One of the best video presentations i ever seen.

The GOSE it self kills my SciFi fantasies.

Ha, if someone would have told me the idea, i would say, cool, lets do it. But if someone would have shown me the carft design itself, i would say forget it :)

The craft is inspirational! Looks like space ship from SciFi movies :D

@Minionuup Your ignorance and desire to ignore science isnt our problem

@Oxstayne Different instruments.

@joethewhite Even in orbit it's still bound by gravity.

@joethewhite vote his comment up!

How does an orbiting satellite detect gravity? 

[Oxstayne]

Gravity and Climate Change? How do they relate?

[Lybaertdries]

What's wrong with that?

[hatsoff456]

awesomeness....

what's the track you used it's a great chill out tune.

This was interesting until the words "climate change" came across the screen.

Extraordinary satellite. I wonder if it could detect also gravitational changes induced by earthquakes.
