I just remember reading a book where they took a shuttle around the earth and every 7-9 hours they could communicated with the people on earth as their "next day" or something. I am probably not remembering the time correctly or something. I read this book when I was like 10... |
I should look the numbers up, as I'm not sure of what orbit do shuttles normally move in, but it could very well be that 7-9 hours is the time needed for an orbit around the earth (thus the time for them to see a new "dawn" with the sun emerging behind the earth's profile)
