  1. Science supporting different perceptions of audio tones. The article talks about Psychoacoustics and human perceptions of different audio frequencies.
  2. This is a good idea for a cheap way to deaden sound.
  3. Images saved. They'll definitely come in handy as I'm pretty sure this is the only way I'm going to find to replace these lines.
  4. So around December my ZX started on fire while I was driving it, I had it towed back to my garage and I've been working on it in my spare time. I've fixed the fuel leak, cleaned up most of the damage, and replaced all the wiring that was damaged. Unfortunately for me just about all my vacuum lines and a few other lines were old and were utterly destroyed in the fire and I have no idea what goes where. Is there a schematic available for these lines? I searched here and zcar but didn't find any information, I also checked the FSM and Hayne's but found nothing. I asked the local Z specialty shop here in San Diego for help and they're going to contact me if they find anything, so if they do I'll post it here. Thanks for your time guys.
  5. Looks nice, I wish I could say that my ST4 was still my DD but I'm in the Altima most days since I need to drop the kid off at daycare.
  6. I was wondering the same thing and have been told that most 'except 2+2' sets work just fine on a 2+2. I haven't tried it yet though so I could be easily misinformed.
  7. I know about the ISS, but it's not what I was talking about. I'm talking about a production/maintenance facility. But I like the idea of using an asteroid, I guess I'm still stuck in the idea that there aren't that many out there near earth orbit but I know better than that.
  8. You'd get the materials into space the same way that we get materials into space right now, we'd have to use the current inefficient model in order to create the structure for an efficient model. As far as cabin fever, I've spent about 90 days out to sea stuck in a damn ship with no port calls, living in a shared berthing where my private space is about the size of a large coffin. With "comfortable" living spaces, small amounts of privacy, and a good internet connection it would be easy to spend 3-6 months in space, the biggest hurdle for a healthy crew would be living in low gravity. This could be handled by creating a large rotating cylindrical station where the berthing/everyday activities are on the outer walls while all the 'heavy' lifting could be done in the center which would still be a low gravity area. As far as location I'd put the maintenance/cleanup about 1,000 miles out, the launch station about 48,000 miles out.
  9. Ok, well that gives me a better understanding of your plan. I thought you were suggesting sending infants into space and frankly that's insane.
  10. I think that space travel is in severe need of an infrastructure. Our current method of launching satellites into orbit and sending astronauts to service them is pretty 1950s in the area of civic planning. What I'd like to see is an orbital station that is designed for the production and maintenance of orbital vehicles, which could also act as a stepping stone to another station, farther out in orbit that would be our inter-planetary vehicle launch station. This would alleviate a lot of the difficulties we're having in trying to design the 'swiss army knife' space vehicle, and we could focus on creating specialized and efficient transportation.
  11. Definitely a novel idea, but the possibility of something like that happening anytime soon, much less from the US, is pretty small. I imagine there won't be too many major strides made in space travel until there's a commercial drive for the industry. It seems that all the government is really interested in has been research satellites. Not to mention the media's need to sensationalize everything means that anything that puts a person in danger, especially babies, would have all sorts of retards up in arms against your plan. Plus all those morons that think that spending money on space rather than giving food to some kid in Africa or India.... ok, I need to stop and calm down. I think that we would be most successful for the time being sending out automated vessels designed to create and harvest some basic necessities in preparation of a manned mission. But I think your idea is cool, even though I have some reservations as to the practicality and the general purpose of terraforming one of Saturn's moons.
  12. I saw mine in the backyard of my Fiance's Grandmother's house, she lives in Bakersfield and it was sitting against a fence in the middle of a big patch of sand. I asked about it and found out she bought it as a gift for her son a few years back from the original owner. Her son never did anything with it so I asked to buy it. a couple weeks later I towed it back to San Diego and I've just been performing a tune up on it so I can get it running better than it already was. All I have left is fluids, timing, and replacing some vacuum lines. It's a desert car so it has practically no rust, actually the only rust is on the battery seat, and it needs new suspension and she'll run like a brand new '79 280zx. I have the original title and all the stickers under the hood are clean and still there. I love this car. Oh yeah, I'm 24
  13. I think its different lighting that did that. Pretty car but not worth 25k.
