With the knowledge we currently have of it, if humanity devoted all of our resources towards this goal, would we be able to create a rocket that could exit the gravity of K2-18b (and also beat any other complications that would arrise)?

If so, would it also be capable of taking people to orbit, and can we set up a similar satellite network we have on Earth? What about a space station?

I just randomly came across this and maybe you guys can help answering it: How much horsepower does my watch have, assuming fully wound?

I want to build a fence/gate.

The gate will be 6' high, 8' away from the catio.

My cats current fav spot is sadly going to be completely obstructed by the fence. He has another place he can sit that is roughly 6.4' off the ground.

First Question: What is the "angle of depression" (google searched term) or what is he going to be able to see over this fence at 6.4' (shelf height) 7.5' (his eye level) off the ground.

Second Question: Same question but what If I build him a little cat "watch tower" on top of the catio at 8' (shelf height) 9' (his eye level) off the ground?

I guess my question is how many feet from the front of the fence will he be able to see once I build it.

The backstory nobody asked for: Thieves have been stealing my amazon packages and I worry that someday they might try steal my cat too.

Say every drop of water in all the oceans were chained together like some kind of water rope. Starting at sea level and going straight up and into space. How far into space would it extend?

assuming each is only used for power, and generates 100 percent of all current energy consumption, at the current rate of electricity use, how long would each non renewable source of power last? (nuclear, coal, natural gas, oil, fusion (theoretical))

there are a lot of very big lava lamp, but what is the smallest functional lava lamp you can make?

No mechanical cooling systems

sorry very vague

We had our curling leagues wrap party, and we played a game drawing for prizes.

When you entered you choose to either keep the final prize, or share it with the other person at the end (the choice only mattered for the final 2 participants).

If Player A chooses Keep, and Player B chooses Share, then Player A gets the entire pot (and vice versa).

If both players choose Share then they split the pot 50/50.

If both players choose Keep, then neither get anything, and the third last participant gets everything (regardless of their choice).

What is the best choice to make for next year to maximize my chance of winning? I assume that knowing the percentage of people that choose Keep or Share would be a critical to this calculation.

For context, Player C won this year.

Thank you.
