QUOTE (JRehling @ Nov 8 2007, 06:21 AM)  Now, yes, but Apollo got its start 40+ years ago, OT, but I just realized tomorrow's the 40th anniversary of Apollo 4 launch, the first Saturn V flight. Has it been that long? -------------------- |

Speaking of biomaterials, fats, fatty acids and glycerine could be used as a heat absorber for a venus lander, the density difference between these liquids and their solids is minimal and they have high melting points (around room temp), also they would not be to corrosive or conductive, so bathing the electronics and instruments in them would not be that bad.
