ten Year Old Child

LOL ^
Also, why has she built an outdoor cage for her autistic son?
Is that a serious question? The same reason you would put up a baby in a playpen. If the kid can't walk because he's that severely mentally handicapped but you want him to be able to be outside alone and not have to worry about him drowning himself what would you do ?
Is that a serious question?
Move to a house without a pool and use something less severe than metal bars.

4-way Auto-Mario: Queen (Don't Stop Me Now)
It would be about 2 minutes of whirly noises interspersed with barely identifiable upward scale progressions which happen to occur every so often in "Don't Stop Me Now".
Feels like i'm over analysing, but shit - you started it by attacking my opinion with an answerable question!
