menawati
10.26.12 | just fold space man |
menawati
10.26.12 | need to be drugged out tho on orange gas |
foxblood
10.26.12 | this is kind of common knowledge. we've got the scientists on it though. if you folded space time you could theoretically travel anywhere in the universe without violating the laws of relativity. whether or not that's possible is debatable. |
Trebor.
10.26.12 | Hey did you know Pluto isn't a planet anymore? I just found out recently rofl lol!!!1 |
menawati
10.26.12 | ye pluto is an asteroid now innit ? or a nereid or something is it nereid masybe just asteroid |
foxblood
10.26.12 | dudee wait a minute i just discovered that the univerese is like HELLA BIGGG |
menawati
10.26.12 | poor fking pluto tho |
Trebor.
10.26.12 | planetoid/minor planet, one of a few in our solar system |
ChuckyTruant
10.26.12 | who fucking cares at all |
Trebor.
10.26.12 | Cuz it's way more fucking interesting than any boring Earth shit |
menawati
10.26.12 | ye theres life on jupiter carl sagan said |
Chortles
10.26.12 | jackin off to the thought of this |
foxblood
10.26.12 | there's no valid argument that can be made against having an interest in space |
foxblood
10.26.12 | we have a lander on titan and no one even knows about it |
zombi666
10.27.12 | In something so big there just has to be more life ( all I ask is one of them to take me off this shitty planet!!) |
menawati
10.27.12 | not only is there life on other planets there is an underworld here with people living and parallel realms called the middle marches michael moorcock says so |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Even if there was other life they probably wouldn't be able to reach our system anyway |
menawati
10.27.12 | damn trebor dont start injecting sense into this |
MO
10.27.12 | we definitely need to start moving off planet, not to live but to get resources hard |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Dude I hope so badly that there's a real Federation of Planets and they're going to invite us if we ever get our act together |
menawati
10.27.12 | of course there is |
menawati
10.27.12 | they are watching us right now and once we discover cold fusion they will come out of hiding and show themselves |
Bloodhail
10.27.12 | i have a confession
IMA planet AMA |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | I want to live on the Citadel from Mass Effect, or be an Ensign on the Enterprise under Picard m/ |
menawati
10.27.12 | fk that youd have to work with that annoying jordi guy and that ugly cunt in the jumpsuit |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Dude fuck you Jordi is my favorite, and I would def fuck Troi as long as she shuts up |
menawati
10.27.12 | jordi is so fking goodygoody tho he needs a slap |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Jordi and Data have the best bromance of all time |
menawati
10.27.12 | nah thats gkar and londo on B5 |
Butkuiss
10.27.12 | Niggas, niggas, please niggas.
NIBIRU |
tommygun
10.27.12 | Love watching documentaries about all this shit it's super interesting.
Oh yeah, RIP Pluto |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | @ Trebs - it's also a massive waste of time and money |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Why do people care, it obviously isn't a planet and should not be labeled as such |
menawati
10.27.12 | gonna get carl sagan Cosmos on dvd i think, its all out of date shit but whatever |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | "it's also a massive waste of time and money"
lol you realize we wouldn't have computers or the internet or cellphones are fucking anything if it wasn't for NASA and the space program |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | I'm talking about further exploration of space. |
menawati
10.27.12 | ye nor teflon |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Half a penny of every tax dollar, such a massive waste of money
Employing thousands of people, damn such a waste of time |
menawati
10.27.12 | no non stick pans withpout space travel eh |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.27.12 | lol you realize we wouldn't have computers or the internet or cellphones are fucking anything if it wasn't for NASA and the space program
And to think that Sputnik kickstarted it all... |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Searching for life and resources, such a waste |
menawati
10.27.12 | of course its worth it in billions of years time when the sun starts expanding we'll have to move to mars |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | When those people could be doing something else, such as solving some problems down here on earth. |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Yeah cuz ending the space program would solve world hunger
|
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | It's a futile search at this point in time. |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | You're an idiot. |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | How the fuck do you know? Are you an astrophysicist?
|
menawati
10.27.12 | not everything mankind tries to achieve has to be in terms of economics |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | I'm pretty sure every here would agree you're the idiot
|
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Half a cent of every tax dollar when like 30 cents goes to war and shit |
sniper
10.27.12 | wow guys did you know the universe is expanding exponentially and is really big???? |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.27.12 | Yeah, fuck war, go space
It's not a priority, but it's still kinda important |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | No one ever said it was a priority anyway |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | Because 18 billion dollars is pocket change, right |
menawati
10.27.12 | they think its expansion is increasing and that its an open universe but thats just latest measurements, they thought it was closed and would eventually retract not long ago |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | When you're talking trillions yeah
Did you even get up to pre calc in high school? |
menawati
10.27.12 | it should be expanding faster bcos the measurable mass in the universe is too small but they postulate dark matter as a bandaid to explain it |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | ""I learned that the furthest thing in the Universe from us is actually almost 14 BILLION light years away!"
not sure if this was said, but if space is infinite how can one calculate that
if you said 14 billion years, couldn't they also say 444 billion years?'
