Not knowing what a Orion was I googled it with this result.



Would a "constellation Urion" be a fellow astronaut or would it be an ezdropping ground crew?
Great questions and from what I remember from the little bit of Orbital Mechanics?

What goes up....

---------

Wally Schirra (Apollo VI) was the one who coined the term Constellation Urion after they dumped a waste holding tank into space, the water froze and followed the capsule for a while.

It was a play on the Constellation Orion, the Hunter!

Gary,

The answer is inertia. A moving cat will stay moving, until he knocks over something made of glass.


One cat on a Queen size bed?

I have to go to my Biology and Anatomy back ground to answer this.


This is a two foot long, four footed cat?

Two plus four?

That equals SIX feet just the right size for a Queenie. I am a little over six foot tall and a queen sized bed is just the right size for me?
