xxovercastxx your right about the seats and the necks and the mass death.

What I dont get is you peoples lack of faith in solar and wind power, I hope both of you realize it is perfect ally viable to create hydrogen fuel cells from natural energy sources, our governments just havent put any effort into developing alternative energies because of OIL. Solar, wind, geothermal, wave and tidal are all viable if we do them right, and as a plus if we start no we might have enough oil to manufacture their structures with ease, not the case in the future.

dont forget where the electricity comes from..dirty dirty power plants, so our environment remains to be screwed!

Ever hear of hydroelectric, solar, wind, and yes, even nuclear power? All relatively clean when compared to burning fossil fuels.

agreed enzolube, and the capability to press forward with technology heralding in the 20 century, has been around since Nicola Tesla, walked into Edison's office and basically shot his little empire to shit with a few scribblings....genius is a threat to the powermad, and the fact is, that free energy has been here all the time, kept in a box by those whose pathetic puppets we get to vote for.....Do you know how many people have been paid off or eliminated, that have produced in their garages, cars that will run on gas, but that get a hundred miles to the gallon....go check it-

Marconi did not invent radio...Edison was not the father of anything but a fucking East coast, DC fire hazard, and of everything you think you know as fiction, the truth is even stranger.......Solar, wind, and nuclear energy is a schoolkid's Heath kit experiment, compared to what is out there that we don't get-Some day perhaps. But for now, keep voting, paying your taxes, and other such self-destructive and anti-evolutionary activities.........

Yes, the following can contribute to orbital decay.
Perturbations due to Non-spherical Earth (including tidal drag)
Third-Body Perturbations (moon, planets, etc.)
Perturbations from Atmospheric Drag
Perturbations from Solar Radiation (Intense solar activity causes our atmosphere to expand outward in addition to the effects of solar wind itself)

"The space shuttle and the ISS both orbit within the thermosphere. The thermosphere is about a million times less dense than the atmosphere at sea level, but that's enough to affect the orbits of these satellites."

12). How long will orbital debris remain in Earth orbit?
The higher the altitude, the longer the orbital debris will typically remain in Earth orbit. Debris left in orbits below 600 km normally fall back to Earth within several years. At altitudes of 800 km, the time for orbital decay is often measured in decades. Above 1,000 km, orbital debris will normally continue circling the Earth for a century or more.

IIS altitude: roughly 350 km
Hubble altitude: roughly 600 km
"The ISS will sink a couple of kilometers per year in the future because of atmospheric drag - in its current configuration"
