If a rocket exerts 10 lbs of force on a shuttle, or an astronaut does, it makes no difference. The shuttle barely moved because it has a lot of mass. Mass is still relevant in space. The bigger the Dreadnaught is, the more force required to move it, even though any minimal force will technically still move it an equally minimal amount and it won't ever stop.
Let's take two of your rockets. I'll put mine on the back of the shuttle, and you put yours on the Dreadnaught. Which one of us is going to go faster? We'll both move infinitely, but I'll be doing it a lot faster than you.

I agree mass is still relevant, but you said it yourself, the ship moved. That's all I stated, with very little force the shuttle will move. Your desired acceleration will depend on amount of force required. On earth (or any other planet) vs. in space, the difference of force required is much less in space.

Fair enough. Would you like to weigh in on the Bill Nye issue as well?

Did I just watch an episode of Bill Nye? Because it feels like it.
-
LMAO. Any idea why the news continuously has him on to talk about how every storm is related to global warming? Is there any way it could be more obvious that they're just about ratings not news? Also, this video of a CNN anchor asking if meteors are caused by global warming: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHYkQdAr5U[/url]

You mean....they're not!?!? Seriously though, news anchors and US politicians are a bunch of buffoons. Or they're constantly trolling us, I can never decide. I like Bill Nye, not a real scientist but his knows some stuff. I particularly enjoyed him when he was brought in over "deflategate".

The part of "deflategate" I enjoyed was changing the channel. I can't tell you how little I care about Tom Brady's balls. Not an NFL fan (grew up in Jax, so even when I tried to be...) and definitely not a Patriots fan. Even when I'm interested, I think our news coverage is just way over the top repeating itself and beating a dead puddle that used to be a horse.

Edited by Renovatio K: 9/11/2015 7:54:32 PMNot a football fan either, but I caught that video. We'll make a scandal out of anything though. Some say our favorite part time is baseball, but it's definitely dead horse beating. Edit: past time not part time. No economic jokes here.
