Now I'm wondering if there are sparks when a ship docks at the space
station ...
Won't both the space station and the ship discharge or attact
electrons though needles, as is done with aircraft? Their charge is
the ambient. I remember from 8th grade (which was a very long time
ago; I am not positive of the truth) that corona dischages do not
require an atmosphere, except to be seen.
Indeed, doesn't one kind of thermo-electric generator work because the
heated side boils off electrons that jump through a vacuum to a cooler
collector? At least, that is how I remember what I heard in the
1960s.
