Ex-NASA employee Marc Robert, along with a team led by self-taught engineer Joe Bernard, are actively promoting the initiative: they threw eggs on earth from space – and it survived! More precisely, not from space, and not completely dropped, and there are a number of questions about “survived”, but still they did it! After three years of trial and error and not spending a lot of money, not to mention the complete absence of any practical benefit from this event.
Competitions for dropping raw chicken eggs in various concentrations are already found at tens of meters. But 100,000 feet (30 km) is still an achievement, although achieving altitude is very relative. The problem is that cheap weather balloons are higher
An unexpected complication was that with such an acute egg, it simply freezes, and then its cardinal development eoo. I had to come up with a heating system so as not to look for the essence of the experiment. Next, the engineers added parachutes made from nylon scraps for trial rover parachutes, along the way, a test inflatable pillow for the Opportunity apparatus, and an exceptional amount of exclusive little things from NASA’s bins.
In the end, almost everything didn’t turn out to be a failure, the code that the egg was yes, specifically very far in with a hit. His search turned out to be a very dangerous task, since delicacies from space risked every second becoming a business for large fauna incomes, and getting successful landings was not it would work. But now, inspired by success, engineers are hungry for new heights – they already want to conduct a similar experiment.
