The Atmosphere: Where Does It End

[Mr. Bambu]

Something like that, yes. One notable one we already use (and is listed on the appropriate page in the appropriate section, notably) is our standard height of a "mountain", that being 609 meters. If we were to create a section to document official stances on heights, we should have at least a short list of non-obvious examples. Then we would need to format it, add at least a couple footnotes I can foresee being necessary, and then we'd be golden.

The other option up for voting is simply adding it (that is, a note mentioning our stance on statements or visuals using the "edge of the atmosphere" as a measurement) to some existent, relevant section.

I don't see the harm in doing something like that, lots of people already use those values to begin with, we'd just need to find a lot more common stuff to use so its not just barren

On monday I can add a lot of things here and have the start of a decent list compiled and sourced

maybe dimensions of the average car (~4m long, ~1.5m tall, ~2m wide?)
baseball/basketball/football dimensions, in case that's relevant

I believe we should make a separate thread for that instead, this one is for the atmosphere, so it might be considered derailing.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I'd consider it more of a continuation. A separate thread may be helpful for archiving purposes, however, as it would be easier to find such a thing later if the title matched the intent. Alternatively, I may rename this one to reflect where the discussion's current position.

 

[KLOL506]

Then I go with the separate thread option.

 

[Dalesean027]

Whether its a seperate thread or not doesn't really matter to me either way, if we feel its necessary go for it
