Oh no! You're falling in a black hole!

[Ickorus]

Try to paint it in a different colour, I mean, a pink hole sounds soooo much better doesn't it

I'd paint it brown, but then again i would then be killed by the universes brown hole which doesn't sound too enjoyable.

 

[Ph33nix]

well based on the most recent hawking's theory to everyone else I get through apart horribly and painfully but to me i just fall in and chill out there.

 

[Urgh76]

Blame Kif

 

[Count Igor]

don't tell anyone and use the only escape pod and leave while everybody else gets sucked in.

Damn Ninja'd.

Though my one would be more of:

HAHAAA! Suckers! I've got the only escape pod! Ha! Enjoy Hell!

 

[Blimey]

Gangbang.

What? Too short?

Totally this. I mean hell, under pressure I could be a one-pump-jump.

 

[Eric the Orange]

It's the 'good' kind of black hole, the one that doesn't speed up the front part of your body faster than your back causing your atoms to be pulled apart eventually entering the black hole as a bunch of subatomic particles, so you don't have to worry about that.

I didn't know there were different kinds of black holes.

But anyways that doesn't matter, the basic question when striped down of ancillary elements is "what would you do if you had 30 mins to live".

Answer, it depends on my mood I guess. Perhaps be introspective of my life. Maybe try to do something I always wanted to do. Say good bye to loved ones. ect.

 

[Druyn]

Kill the people I dont like, then bang the women, then take a nap, but wake up to see what happens. Im just curious as to what it would look like to watch people start to get affected by the gravity.

 

[PoliceBox63]

Play "Don't Worry" over the intercom, have some banter with the crew, then observe what happens to us if possible.

 

[PoliceBox63]

Or possibly George Lucas had no idea what he was talking about and just threw in a word he heard Carl Sagan say.

I'm goin with THAT one.

Indeed. Parsec is a unit of distance

 

[MK Tha Rebel]

Simple, escape the ship using the escape pod labeled "deus ex machina" that was hidden in a box of hamdingers.

Too obscure of a reference?

 

[Macgyvercas]

Fuck it. Turn this bad boy around and plow into it at full speed. With any luck, we'll either end up in a parallel universe, or make the Kessel Run in less than .01 parsec.

Dude, a parsec is a unit of distance, not time.

OT: Probably go to sleep. If I'm going to die, I'd prefer not to be awake when it happens.

 

[Hawk of the Plain]

Eject and detanate the drive core ( or a nuke if I have one ) blasting the ship away from the black holes' gravity well, then use manuvering thrusters to push the ship clear, and finaly send out a destress signal to get help. It may or may not work, but I'm not going to give up without a fight.
Everyone else here seems all too willing to accept death (and all too ready to start killing and raping).

 

[Blueruler182]

Email home, then mass rape.

EDIT: DAMN IT! He beat me!

That's assuming internet would work in space the same way it does on Earth. Considering that home is probably Earth, and there aren't any black holes anywhere near, it might take years for the signal to actually get to Earth if it ever does. Or it could simply get stuck in the black hole once you're past event horizon. Granted, once you're there, you probably won't care. You'll be spaghetti!

Also, loot, rape, and murder for the lulz. And full speed into the hole, since there's no point escaping it anyways.

Okay, the plan then turns into turn the ship around, shoot it at as fast a speed as possible, launch an escape pod with the fastest thrusters I can possibly get, and have that transmit the message. Hopefully the added velocity would allow the ray (whichever ray it is) to make it to a close satellite and the message will be sent before the mass rape begins. I don't need to hit Earth, I just need to assume that I'm not the only asshole floating around in space.

An electromagnetic ray. Which travels at the speed of light no matter what. You can't add any velocity to that ; )

No, but the added velocity and distance pushed by the pod I sent the message out on would make it so maybe, just maybe, the message would have enough on its own to escape. Of course, I'd probably also be on that pod in the odd chance that it'd escape the velocity by itself.

For that matter, why is the ship affected by the hole sucking stuff in but not the people inside it? Because if it's just the ship affected, a pod is a viable means of escape, and if it's not, we shouldn't be able to move.

 

[XJ-0461]

Activate the TARDIS controls, ensure I know a rough place and time as an arrival location, then get there earlier or later than I antcipated. Damn defective pulsar-relay time circuits!

 

[Paksenarrion]

Fuck it. Turn this bad boy around and plow into it at full speed. With any luck, we'll either end up in a parallel universe, or make the Kessel Run in less than .01 parsec.

Damn. Han Solo'd.

 

[Hawk of Battle]

Turn the ship around, jump to whatever maximum velocity I can acheive and head for the event horizon, then skirt around the edges of it while still flying as fast as possible until I break the laws of physics and travel back in time to before the black hole existed. This will probably land us several million years ago, so after that we head back to earth and jump start the human race a little early.

 

[Rhymenoceros]

Try looping around the outside to use its gravitational strength to slingshot me away from it. And in case you're muttering that would never work in reality-NASA used a similar technique several years ago to slingshot a probe towards the outer planets with minimal fuel useage.

 

[Valkyira]

Admire the view.

 

[DigitalSushi]

Erm, I'm perturbed by the majority of people saying "rape and kill".

Although I'd probably get naked, just because i'm about to die doesn't mean I can't be comfortable.
