Damn this.

I was so fucking excited.
God damnit, was really looking forward to this.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
I kind of wonder why they do this in the middle of the desert. Aren't there many other less windy places?

Wind isn't the only consideration. Precipitation and temperature are also important, and both are pretty predictable out in the desert.
[QUOTE]Today's launch has been aborted at 11:42hrs MDT due to wind gusts making an attempt too risky. There is a second backup balloon but the weather may [B]not be favourable for a launch tomorrow[/B] (10/10).[/QUOTE]
Stopped my fap session only to have this shit aborted.
Fuck.

No it's expanding, the universe is finite

Science class

Yeah all also got taught in science class that the Bohr model of the atom was correct; which for more complex calculations and experiments it very much is not correct.
High-school science isn't [I]really[/I] up to date with the latest in discoveries on the extreme macro/micro scales

No science class I have ever seen has taught the Bohr model as correct. They typically use it to help students visualize the atom at first, before explaining orbitals.

Also there could be more than what we could theoretically see 13.75 billion lightyears away, but we can't know because the universe is expanding in those areas faster than the speed of light, so the light never actually reaches us.

My bad; that's just the impression we were given in school

Sorry your teacher (or district) had such low standards for what constitutes an education on atomic function :/
It's sad that it being a low wage job means that intelligent people tend to choose higher-paying careers due to capability and want for income.

It could be that I wasn't really listening too closely in first-year science where we learned about the Bohr model, resulting in an inaccurate belief that I then wrongly assumed that everybody else in my class held as well, and a belief that was only superseded in optional higher level physics classes.
So my bad, but it's not really any reason to go and attack my school, teacher or teaching district

I'm not attacking anything. It was an observation as to a possible cause.
