Hopefully they are weak and they can be our bitches.

Reckon we could get away with slavery version 2.0?

Heh according to some researchers we are alien hybrids created as slaves for the anunaki/alien gods.
It all make sense when You read about it.
Jim Marrs' book "Rule by secrecy" mentions Sitshin's theories.
Some of the aliens has a billions of years head start.
Anyway NASA and rockets are kool I think. Except for the astronauts hair. That's just ridiculous.

Your metaphor fails because we know what is around every corner. It's an infinite universe...everything is around any one corner. It doesn't take a genius to realize that there is a planet exactly like Earth somewhere, and that even if we did manage to find where it does us zero good. Unless of course you want to form a religion around it. "Curiositity"

So what, we sit here happy on our own planet, not giving a damn about anything further afield? And where there's a need, there becomes a supply. Whats to say if we find a planet, we couldn't eventually get to it?

Fixed the time in the OP.. der.

You can watch live here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/i … ram=public

Tonight: Mostly clear. Low 53F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph.

Space nuke

Mars exploration

Moon Hotel

Three awesome ideas that would be infinitely more productive than looking for a planet that probably has conditions for life as we know it, kinda far away but you know if we could communicate we could go back and forth every, like, 10 years.

How the fuck is a space nuke productive? And by your logic, there's no point going to Mars because it'll be exactly like the Moon just different coloured rock. I'm all for a moon hotel though, we need to get on that shit!

Although I agree with your point saying that it could exist a planet like ours, I disagree that the universe is infinite because that has not been proven, so it makes it a theory not a fact.

You found the logical fallacy, I'm glad someone did. <3

Technically yes, we cannot prove that the universe has no bound, only that we do not know where the bound is, and therefore we cannot say that there is an infinite chance of having another habitable planet. The idea still stands however that there are such a ridiculous number of stars (and presumably planets) out there that it is still pretty silly to disbelieve the existence of others very similar to our own.

True, there is the possibility that there is no cat food in the cat food bag, but we have to make some levels of assumptions or we could never get out of bed in the morning.

What scientist fail is looking for Carbon based life out there; what if there are any other sorts of life that are not based in the Human based organic Carbon life?

Yep, though you have to concede that looking for carbon based life forms is the only reasonable starting place.

Why exactly are we looking at planets thousands of light-years away when we can't even conquer those in our backyard?

Transportation first. It's like cavemen trying to devise a way to get to the moon instead of crossing a mountain range.

"Cat food. That's why it says cat food on the side, and, you know, I have a cat."

"Are you suuuuuure?"

"Yes dude it's fucking cat food. I know there is cat food in there."

"Just to make sure, I am going to weigh several bags of cat food to find the average density, weigh the bag and drop it in your bathtub to find the volume, then calculate the average density of this bag. That will tell me whether it has the same density as cat food, and if it is most likely cat food. Because I am curious."

"Hey dude what's in space?"

"Billions of planets, some are bound to be habital fyi."

"Cool, wanna go see if we can find any, so we could perhaps make contact with a theorised life form?"

"Fuck yeah, that's awesome, think of the advantages that could bring to our own life!"

Except for that whole causality thing that makes  the possibility of any meaningful interaction nil.

There is limited space on the Moon, not to mention the fact that Mars is far more similar to Earth as far as mass (gravity and atmosphere) and it already has water. There are distinct advantages to Mars over the Moon, and vice versa.

quiet you, you're just attracted to the bright lights

I don't need to touch the fire to appreciate it.

Not a bad shot considering .

Certainly worth the $0.40 a year I paid to stimulate the NASA economy.


Edit: .. ahah NASA <3 Me



Right now they are waiting to re-aquire the signal in Australia (our partners )

Have you ever been to an actual lauch, Kam?
