Talk:Explorer 3

message: Why did the spacecraft's orbit decay? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.162.0.42 (talk) 19:26, 1 May, 2006 (UTC)
:It was probably slowed down by friction from the atmosphere, until it no longer had sufficient velocity to stay in orbit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PCSrules2018 (talk • contribs) 23:24, 9 August, 2006 (UTC)
:Its orbital perigee was only 116 miles above Sea Level. At that height there's enough atmospheric drag to bleed off a small amount of orbital energy with each revolution. With each revolution the apogee drops a little bit. Eventually the apogee drops to the same height as the perigee. From that point the Spacecraft suffers continuous drag and spirals downward.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.223.130.32 (talk) 02:54, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The current depiction of the orbital characteristics of the original trajectory of this satellite says:
:Explorer 3 was placed in an orbit with a perigee of 186 kilometers and an apogee of 2799 kilometers having a period of 115.7.
I'm assuming that the period is 115.7 minutes, but I'm not sure.  The unit is missing here and it would be worth putting into this article by somebody with the facts closer at hand.  --Robert Horning (talk) 04:21, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Loop (Texarkana)

message: I think it would make sense to have one article for the full 3/4 loop formed by US 59, Loop 151 and Highway 245, as it is really one roadway, much like the Capital Beltway (which happens to have one number, but didn't for a while in the 1980s). The problem is what to call it - "Loop (Texarkana)"? "Texarkana loop"? "Loop around Texarkana"? According to Freakofnurture, it's typically called "the Loop", so that would probably mean the first. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 10:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

message: "falling overboard is one of the leading causes of death"[citation needed]; 
I know this to be true, for the life of me I do not know where I learned it. 
I believe it came up in some of the sailing courses I took in France and the UK, if I am not mistaken, it was also mentioned when I took a week's course for my US Coast Guard's captain's license last fall. 
A quick search on the web does provide supporting statistics: 
California Boating Safety Report shows falling overboard to be one of the leading causes of death in pleasure boating. 
A second report, this one from the US Coast guard, also confirms that falling overboard is a large problem in the Fishing industry.
Are these references good enough?
It is important to state this fact. Spreading this information can save lives, which was one of the reasons for me to write the article on Jack Lines!

message: My first big earthquake happened when I was 23 months old; well, not that BIG, an M7.3.  I'm now 74 years old and is time that I started talking and writing about it.  But, I'll need lots of other Wikipedia editors and writers to help me cover the topics consistently, thoroughly and well.  Among many other skills I've been a British Columbia Licenced Free Miner (Prospector) most all of my life.  Living my formative years in Minto 'City' (Gold) Mine in the Bridge River Valley, British Columbia "The Gold Valley" [similar to the gold fields of northern California; placer and seven hardrock mines have come and gone in the last 150+ years] I was literally playing and raised in the stuff; and, also staked claims to my own stuff.
My perspective is 'from the ground up", so I speak and so I write.  After seventy years of learning, reading and studying most everything I've come to a BIG conclusion.  For the most part, everybody has it all UPSIDE DOWN, AND BACKWARDS.  MOST EVERYBODY.  There all afraid, they know the BIG ONE is coming, and hardly anyone knows what to do about it.
So I've been knitting some of my rudimentary explanations of Cascadia in a number of Websites (Blogs).  Several years ago I found it frustrating to hyperlink to some websites; North Vancouver City Library, North Vancouver District Library, and the West Vancouver Memorial Library, where I had hyperlinked right into their 'stacks', for instance, would change the underlying URLs without notification.
Links for Cascadia; let's try to link some of this together, somehow:

thread_title:  Make or Break 

message: There is no ref to the original pilot made in 1990 with Mike Reid and John Parrott
* https://www.britishclassiccomedy.co.uk/big-break
The show was in part, inspired by ITV’s hit show Bullseye.  in May 1990, an unbroadcast pilot show was filmed.  It was hosted by another comedian Mike Reid, alongside snooker player and commentator John Parrott.  However then BBC Director-General: Michael Checkland, felt that the structure and scoring of the show was too similar to ITV’s Bullseye.  He also felt that Reid and Parrott did not have the right ‘double-act’ relationship.
The idea was not shelved.  Instead in 1991 a one-off special was filmed with the intention of being aired during the Christmas period that year.
While it used the same set, the show was now hosted by comedian Jim Davidson alongside former snooker player John Virgo.  A decision was made to re-edit the special to become the pilot episode of a new series.
Big Break finally made it’s debut in April 1991.  The show ran for fourteen series clocking up mammoth two hundred and twenty two episodes (inc seventeen specials).  Episodes were thirty minutes duration

message: This one keeps recurring.  Somehow the presence of water in Blue Peter's regulator valve is supposed to have jammed it open.  I remember reading an interim report after the incident, and this suggested that the driver had actually succeeded in shutting the regulator quite early in the slip (hence the wheelslip easing in ferocity for a few moments before then going catastrophic).  Unfortunately the loco had already primed heavily, and several gallons of hot water then entered the superheater where it vapourised and expanded directly from water to superheated steam.  Now that the regulator was shut, the resulting trapped steam had only one way to go - out through the cylinders.  It's no wonder that the poor man couldn't wind the gear back - God knows what pressure the trapped steam reached before the 'prime' boiled-off.  If the regulator had been left open, the rest of the boiler would have followed it out through the cylinders, instead of lifting the safety valves as seen in the video.
