about 25 trillion (I have dispatched a probe to perform an accurate count. I suggest we lock this thread until the probe reports back in approximately 3 billion of your years)
Given the historical estimates for parameters to the Drake Equation found on this page:

How many technological civilizations are in Andromeda?
Edit to add: My point in asking this question was that, I think it should be possible to multiply the rate of star formation in our galaxy by the ratio of stars in our galaxy to stars in Andromeda. That would be the only term you'd need to change to use the equation on another galaxy (I think). If that isn't a valid assumption then I retract the question and somebody else can have a go.

Well, using the initial parameters gives a value of one for the Milky Way. Since the Andromeda galaxy appear to have about 62.5 times as many stars (lower estimate), and if you assume a rate of star formation proportional to the existing number of stars, then you would have to scale up the R term to 625 stars/year. This would increase the number to 62.5.

Bad paint job? Corrosion? New type of camoflage?
PS - I am an aircraft mewchanic, I've never seen a plane that looked that bad (externally). Would like to work on it though - should be all sorts of fun repairs...

Upon returning to Palmdale, engineers puzzled over why the Valkyrie had been shedding herself of paint on all but her first flight. Although not overly concerned, no one was especially happy with unexplainable things on a plane that was to test the limits of jet-powered flight! Although some observers wondered if the Air Force was being entirely truthful about the XB-70's top speed, it was finally determined that too-thick paint caused by several re-paintings (in order to pretty the plane up for various VIPs) was being cracked as the Valkyrie flexed in flight, and was then torn away by the airstream. During her winter stay at Plant 42, the XB-70 was carefully repainted with just a single, thin coat of white paint.

Yes, but obviously not paying close attention to this thread.
One should never varnish one's garbage can. If one does, one finds very unhappy raccoons stuck to it.
Was that a silly question?
farmerjumperdon
2006-Mar-02, 04:24 PM
Yes, you are an awesome googler.
If your trash can needs varnishing, it's made off the wrong stuff.
So I get to ask 2 questions, correct?
Is that plane still used for anything but display?
