Depends on if the kid meant "in space" or "on something like the space station".
Kids being kids, he probably literally meant space, not realizing the implications of water (possibly) becoming gaseous from lack of pressure (I assume?).
For that age, it would be a good learning experience to explain in a spaceship vs in space - just not the triple point of water, or the different ices, etc.
Right? It's a frigging battery.
Surely we can get a group of battery techs and mechanical engineers together to come up with a solution.
Hell, I've been bastardizing the "wrong" batteries into devices since the mid-70's, while today I'm usually replacing crappy built-in batteries with 18650's. And I'm no EE, just have a little skill and vision.
Surely the battery spec on this is pretty clear, and it's an off-the-shelf tech (not some odd chemistry devised by the company). Not that it really matters - a replacement merely needs to fit in the space, and match voltage and current requirements.
Love that German seems to have a word for everything. Neat.
They used to have a small truck, or is my memory that bad?
That's a river?
Your family isn't dumber than average.
Uu tech folks tend to forget/overlook that most people are clueless as to how mobile devices work. I have IT friends who know practically nothing about the Android file system, or how apps store (but don't sync) data, for example. And these are people designing/implementing/supporting complex systems.
Most people can't be bothered if there's more than one or two steps. I can't walk my "70 year old uncle" through configuring an app on his phone, over the phone. The stuff he says he sees make no sense at all. I'm like "no, that's not what you should see, what did you click on"?.
And you can buy them today for less than I expected.
Oh, access to everything will happen.
The owners will just charge us for every viewing of every episode.
Yep.
I rip them, then store the discs in a cool, dark, dry place.
Everything I rip is backed up. It's pretty clear what's happening.
And in 20 years they'll start "selling" everything by the episode online.
Laser is your long term answer. Brother seems to be the brand today.
You buy as much space as you'll need in the next few years and make a plan for proper duplication/backup, such as 3-2-1 Backups.
