Are you proposing that we fly the spacecraft back to earth, remove the instrument and send it out again? :smile:

From a mechanical point of view, that's correct. However, for high vacuum, you have a restricted choice of materials. You could use, e.g. plastic for a rought vacuum chamber, but not for a good vacuum because it outgasses like crazy. Mechanically, 15 psi is not hard to do. But as the vacuum...

Stephane Mallarmé said "To suggest is to create. To define is to kill." Why do you need the details to tell your story? Besides, the "giant flood" has been done before. Over 4000 years before.

It measures magnetic field, and properties of the incoming radiation. Everything else is switched off.

Modern journalism - never let facts get ih the way of a good story. I'm serious. I don't think anyone thought it was important to get the numbers right. At the risk of discussing content, the four-year contract for the NBA's #1 draft choice is approximately the same as the total annual WNBA...

This is making my head spin. Oops...again, wrong Regan.

If it's more important to sound like a drama queen or Bam-Bam Flintstone Rubble, so be it. If he wants to convince the adults to see things his way, I think he should try a different path.

Some things to consider. (1) 46 states require high school biology. The remaining 4 leave it to the local school districts who probably require biology. While you might be able to wriggle out of this particular class, the class it is replaced with will likely be similar. (2) "Wanna" is not...

Most of the precession, of course comes from other planets, and you need to know where (and when they are). But my point is that, sweeping that aside, a time-exposure of several orbits would be enough to show the effect - you don't need 88 days. It's been, um, many, many orbits of Mercury since...

The perihelion precision is a statement about orbital shape - rosette vs. ellipse. You don't need a clock to measure it. If you insist on a clock, the effect of "which clock" is of order a million time smaller than the effect you are trying to measure.

This page will let you listen to radio signals from quadrillions of miles away: https://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~pulsar/Education/Sounds/sounds.html

Oops...and the sun and the upper atmosphere.

OK, so lets try this. Why are neutrinos needed? Because we see them coming out of reactors, accelerators, radioactive sources and supernovae.

That's really pretty. It looks (and should look) quite blue. How accurate are the colors?

Here is what an outline looks like: 1. Introduction. 2. Major Point 1 A. Supporting evidence for Major point 1. B. Supporting evidence for Major point 1. C. Supporting evidence for Major point 1. ... 3. Major Point 2 A. Supporting evidence for Major point 2. B...
