If you were out in the middle a small pond in a boat and you had a bunch of large bricks in the boat and you threw them overboard into the water, would the water level in the pond go up or down?

I used to hear a rumor when I was a secondary student, that once there was an astronaut who unfortunately was lost in space as a result of some accident while doing space walk. Is this true? It’s real that a man got lost out there in space?

I've searched all the sites but no luck. It is fairly large (almost 1 inch in length, 2 inches with legs spread) and looks similar to a wolf spider. It has three large eyes on top of a raised mound on it's head. I can't really see any other eyes. It has large fangs. The most distinctive features are it's abdomen and the small hairs on it's legs. The abdomen is not hairy but smooth, almost looking like the shell of a beetle. It looks hard and has long closly spaced parallel lines running from front to back. They aren't colored but are a result of a physical pattern of ridges. The thorax and legs are almost like any other wolf spider. But the abdomen is throwing me off. Any ideas? I know spiders quite well by the way. So I am looking for more than "it's a wolf spider". I'd like to get a name or genus/species if possible.

Kalam wants to know how Tipu built rockets 200 years ago

Bangalore, July 21: A letter from a Mysore-based journalist was enough for President A P J Abdul Kalam to send a top defence scientist to Srirangapatna to study Tipu Sultan's efforts to use rockets against the British more than 200 years ago.

At the end of a visit to various sites associated with Tipu's rocket and missile launching activities at Srirangapatna, a sleepy town some 100 km from here and a short distance from Mysore, scientist A Sivathanu Pillai declared: "There is no doubt that this is the birthplace of rocketry."

Pillai, Chief Controller of Research and Development in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said his visit yesterday was at the instance of Kalam, who told him to "look at it".

"Now I will report to the president what I have seen here (Srirangapatna)," he said. "He (Kalam) is a rocket scientist. Naturally, he is interested to know.

"I don't say only Tipu (pioneered the rocket technology). There were some people with him at that time who were innovative in warfare technology. That's my impression," said Pillai, who was a core team member of slv-3, India's first satellite launch rocket, under Kalam's leadership.

"This is the birth place of rocketry. We want to tell the whole world that we are the father of rocket technology. This is the place from where rocketry has come".

It is not as if Tipu Sultan's exploits with rockets, which enabled him to defeat the British in the 1792 war, were not known before.

"It's just that not many in India know about that. Even Vikram Sarabhai, the father of Indian space programme, didn't know much about Tipu's exploits," said Pillai.

Now, he said, efforts would be made to build consensus in the community of rocket scientists that Srirangapatna was the birthplace of rocketry by holding seminars and other initiatives, perhaps jointly with the Astronomical Society of India, Aeronautical Society of India and Indian Space Research Organisation.

Recalling his visit to the royal artillery museum in London, Pillai said documents there showed Tipu's men defeating the British in 1792 with rockets.

"Tipu could simultaneously launch three rockets. He had a rocket force of 6,000 rocketeers. He used many of the rockets against the British, who could not withstand them and they were defeated. They lost the war, and while they were running away, they took away rocket pieces," he said.

Tipu's war weapons were innovative for the time and there was a need for more research to understand them, he said.
