Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Dropping a ball
in the desert
I just heard on Paul Harvey in the radio (570). He
gave a story about a man that had gathered rubber bands and made a huge rubber
ball. He wanted to know how high it could bounce. So he took it in
an airplane a mile or so above the Mojave Desert and dropped it.
It
hit with a thud, didn't bounce at all, it only left a hole in the desert. Did
he have BLM permission? Did he even ask? Maybe we should go there
to try the bowling ball experiment??
