Day 22 cont 🗳️🖕🐧

“Traditionally safe seats are #flipping around the country, as voters put their hopes and dreams in independent and non-major party candidates.

But it takes more than just hopes and dreams to create a seismic political #shift that flies in the face of decades of voting history.

So what does it take for a #challenger to pose a real threat to a #SafeSeat?”

Idly reading about the #Challenger #SpaceShuttle explosion

....and I think I found a time traveler.

The previous several launch attempts were scrubbed for various reasons. The day before the launch:

"Monday was the next opportunity, but a screw failed to release from the crew hatch of the orbiter. A drill was ordered to be driven to the pad, but the battery was flat. ***Nine more batteries were sent to the pad, but all, for no apparent reason, became flat by the time they arrived at the launch pad.**" Time ran out and the launch attempt was scrubbed." [emphasis mine]

How does that happen? And how does someone, after changing a battery **4 times**, decide they need 5 more tried *using the same drill*?

Die Challenger-Expedition: die tiefste Meeresstelle der Welt
Die #Challenger-Expedition misst die tiefste bekannte Meeresstelle im #Mariannengraben. Ein Meilenstein in der #Meeresforschung und bahnbrechende Entdeckung am 23.03.1875.
Am 23. März 1875 dauert es, bis die zentnerschweren Gewichte des Mess-Schiffes im #Pazifik Bodenkontakt finden. Sie erreichen ihn bei 8.184 Metern. Das Meer ist dort so tief, dass der Mount Everest darin verschwinden könnte.

“I am mindful of the sacrifices of these astronauts,taught me an early lesson: we are mortal, we need to remember those who fell for..our country, human knowledge.I know that not many people will do anything about the 39th ann. explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. We are all distracted by another, very real crisis. But please think about these seven human beings who were beyond brave, because, like them, we need to be brave now.”
