Even your fart gas will be recalibrated. But I still get to keep my contrariness right? Because if I can't I ain't going. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

I recall he said if it broke at the asteroid. Some of the lighter fragments that broke off closer to the asteroid would stay in orbit, the stuff lower down would have its orbit decay. I don't think anything would be flung into space, unless lighter fragments were propelled to an escape velocity by an explosion. Who knows, I think the dynamics of something like that are probably quite complex, so many variables. Edited January 17, 20224 yr by martin-w

Noel Well I don't know, the contact I signed did mention neurological reprograming in the event of behaviour incompatible with 3022 societal norms. The contract is signed, so if you don't step in that cryofreezer the moment its invented the temporal police might come back and give you rather firm encouragement to do so.

I'm sure you could my friend but we are talking about technology that is way beyond the grasp of 21st century man. Fine tuning a malodourous flatus is a technology that requires extreme technological know-how. I'm afraid for at least the next 100 years you will have to just place your fingers over your nose until the offensive molecules have sunk to the ground, been absorbed by the soil and killed a multitude of unfortunate subsurface dwelling invertebrates.

Quote If your farts don’t have any smell, they’re healthy and normal, and merely mean air has accumulated in the body and is now exiting. Actually, 99 percent of fart is made up of odorless gases. The remaining 1 percent is typically sulfurous. Farting a lot? That’s typically normal, too, since the average person usually passes gas about 20 times a day. Fr.
