What if here is no flying saucers built by aliens going through
deep(galactic) space? Reason is they all would build their space craft
as a ball(right Darla) Its really the only way to go. A sphere(ball)
has no wasted space. Nature loves this shape because it is so
symmetrical. Build a spacecraft perfectly round and have its equator
plane revolving at a speed that would equal Earth's gravity force. Its
axis poles would have no force of gravity,and that would make ideal
sleeping areas. Keep in mind that a spinning sphere can be said to have
super symmetry. As you know I'm big on spin. I like round
Walking on the inside of the ships walls is just the same as walking on
the Earth's surface. Inside a push force,and outside like here on
Earth's surface a pull force,but they are equivalent Einstien told us

Try tossing a ball straight up while standing on that wall.

Or a flat plane so one could maximize energy collection from a nearby star.
(Seems there may be no 'best' shape).

Or since there is no wind resistance in space, how about a giant cube so
you
can maximize useful space which is lost a sphere?

Hi wings Standing in the equator area of the spacecraft that is
revolving to give you a one "G' and throwing a ball up would be no
different than standing on the Earth. The ball is moving relative.

Ahhh, but the minute the ball leaves your hand it will go in a straight
line. You will not. You are forced by the floor to go around in a curved
path. This leads to an effect similar (same?) as the Earth's corioless
effect. Different starting velocities upward will result in the ball coming
down in different spots. You are not aware that you travel in a circle, so
the ball's behavior looks a tad strange. If that's hard to see, imagine
throwing the ball with enough force that it passes the center of the ship,
heading away from you.

Hi wings The Earth is our space ship. NASA uses the Earth's speed of
1000mph when it wants objects to achieve orbit. NASA lands rovers on
Mars close to its equator for the same reason..Shoot a bullet straight
up say 2,000 feet on a day with no wind and it will fall right next to
you. Bert

Hi wings There is a picture thought. At the equator the Earth is
spinning at 1030mph lets have it stop spinning instantly. The ocean
water would shoot into space at 1030 mph. Well not to worry the water
will fall back to the Earth's surface Water stays put because its
relative motion is the same as the surface of the Earth that it is
resting on. Bert

You are correct with a minor altitude climb on a vast thing like the Earth.
But imagine shooting your bullet out to a distance where the Earth has
revolved enough to be going in the opposite direction at the launch point
before the object returns. ...

Hummm? Hold on...Think I talked myself into a hole here. There would be a
thousand mile per hour lateral displacement none the less. If the object
takes 12 hours to return it will return to the launch site it appears. Gonna
take a hit on this and give you the points.

Gotta think some more about the inside of that spaceball, however. (grin)
