Hello you sciency/mathy type peoples. I've got a couple of technical questions here. I'm writing a science fiction type story involving space pirates being ravaged by their captive.
1) How would they say the location of an object in relation to their ship? The crewman sees a helpless ship and has to report it to his captain. I have it as the target being ___km in the X axis, _____ km in the Y axis, and ____ km +/- in the Z axis. Is there a better way to say this? Try not to laugh, I haven't opened a math book in over 30 years.
2) How much time would someone have to react to a hull breach? Could they buy themselves time by plugging the hole with a rubber sheet?
