Hello all,
Some weeks ago I watched a sci-fi Anime series. After watching one of the
episodes I got thinking about this “method of escape”.
Here’s the Scenario:
Two guys are stuck in a very large, glass-roofed lounge with the ceiling
pointing into outer space. The room is airtight. They can’t get out of there by
putting on space suits or hopping on a ship in the hangar because the places are
all sealed off. Their friend comes with his ship, floating about 500 feet above
the lounge roof. He drops a rope on a fast-reeling pulley (you know what I mean)
towards the roof. Just before it hits the roof, the two other guys shoot at the
roof, breaking it. The air rushes out as the rope drops in. They hang on as they
are reeled in very quickly. The rushing air provides a little bit of pressure so
they can survive on the way up. They quickly board the ship, and the pilot (by
computer) seals the airtight door.
Is this possible? Why or Why not?
PLMKWYT.
Cheers (*clink*)
Dean
