Patrick, 6.3 grams or 6300 milligrams is what the scale would read on 67P - if it was a perfect scale that could register that close to zero - your Walmart bathroom scale would not qualify. Ed ------------------------ Quoting Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net>:
Hi all,
I just finished a NASA training session on the Rosetta mission.
During the Q&A someone asked how gravity on the mission's target (Comet 67P) compares to Earth's.
The answer was around 1/10,000.
So if when I stand on a scale here on Earth it reads 63 kg, I *think* on 67P it would read 6.3 grams (about the same as a US 25 cent piece).
Have I got that right?
Wanting to make sure I've got the decimal in the right place.
