100 Things I Learned from Sunshine
Can't believe this thread is missing...
1) Extreme light therapy makes your body a vessel for a homicidal god and gives you superhuman strength and some weird cloaking ability.
2) If your precious garden catches fire you weep like a baby.
3) Duct tapped insulation makes for one hell of an improvised space suit.
4) A rotating antenna array can't be shutdown (stopped from spinning) to prevent burning up outside of the sunshield's protection.
5) If there's a fire in a sealed room, you can't vent the oxygen to space put it out, but flooding the room with pure O2 will do the trick.
6) You can perform an orbital slingshot operation by orbiting Mercury several times.
7) An advanced AI computer can't predict the trajectory of your payload beyond 45% accuracy.
8) Fissile material can restart fusion reaction in the Sun.
9) If you spend too much time in the video confession room, expect a beat down.
10) If you spend all your time focused on fuel loads and velocities you'll forget to adjust the sunshield and the only way to redeem such an offense is to hara-kiri yourself.
11) An advanced AI computer failed to parameter check the trajectory adjustments prior to applying them. And, it can't simply reorient the ship to lie in the shield shadow.
12) Waves make me peaceful.
13) 4% will blind you, but 3.1% is good for 30 seconds.