Light travels at the speed of light (duh) so if something is 14 billion light years away that means it took 14 billion years to get to us, and what we're seeing is from 14 billion years ago, and that's as far as we can see, so the universe is at least 14 billion years old but could be more yeah |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | Who cares 18 billion dollars is a fuck ton of money and could be put to much better use. |
menawati
10.27.12 | space isnt infinite |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | "Who cares 18 billion dollars is a fuck ton of money and could be put to much better use."
No one can say it as well as Neil Degrasse Tyson so I'll let him do the talking
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQhNZENMG1o |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | People were saying the same thing you were saying Chuck in the 60's, but now we have satellites and modern healthcare and technology and what not and yeah NASA is one of the most important institutions in the history of man |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | I agree, but further exploration of space is not necessary is what I'm saying. |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | You really don't get it
Plus understanding the universe is more important than individual human lives, it's information for the collective of humans going into the future when we'll all be dead anyway |
menawati
10.27.12 | yes |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | Did you even watch the video I posted, my word |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | when we'll all be dead anyway
yeah sorry I probably won't give two fucks about anything when I've been in the grave for 200 years |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | I watched the first minute. Doesn't change my opinion |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | You don't care about mankind? Damn bro that's fucked up, that's the mentality of all those fucks destroying our planet so they can drive SUVs right now damn |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | "Doesn't change my opinion"
Oh yeah I forgot you're one of those people that can't be swayed by facts or logic |
MisterTornado
10.27.12 | rip sagan |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | "Hey my favorite monkey is Gorillas!!!111"
"umm Gorillas aren't monkeys"
"hmmm well doesn't change my opinion"
"Wow you're fucking stupid"
"Doesn't change my opinion" |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | No I'm sorry I don't care about something I have no control over and won't affect me. |
menawati
10.27.12 | chucky dont you have any wonder about whats out there and think about our origins or place in the universe ? |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | You have no control over your existence so by your logic you might as well kill yourself right now |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | I don't drive a SUV either, and I am for saving the planet and being green. I am not fucking looking
through my telescope in space looking for a place that we won't be able to reach in 10,000 years when
there's things I can be doing right now. |
foxblood
10.27.12 | what an idiot |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | Yeah I do menawati, but I'm not wasting money on it. |
Trebor.
10.27.12 | lol I wasn't referring to you about the SUV thing, and just because you don't want to be a scientist doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able too
And you didn't respond to my last point, probably because you don't have a retort
|
Trebor.
10.27.12 | You probably don't even pay taxes yet my word, and you don't get to choose where your fucking taxes go anyway so why bitch about awesome NASA when you could bitch about Afghanastan and shit |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | chuck i had a modicum of respect for you before but now... |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | To your last point - that's true, I didn't ask to be born into this world, but I love my life and I control my own destiny, for the most part, so no I think I'll pass. |
menawati
10.27.12 | but a lot of the research involved in space exploration is at the cutting edge it benefits mankind indirectly a lot, superconductor research could mean a huge amount in the future |
menawati
10.27.12 | also ramjet technology and a lot of comms stuff |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | Well cage if you only had a modicum before then I really don't care. |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | yeah most advances made in an effort to explore further gives us useful technology for domestic use. as treb was saying, computers as they are now wouldn't even exist if it weren't for NASA
do u want hoverboards or not Chuck geez |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | No I can walk just fine thanks. |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | ... |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | Just go listen to Catch 33 and shut up |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | no the future of humanity is at steak |
menawati
10.27.12 | mmmm steak |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | Agreed, we all need our beef. |
menawati
10.27.12 | hovercars please yes |
ChuckyTruant
10.27.12 | Lrn2levitate |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | fuk i've made myself hungry now |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | when are we actually gonna get useful jetpacks cmon NASA step up the game |
menawati
10.27.12 | had a huge fillet steak for dinner was luvly really tender |
Chortles
10.27.12 | mm cumm |
menawati
10.27.12 | NASA made my steak possible cos it was cooked in a teflon coated pan |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | chortles y r u cummin all the time u have a problem i think |
DrMaximus
10.27.12 | "We'll never explore the universe," not with that attitude. |
menawati
10.27.12 | matter transmission has already been done, it's only a matter of time now |
cagedescending
10.27.12 | can't w8
hopefully they invent mainstream cryogenics before i'm dead so i can actually see it |
Wafflez
10.31.12 | Who the fuck cares. Its all just space rocks anyway. Science has more important things to do than go 20 gajillion miles away to look at more rocks. Like robot prostitutes and Hoverboards. |
