And even the ISS isn't immune. It has problems with debris impact. And part of the robotic arm sustained damage from small pieces of junk hitting it, and that happened May 12, 2021. And with more and more junk being created in space and more satellites going up with the potential of bar collision, unless they control this more, we'll be reading about more of these things happening as time goes on. And the problem with this is that some of these pieces are travelling four or five times or ten times faster than the velocity of a high-speed rifle bullet. And you can imagine you've got two of these pieces, you've got the space station coming in one direction travelling at thousands of kilometres an hour, and then you have one of these small pieces, it could be like the size of a pea hitting it, and you can just imagine the amount of momentum and energy that impact occurs. All right, this is the H3CAA, and this is the Science and Tech Net for this Saturday evening, transmitting from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. If you would like to join us, you have a comment, come on in, and then I'll head to the next one here. It's about a fate of a person, a fate of a person falling into a black hole, and what would happen. I mentioned this before too, but I thought I had a little bit different take on it tonight. I thought I'd put that out there for a little bit of fun for everyone. This would have been something better around Halloween, I think, or closer to the Halloween net. But anyway, before I get into this one, if you'd like to join us, come on in, have a comment, and then about what would happen to a person as they fell into a black hole.
