And Now, A Confused U.S. President Wandering Off A Stage He Wasn't Supposed To Leave
Also your open thread!
It's been a weird day for news today, and it is pretty gross and rainy out (at least in Chicago), so let's just end this day on an especially absurd note, with this video of Donald "Who Am I? Where Am I?" Trump walking off stage at the G-20, leaving Argentinian president Mauricio Macri standing alone. He was apparently supposed to stay for a photo op with Macri and other world leaders, but instead just shook Macri's hand and then waltzed off stage, lost in his own world.

This is... not the first time this has occurred.

And now, I'm going to wander off myself and leave you all to your open thread!

"What would happen if you were high above Earth’s surface or in space without a protective pressure suit or spacesuit?Would you explode? Would your blood boil? Could you survive? The answers are a bit more complicated than you might think, and these lessons and activities will show you why humans need protective pressure suits in these conditions.The quick answers to the above questions are as follows:
Wouldyouexplode?No.Wouldyourbloodboil?Thatdepends,butthewaterinyourbodywould.Couldyousurvive?Yes,butonlyforabout1minute."

Also, I referred to the wrong aircraft in the pressure suit death. It was an F-104.
"At 61,000 feet, the F-104 was in its preplanned 30-degree climb. When it reached 63,000 feet, the positioning facility called Haderlie to order the standard afterburner shut down.The call was not acknowledged. On the closed-circuit television monitor in the space positioning facility, the Starfighter was seen rolling inverted. Four seconds later, Haderlie transmitted, “I lost my glove.”The aircraft had now passed through 66,000 feet.Loss of the glove caused total loss of air pressure within the suit and helmet. With an explosive decompression, his body was instantly in a depressurized cockpit. He would stay conscious for only a few seconds."

I like the guy, more or less. I just think he has an overinflated sense of success.
