Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Hmmm ...

On a eu quelques soucis pour trouver un avion qui permet de faire un entraînement à Gravité 0. Que c'est pas facile de trouver des avions qui permettent ça. Mais on a réussit juste à temps ! Notre équipe est donc partie dans de bonnes conditions.

Qu'est-ce que c'est un avion qui fait gravité 0 ? Pour chaque appareil, il y a une trajectoire parabolique (comme la fonction x² en maths, sauf que ça serait avec un moins et un coefficient pour adoucir la courbe). Si on suit cette trajectoire, pendant quelques secondes, en haut, on est en apesanteur. (Sur le petit avion que j'ai piloté, ça dure 2/3 secondes, quand on y arrive. Sur des avions prévus pour, avec des pilotes entraînés, ça peut durer plus de 30 secondes)

Appolo 11, vous allez passer derrière la Lune. On va perdre le contact, mais on est là !

----------

We had some trouble finding a plane that allows you to practice Gravity 0. It's not easy to find planes that allow this. But we succeeded just in time! Our team left in good conditions.

What is a plane that is 0 gravity? For each device, there is a parabolic trajectory (like the function x² in maths, except that it would be with a minus and a coefficient to soften the curve). If we follow this trajectory, for a few seconds, at the top, we are weightless. (On the small plane that I piloted, it lasts 2/3 seconds, when we get there, on planes planned for, with trained pilots, it can last more than 30 seconds)

Appolo 11, you will go behind the moon. We will lose contact, but we are here!

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

We just left the outpost on the Moon, little brother.
Our whisky forms balls in our cabin - we cannot drink it
We are still on our top40.nl 2.0 trek - it lasts for the entire month of July.
It takes place here top40.nl
You have been here and earned your badge, but a revisit would be fine.
We lead the Small Team Race, and your help will probably make sure we will keep that position.

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Good Morning Base Campers!
What a wonderful photo you took of our Captain adriverhoef, stefada.
I'll pin it up next to the picture of the Dizzy Man's Band
We have the pleasure of tanner2 smile rejoining the trek just as we had left the Moon.
How he got onboard, only he can tell ... and I hope he will. Maybe others will try biggrin
We are in front of team Andrax in three out of four active challenges now!
I hope we'll have a smooth ride.
I went ahead - I'll not tell how - because I'm - because someone from the class of 1962 is going to show me that
oops! frigate PESK in naval lingo.
It's right to the right of me in front of the characteristic old mast crane building
... on th S**t Island side of Copenhagen Harbor.
There will be some specially packaged whisky behind the earth camera wink
