    Cuz then it would cost us all about $23,000 to fly anywhere since they'll say it costs x amount more LOL. Somehow the first flight would go horribly wrong too just because they say its indestructable... anybody remember the "unsinkable" Titanic?

    that shit would be probably too damn heavy to fly if it was made with that material?

    It was slightly larger than your average ice cube but it was still ice.

    Im sure tests have been done and there is a reason planes are made out of what they are made of, its just one of those questions that makes you wonder. Heres another one...If a space ship is traveling at the speed of light and it turns its headlights on, will the people inside see the lights??

    I think it's just cheaper to form aluminum and steel than the black-box material stuff is...that and material cost, as stated...dude who made that material for black boxes is a friggin' copywritten rich fuck.

    depends on how much faster than teh speed of light they are going and where teh lights are positioned

    when you shoot a cannon in space strapped to the front of a moving space ship that is not under power the velocities of the cannon ball will be greater than that of thw ship but it will also slow the ship down...


    there for light emited from headlights (energy) would slow down the spaceship enough so that the combined speed of the light would alow it to be visible if there was a median present... but since in space there is not a median present no you cannot see the lights... what happens when they turn the light on on the space ship now..... no median so no way of perceiving the light as visible....

    You wouldnt be able to fly it. Maybe once technology advances and our engines get stronger/lighter

    So basically, you wouldn't see it?

    way to go capt obvious de de deeeeee

    i know that but it depends if you can even see the headlights when your not goin the speed of light, the actual light bulbs not where they project

    So basically you're suggesting that a headlight can cause a recoil effect on a fucking spaceship?

    ALL THAT WOULD MEAN IS IF THE PLANE CRASHED IT WOULDNT BE HURT AT ALL BUT THE PASSENGERS WOULD LOOK LIKE A PILE OF SPAM INSTEAD OF FRIED CHCIKEN.

    why wouldnt you be able to see the light if you're inside, inertia motherfuckers

    that light is moving the speed of light plus the speed of the ship, you're moving the speed of the ship... remove that and you're seeing the light inside... just like if you were to throw a ball to someone inside... if its going at a constant speed then you're good

    Hes got the right idea, I was just seeing how long it would take somebody to figure that out.
