Also at 4600m, there’s half the amount of air compared with sea level (about 500hPa), so the atmosphere is a lot thinner over us, thus a darker blue. Space officially starts 96km higher (and the sky color is completely dark then).
The nerdy comment of the day 🙂
Yeah except that the reliability of the first launches at SpaceX is far from reaching their marketing skills! The reliability of Mr Musk is also not quite optimal (his stupid submarine in Thailand…). We’re fine staying on earth!
]]>You two appear to be ready to take on the challenge of biking on the lunar and Martian surfaces – – I should send a note to Elon Musk telling him about the two ‘cyclostronauts’, that are in great physical shape and ready to board a Space X and take on another new challenge! Cheers to the cyclostronauts!
]]>There’s still traffic jams here, but usually because people have decided that the best parking lot is the middle of the road…
]]>Hehe, well we did see a few trees around Dushanbe and some orchards in Uzbekistan (lots of grapes, I guess that still counts as a tiny tree!). But now that we are getting deeper into Uzbekistan, it’s also becoming a desert…it looks like we won’t see a forest for another 2000km!
