Have you seen the nasa advert or clip on TV where he has his drawing on screen talking about how they are going to send the probe into space with its protective shielding., once they figure out how to get past lower earths orbit. But forget that they went to the moon.

You're talking about the Van Allen belt. They largely solved that problem for manned spacecraft and larger probes in the early 60s, however astronauts will still suffer from minor radiation poisoning after passing through it. The probe NASA were probably talking about is feather light and propelled by solar winds, it's a trade off issue as radiation shielding is too heavy for the probes.

For someone that's so cock sure about his beliefs, your very shy coming forward with any evidence. You haven't answered a single question put to you or debunked any of the evidence put to you. So either put up or shut up. If you don't respond with anything this time, I'll take it your a wum.

So does water take the shape of its container, and can water conform to the exterior of a shape.

Not according to Don Petit, they don't have the technology anymore.

They should tell the people working at Sellafield nuclear power plant then, they will all die about a minute after starting work there.

Water always takes on the shape of it's container, it's a liquid. Unless you think they have special bath shaped water for filling baths and bottle shaped water for Evian bottles, I don't see why you'd need to ask that.

If the shape has enough mass and isn't too far within the gravity well of a larger mass, yes, it will.
