All the more reason to not think too hard about anyone's powers.)<BR/><BR/>I believe that when Iceman created the ice tunnel, we're supposed to think he was in a part of Asteroid M that still had "air" (and presumably moisture) and he funnled that out into space to create the tunnel. Of course, if that were the case, then the air in his location should have been venting into the vacuum of space at such a rate that he'd be sucked out with it. <BR/><BR/>But hey, it's the 60s. Space was different back then. <BR/><BR/>As for the Danger Room, while it isn't quite up to Holodeck level yet, having an "auto-lock, auto-start" mechanism is beyond moronic. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I think it's just one more example of Professor X being a dick.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-85743957140439245872009-03-18T13:58:00.000-05:002009-03-18T13:58:00.000-05:00Technically outter space is dangerous because of i...Technically outter space is dangerous because of it's lack of pressure...which...creates extreme pressue...ummm...anyway, space is a vacuum amd particles in a vacuum want to expand to fill the space up. Hence, the blood boiling and exploding heads and such.<BR/><BR/>My point is, I think technically the ice bridge would boil upon creation. Or, more to the point, it would instantly evaporate. Perhaps I don't understand the nature of Iceman's power, but the ice he creates can melt into water, right? If so, then he definitely shouldn't be able to create it in space. Also, where does that water come from? If he can just create the ice out of nothing, why doesn't the US use Iceman as an unlimited source of freshwater?<BR/><BR/>You see what happens when you have adventures in space? The physics is usually completely wrong and it just brings up questions that shouldn't be asked.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and is it me or is the Danger Room the biggest piece of crap in the world? Sure, a "holodeck" sounds good, except this one has a habit of trying to kill it's occupants...or, at the very least, inconveniencing them by locking.Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-27184010461873449122009-03-18T10:06:00.000-05:002009-03-18T10:06:00.000-05:00You know, space crap always peeves me off.

And yeah there's no air - but i was always taught that air isn't the problem - the extreme pressure is - your blood would boil long before you suffocated.<BR/>Whether that would happen before you instantly froze, though, i don't know.<BR/>I'm not an astrophysicist.Sarah Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795455714801965956noreply@blogger.com
