Spread News About NASA Space Walks Jan 6 & 13

[Stavros Kiri]

What is the best way to spread the news in the forum about NASA's space walks? ... one today [Jan 6] (just ending) and one on Jan13 ... (Refer to NASA TV).

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Maybe mechanical engineering with an aerospace prefix.

That's a good idea. What about Astronomy and Astrophysics with the same prefix?

 

[Stavros Kiri]

BTW the two astronauts are just back in ISS after ~6hrs 12'. Next walk next Fri.

There is no aerospace prefix in the astronomy and astrophysics forum.

Spaceflight has always a been between the astronomy section (because it happens in space) and mechanical engineering (because it is about machines going to space). Other spaceflight-related threads are in mechanical engineering as well.

Ok. Thanks. (I haven't checked the prefixes yet.)

I'd say throw it in the Astronomy/Astrophysics forum.

Would it be accepted?

 

[Drakkith]

Would it be accepted?

I don't see why not. It's space related.

 

[Stavros Kiri]

Ok, thanks Drakkith. I will probably decide tomorrow between the two.

 

[Stavros Kiri]

I just put it in Astronomy/Astrophysics a few minutes ago.

Do screen shots work on PF?

They should. You'd just upload them like any other picture.

 

[Stavros Kiri]

They should. You'd just upload them like any other picture.

But sometimes they do not open for others ...

If there's an error with the forum software then you'd have to take that up with Greg. In the meantime, you can upload the picture somewhere else on the web and insert it using a link.

I haven't tried yet, but generally, I think, screen-shots have problems (once the original photo file and app is absent). We'll see. Thanks Drakkith!

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you having a problem with people viewing the image after you uploaded it? Or is the image itself often wrong? Or what?

Sometimes both

 

[Stavros Kiri]

Of course this would have been also great in

mechanical engineering with an aerospace prefix

because truly a lot of machinery there (in ISS, in the videos and live-streaming etc.) ! ...
They even used robotics to help achieve the mission/tasks ...

Odd...
I think that's something you should take up with Greg if it continues.

It might be that the problem was with one of my devices. I am checking ...
