Is there anything bigger than outer space?

Questions by e-mail
However, the one comment I'd make is is that the crucial thing is ensuring that you generate the CMB while being in very good thermal equilibrium. This is typically quite hard to arrange in "local" or "recent" ideas for producing the photons. It is of course one of the triumphs of the standard hot Big Bang picture that if you assume the Universe was once as hot as the surface of a typical star and has been expanding since then, you naturally get a blackbody spectrum.

Will we find life in outer space?

Dispensational Bible Institute
both this century and this millennium come to a close, many attempts will be made at listing the most significant events of both. One event, Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon, will undoubtedly be on all the lists, whether for the last one hundred years or the last one thousand. Let us flip the coin over, and ask ourselves what we might suppose would be the most significant event of the twenty-first century or the third millennium.

How much space does the band need?

Frequently Asked Questions
The band's stage area requirements vary, depending on the type of event and the size of band you request. We do realize that some venues are not able to provide a great deal of area. We work within the available space provided. If the event is a large ballroom, usually the stage is 16' deep by 24' to 30' wide. Prior to your parties' arrival, most large equipment (lights, music stands, speakers, and so forth) is usually set up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Poultry Coops can fit into just about any size backyard. For 4 hens, a 3'x4' Coop plus a "run" (a place for them to scratch around) that is roughly 3'x8' is more than adequate. Most commercial birds are placed in cages (6-8 to a cage) where they can not turn around. You, on the other hand, will have very happy birds. "Chicken Tractors" are another option.

How much air space do I need around my amplifier?

Amplifiers - FAQ
An amplifier produces heat, which its heat sink absorbs and dissipates. You should leave a few inches of air space around the amp so that it stays as cool as possible. When mounting an amp on a side wall (vertically), make sure that the fins on the heat sink are also running vertically so the heat escapes more easily. Don't mount an amp upside down — the amp will not be able to dissipate heat effectively, and overheating can damage or destroy your amp!

Why can't we just send all of our trash into outer space?

Frequently Asked Questions
It would be great to just send away our trash and not have to worry about it again. Unfortunately, to send all our garbage into space it would take thousands of launches, and with each launch being so costly, it just wouldn't make sense to send all our garbage into space.

Could the flight have been aborted before the shuttle entered outer space?

SPACE.com -- Columbia FAQ
In theory, yes. The shuttle can abort and land before it reaches orbit. But NASA did not suspect there was a problem until after the craft was in orbit and the launch video was reviewed (and then officials determined there was no problem). Once in orbit, returning earlier would likely have yielded the same result, assuming the damage had in fact been done during launch, though it has not been determined for whether the damage, in part or total, occured during launch, in flight, or at re-entry.

Do I need to use an outer carton for my temperature controlled packaging?

SCA Cool Logistics: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No. The outer carton simply acts as a layer of protection for your insulated container, working simply as both a device to enable reuse and to maintain good product presentation at delivery. Knocks to the carton will not affect performance, but will defend against the performance-reducing chips that can be knocked off an insulated container.
