Humor The cheap solution to interplanetary communication

[TSPenguin]

The cheap solution to interplanetary communication is apparently to put a few Dodge Colts in various places in the solar system.

You may ask yourself: "Why Dodge Colts?"
Because I have a special kind of Dodge Colt in mind!




You don't even need RCS to hold your attitude. You simply use the EM radiation!

I'd love to sit in that car.

For only a few seconds and only after I've wrapped three rolls of tinfoil around my gonads.

 

[Evil_Onyx]

only 3 rolls, i was thinking more like a lead radiation jacket.

Hope he remembered the hands free kit :tiphat:

Anyone sitting in this car when it reaches 85 mph is so going to wake up in 1955.

LOL! When I first saw the topic I immediately thought of Ham radio!
And actually, if all the transmission lines are true Coaxial cable and if the connectors are connected properly, there shouldn't be any RF inside the car. Frankly, I'd LOVE To have that car! I'm a licenced Ham who goes gaga over such things

Ah, Ham radio...

But the important question: Does the car have a cupholder?

But the important question: Does the car have a cupholder?

And if it does, is it UMMU compatible?

A true Space Age car with more buttons, switches and MFD`s than Space Shuttle.:speakcool:

 

[RisingFury]

Yea, and if the interplanetary communication doesn't work out, we can always use it as a microwave oven

 

[vonneuman]

:WTF:
a few Dodge Colts, you would only need one for the hole solar system

Edit: I love the way it came up on my screen. After you say that you have a special Colt in mind, I scroll down and...WTF???????????????

 

[Arrowstar]

Is there any type of communication that car doesn't have built in? I expect to open up a compartment and find two cups connected with a string, as well! I think the better question, though, is: why? :WTF:

Looks like a Soviet "fishing" trawler.

Where's Marty?

Come a long way from the Challenger Hemi...

The systems appear to be wired into looms. All 12 Volt? Otherwise they must have their own transformers/chargers installed somewhere. The other option would be worse. Fancy keeping track of changing the batteries on all that?

The speedo seems to be partially obscured. Is that legal? :hmm: :lol:

 

[Andy44]

For the sake of courtesy, please conceal your speedo. No one wants to see that.

 

[Ghostrider]

All 12 Volt? Otherwise they must have their own transformers

Yes. There is definitely more than meets the eye in that car...

 

[jedidia]

I would imagine that the life of the main battery is somewhere around 10 minutes if you use the equipement without starting the engine first...

You can't even SIT in the thing ! Not even the driver has anywhere to put his legs ! Maybe he's an amputee ?

As cool as it would be to make my car look like that, the wife would KILL me.
