In July of this year, over the space probe next to the New horizons beyond the planets of the solar system from the sun, Pluto. From there, he sent us to probe high-resolution images of the planet Pluto, which visions and clear humans for the first time. As the probe also analyzed the radiation surrounding Pluto, and photographing its surface using a spectrometer, to see its components. New horizons in vehicle is the first man-made up of tiny Pluto a planet. What if I imagined that he encountered on their journey to happen and collide with your vehicle?
It is very difficult to imagine this occurs, tends to Valmspar outside our solar system now. Even if he had changed course wrong and headed for the land, there is no truth chance to collide with your car, but if there was a way strange out of the atmosphere moving it in your car, air Valglaf which protects the earth, will burn the probe completely before reaching the surface, and collide with one.
But imagine if you were driving your car by mistake in the way around Sharon, the moon of Pluto. Or you're on a planet other than Earth, a planet with no atmosphere, the probe will collide with it? What will happen then? Physics is always the answer to such a question fantasy questions.
Beginning you should know that the probe New horizons, new perspectives and means, with a size and mass Amathlan size and mass large-sized piano. It also moves through space at 14 kilometers per second, which is the fastest vehicle ever built by man. If the probe that collided with his speed in your car, this collision The consequences will be serious on you and on the car and on the probe, and the whole city as well.
And the speed of 14 kilometers per second speed is very very humbling. If I stood on top of a football field and fired a pistol at the other end at the same moment beside you cross the probe, the probe will pass the stadium before it reaches Rsastk point penalty. If you move your car next to the probe on the pitch, Vstqta about 3 centimeters only at that moment. In this terrible speed across probe the solar system, the planet Pluto.
Space probe New horizons can not talk to us and collect data at the same time, so During the crossing Pluto will put all its focus on imaging and examination of the planet, and after that the end would send a brief message to the command center on the ground that it was okay, and still works well. Before completing his journey in the outer belt of ocean planets, which consists of a group of mobile rocks, in the sector of space it did not reach his human never before. The SIP message and fast-moving light, you will reach the earth in about 4 hours and a half, the same distance conclusive made by the probe in about 9 years.
We go back to our subject, what does all this mean for your car?
All modern cars designed aims to protect passengers from the accident, and it absorbs the bulk of the energy resulting from the collision, rather than for transport of passengers and killed. But this design will be useless in front of the enormous speed with which the probe will impact your car. With tremendous speed, the metal will not bear the shock, and instead of bending and shock absorption, Satft chassis, Saft probe him for sure. Seatonather crumbs and metal flying in every direction, and it will look for those who look from afar like a big explosion.
Not only will unfortunately just the destruction of two vehicles completely, Valmspar space New Horizons carries inside a nuclear battery of radioactive plutonium -238, is the only source of energy. In his journey on the outskirts of the solar system away from its center and the only source of energy, the sun, the probe will not find enough solar energy to run its mechanisms. Nuclear battery and designed to withstand a solid entry into the atmosphere in case of an error in the probe path. But it will certainly bear the power of your vehicle collision, and which will lead necessarily to the spread of radioactive and crashing all over the city of nuclear fuel. Which is what happened before already.
In 1978 the Russian satellite Cosmos 954, which was carrying a nuclear reactor, derailed, and compelling journey began falling out. And when he entered the atmosphere began to friction layers atmosphere. The reactor was not designed to withstand such an incident, which ultimately led to the disintegration of the satellite and the reactor just above Canada, which led to the contamination of the Canadian city of Yellowknife radioactive materials. And it cost the Canadian government millions of dollars to remove the radioactive residues and cleanse the city of radiation, the Soviets demanded material compensation 6 million Canadian dollars, the Soviets failed to pay only half of them will.
The good thing in the incident, that if you come out of it, it happened to you or you're out of the car for some reason, then NASA will reimburse you for what happened to your car. According to the International Convention on the responsibility of accidents that occur because of space missions Convention on the International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Object, NASA would bear the full costs of the incident and the US government. And in contrast to the insurance companies that insure your life and your car, Fbnod contract certainly would not include insurance against space accidents. And the cost of a new car on NASA negligible compared to what will bear the substantial costs to purge the city from the impact of radiation resulting from the incident.
But, fortunately, all of the above is just imagine, in New Horizons now outside the solar system, as you are still in your home, and in the most part, will never happen to get lost in the orbits of the moons of Pluto remote, as long as you focus on your way while driving.
