Subject: Re: rocket scientsist was diving related question about heliu
To: techdiver@aquanaut.com
If any of you had ever looked up from trying to 
see up your lab partners skirt during chemistry
class, you might have learned that He is a noble
gas and is monatomic except under extreme 
conditions (ie the surface of the sun, etc.).
In fact its noble gas attributes, namely a filled
outer octet of electrons is exaclty why it is so
unreactive, does not covalently bond to itself
or other atoms, and is so useful as an inert,
non-narcotic substitute for nitrogen.


you really should have known

rockets are for engineers, leave science to
scientists
