Their God is not amused.

This is great, a fantastic find. Now if we can only see the need for science and hubble. So much more can be learned.

Carl Sagan is responsible for getting me interested in the stars. When I was a kid, I had my cheap telescope that could barely magnify the moon, but every clear night I spent outside looking up and wondering.

Your kind are much more vocal about the waste in sending missions into space. Something about a fear of your religion being challenged.

FW- We could have colonized Mars for what you Righties have pissed away under Dubya.

I can't wait for Buffoon_Boob to report about the smokestacks on these exoplanets.

Billions and Billions and Billions and Billions and Billions and Billions and Billions and so on ad infinitum.

You wouldn't believe how beautiful the full moon is out tonight.
The sky is so clear and the moon is so bright.
One of the prettiest full moons I've seen in awhile.

I've warned you about peeking into my bedroom, Chris!

Are you trying to proposition 8 him?

They don't have videos of Smokestacks on those planets yet. When they do---I'll post them. In the meantime, enjoy the Smokestack on our moon. What did you say you saw?

Have to side with bob on this one.

That's not saying that the footage he posted are, in fact, smoke stacks...

But let's be honest for a moment.

There are very few people who have ever set foot or even orbited around the moon. The footage of those events is even more scarce.

To say that it's impossible for an alien species to exist is silly. To go further and say that said alien species may have a moon base, even more so.

Dare to dream, brother.

Googolplex!

The proof is out there (or not).

Neat. Really, really neat.

Chandrayaan-I Impact Probe lands on moon

BANGALORE: India marked its presence on Moon on Friday night to be only the fourth nation to scale this historic milestone after a Moon Impact Probe with the national tri-colour painted successfully landed on the lunar surface after being detached from unmanned spacecraft Chandrayaan-1.

Yep, this is an *extremely* worthwile project. Knowing whether or not planets orbit starts a jillion, zillion miles away is *really* important. Maybe we should also invest a couple of hundred billion dollars into determining the olfactory capabilities of the earthworm. And while we're investing in such useful projects, let's also spend a few trillion on determining why glitter is so darn pretty.

You poke fun, but researching stupid shit like why glitter is so pretty, has actually lead to some pretty interesting stuff.

You sure don't live up to your name.

knowstoolittle-there-fixed it for ya.......

"jillion, zillion miles away"

It'd only 25 light years.
They could be watching Earth TV from 1983.
That should get a call in to the Vogons.

25 light years is 146,341,080,000,000 miles.

146 trillion, 341 billion, 80 million.

What comes after a trillion?

se you all, if not here, on the other side.

Cool--

For thousands of generations nobody ever really believed we could reach the moon. Who knows what will someday be possible?
