    Metro de Madrid

    http://www.metromadrid.es

    Quite good, I use it almost everyday, very useful to move in Madrid, where traffic is always awful

    As keltic has said before, a very strong reaction, lead by university students. Here in Madrid the police is working hard against the protests.
    It´s really weird to find 4 police vans in the front of your college.

    Regards

    RE: figaro

    That´s not fair, european subsidies aren´t a way of directing other countries foreign policies, but a development help from the rich countries which want to have wealthy neighbours.

    RE: Earth re-entry problems

    Well, the fact is that when in orbit you have to go fast (in order to maintain altitude). If you reduce yor tangential speed, you will have a bigger vertical speed, which will produce friction problems in a descent too.
    So the friction problems appears to be unavoidable for me, unless a way of eliminating the air in front of the vehicle is developed, but this sound as a sci-fi story.

    RE: Shuttle lost (blows up?) on re-entry

    Firstly, my condolences

    Geforce:
    I guess the russians will do the vital flights to the ISS, they can take people to and from the station but maybe they won´t be able to take big cargo. So, are the russians ships able to support (I mean, food, water, oxygen, fuel) the ISS? I don´t know, maybe they´ll have to abandon the station until the shuttle fleet return.

    RE: Shuttle lost (blows up?) on re-entry

    From the FoxNews website:

    ——–
    On launch day, a piece of insulating foam on the external fuel tank came off during liftoff and was believed to have struck the left wing of the shuttle.

    Leroy Cain, the lead flight director in Mission Control, had assured reporters Friday that engineers had concluded that any damage to the wing was considered minor and posed no safety hazard.

    RE: Shuttle lost (blows up?) on re-entry

    Very sad news, I´m still shocked. This will be very bad for the ISS and other manned space projects.
