Take the Space Quiz

Space. The Final Frontier. This is The Escapist Manned Spaceflight Quiz. Your mission is to take all ten questions, to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly get 100 percent in under 20 seconds where no man has scored before.

This week marks the fiftieth anniversary of mankind's first journey into outer space. To celebrate half-a-century of manned space flight, we've got ten questions about the real and fictional men and women and things who have traveled beyond the edges of our atmosphere and the people and programs who have helped put them there.

So fix yourself a nice big glass of Tang, strap on your pee-bag and settle in to answer ten questions about the adventures of the real and imaginary astronauts!

[That's Funny]

I'm basically going with previous comments and say 404. Actually nevermind, its fixed.

Got 4/10, guess where I won't be taking my vacations in the future.

Again... 404, and also I should point out that Yuri Gagarin was not the first man in space, and I'm not talking about the rumors of Russians sending people up in secret, or The Boss, it was actually a man called Joeseph Kittenger. Not only was he the first man in space, he also had the biggest balls of every astronaut since. He flew to space in an air balloon. Don't believe me? Look it up. But its what he did when he got to space that makes him the ballsiest man II've ever heard of. And you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you so look that up too.

404............. IGGY ANGRY!

 

[Phlakes]

Thanks you've given me something to do until the quiz is fixed.

This always happens with the quizzes.

Wouldn't it work better if they got the quiz working before they announce it?

This is the best video I could find, (the guy video'd what he did), some people don't seem to think 102,800 feet is space, but when you look at the video, it certainly looks like space to me.

Joseph Kittenger ascended to a height of 31,300m in a hot air balloon in 1960. This does not make him the first man in space for 2 reasons,
1) To be "in space" you have to be (according to NASA) at an altitude of at least ~80,000m.
2) Even if 31,300m was considered to be technically "in space" that milestone was reached in 1956 when Iven C. Kincheloe flew the X-2 "Starbuster" to height of 38,466 m

sorry to say but space start (at least officially) at 100 km, that is to say 328 083 feet.

In the comment above, I did admit that 100thousand feet or 3 thousand meters isn't technically space, but just watch that video and tell me you wouldn't consider that space when you see it. although I didn't know about that guy Ivan C. Kincheloe, but then again he didn't Sky dive from space (or whatever 30 thousand meters is called by NASA) did he? I am gonna look him up now though, thanks for letting me know that.

you can't get to space in a balloon, because by definition balloons need atmospheric pressure to generate lift. Kittenger and the Excelsior/Man High projects were impressive, but not space flight. Besides, the USAF definition of space flight is a flight exceeding an altitude of 50 miles or 264,000 ft, well over twice Kittinger's record.

also 404

EDIT: also ninja'd
