I am totally amazed that the O-Rings on the ISS Cupola, (cup holder?) have held up with temperature changes 16 times a day from -250 to + 250 F for over 20 years... In my industrial experience dealing with vacuum O-Ring seals, never had anything come close to that kind of longevity... Sadly, no one has ever solved Newton's 3-Body Problem so it is difficult to get one's head around how the ISS avoids a face plant 16 times a day when it is in front of the imaginary solar orbit of the ball... I mean, it would only take the ball 14 seconds to reach the ISS when it ventures in front of the rapidly moving ball and in that time the ISS can only manage 70 miles distance in 14 seconds which is way short of the ball's girth of 12,000 miles.

Still, it is fortunate that the space glass holds up... My guess is that you got a defective pan and NASA most likely did special QC tests to insure the underwater, I mean space module glass would hold up. Perhaps there is a warranty?

so I just have to ask, if we can't get it up, out into space, how are the aliens getting in? Are they living on the other side of the Ice wall in unknown lands? Is the moon really reflecting these other lands? There's a book out that is making the rounds. I've been listening to it on scribd (now called Everand) It's called The Last Harvest... and it is scary AF. Crack pots are the least of our worries... if this book is true. Or Maybe those who N-ever A S-traight A-nswer do they give, are playing a trick on us, about space, and travel, and SIZE!!

OH OH OH, how could I forget this... or is ALL of it being Simulated, by Holographic technology?
