My Dog discovered an ELW!!!!

Just as I was about to depart (without scanning) my dog came in and plonked it's horrid wet nose on my stick hand. For some reason this reminded me to scan... and there it was an ELW binary with a terraformable HMC!!!

Damn that dog, now I'm going to have to name it after him. So here it is, welcome to...

Schmedley's World!!!

Oh well you might as well just take him to the pound right now them.

If you want us dogs to help you sniff out those wonderful things, then you have to love and adore, everything thing about us. From our wet noses to our happy tails. From the way we like to chew your things, to the way we stink up the house.

At least the ship's dog is doing something helpful. My ship's cats are pretty good at trying to steer me right into the star, when I come out of a hyperjump. ;) :D

I agree with the "Science Officer" title. It seems quite appropriate! :D

You should get an octopus - apparently they can predict things better than dogs and you don't have to pick up their poo. ;)

I wonder which way the bubbles would go?

The water is the bubble. It sticks to itself more than air. Still breaks up and flows pretty easily though. I guess it also depends what sort of tank and aeration system you're using though...

I mean you have a spherical tank, full of water and add a bubble machine. Bubbles go upwards in water, but in space, there is no up?

Yeah, they would gather and work their way out of the water still as the water will tend to bunch up. They just won't necessarily go to the "top" (as it were) and not as quickly. A conventional aquarium wouldn't work very well for these reasons.

Does make me curious how they'd go about designing one for zero-G. Hmm...

Pressure has to be thought about as well.

Probably have two tanks spinning, like a rotating egg timer thingy type thing. Bubbles make not work but you'd just have to oxygenate the water right?

Yeah, I guess they could have a sealed tank and have water pumped through it and into a centrifuge where it is aerated, then pumped back through a filter or filters. I suppose feedings could then be provided through some sort of waterlock type process. I mean, assuming the octopus would be stable and oriented well enough to eat in that sort of environment.

They must have taken fish to the ISS, logically.

Hey, at least your dog helped you.

My dog tried to kill me. She's called Fudge. I was once interdicted by Fudge. She was sat behind me the whole time. Man she is good.
