I don't doubt that you think you "know" this. But the problem is, as with so many other things you're so confident you know, it ain't so. The
shuttle does not, and never has, recycled water. It disposes of it -- sometimes by dumping it, sometimes through the FES, sometimes (if docked to a
space station) in beachball sized plastic bags (CWC's).
So when you say "all other water is recycled" on the shuttle you are, once again, substituting your own far-out fantasies for factual
realities.
was their something wrong in the data contained in that link jim it contradicts your assertion about the water recycling i am
affraid atleast on flight 75 anyways.
please dont be dismissive this time i have had 3 days solid reading aqbout shuttle water and its uses.
do you feel your central plank giving way jim
you know now dont you that all the documentation required is
there to refute your ice thoery.
i must say tho i am chuffed to be the first to notice the experimental nature of the waste water being diverted to the flash
evaporator to assist with the data on this mission an extension of flight 73s work i believe.
all the time line shows are the flash evoporator flush times as that was when the urine was used to suppliment the flush due
to running hot for extended periods and using excessive supplies as shown above fes does not create ice with its dumps/flushes it
creates a halo of gas at the aft end in clear view of the tops camera..
however as i stated it broke and substantially iced up in between experiments/flushes so yes it produced ice on its line and
nozzles.
While science investigations continued on the middeck -- specifically studying how fire spreads and soot develops in the microgravity environment of
space -- a procedure was performed to remove ice from the core of Columbia's flash evaporator system which shutdown earlier this morning.
On Saturday, March 2, 1996, 8 a.m. CST
The FES core flush procedure was identical to one carried out on the last Shuttle flight to melt ice and recover use of the subsystem which is
designed as a subtle method for dumping excess water overboard without disrupting the experiments on board. The FES also cools the freon used to keep
orbiter and payload electronics at operating temperatures.
so now its all down to the timing of the thaw and releases jimbo isnt it as thats the only source of water ice.
you sitting comfortably jimbo. that was the day after the footage was shot jimbo.
i have clearly linked to the data stating the above you however have replied with a !!trust me your wrong!! reply.
the above is all from nasa jim.
no ice no theory jim.
the fes was running and releasing steam jimbo from the time the cargo bay doors were opened with sometimes excessive steam and
both valves were in use.
fes failed and iced up unfortunately for your theury it failed after the footage was shot and fixed after the footage was
shot.
