I was awoken this morning at about seven o' clock by a very nice hailstorm. Big bits of hail, making lots of noise on the street as they fell. Best hailstorm since I was a child, probably.
I was thinking about spacecraft, and the things they carry; these machine are incredibly intricate, with minute scope for innacuracy. Given that a craft or machine is tested on earth, why does the movement into a place where there is much less gravity and much less pressure not cause the components of these finely-tuned machines to reposition slightly, thus affecting their operational ability?
I might make porridge tonight. It's been so long since I ate porridge that I can't actually remember what it tastes like, or if it's nice.
