I had no idea what you were talking about, so I looked it up
https://www.space.com/22379-spacex-grasshopper-rocket-sideways-flight-video.html

pretty amazing

That video actually worked on my network. Thank you so much !!!!!  :lol

Man that's incredible!! The future unfolding right before our eyes, it might not be something I,live to see but to think my kids or grand kids will see a vehicle that could conceivably take off.....enter orbit (or go further) then return to earth is fascinating. Not to mention traveling in our atmosphere.

That is wild. Very strange in deed. I'm guessing in order to actually prove this (meaning they aren't from Earth), we'd have to go sample the atmosphere of Mars and maybe Venus. If these organisms are raining down from comets, they should be around those planets as well. Fingers crossed!

Anything we have sent up into space, and continue to send into space until we start coating everything with antibacterial surfaces (and what's the point now, we've already contaminated space) is going to have bacteria on it.  Voyager has bacteria on it...probably dead bacteria, but bacteria none the less.

I hadn't heard of this until the other day.  The Soyuz 11 mission in 1971 resulted in the deaths of the 3 crew members when their capsule depressurized after separating from the Salyut 1 space station.

Doubt it. They either ejected into space (unlikely) or burned up in the atmosphere.

I often wonder how many Soviet Cosmonauts were actually killed in their space program? Sure we know a couple, but given the secrecy of the era.....I'd be willing to bet there are a few more that were never released or admitted to. You couldn't have paid me enough to be a soviet cosmonaut....although they were probably forced to be at some level.

Planet Without A Star Spotted By Astronomers

"While most planets orbit a host star, like the Earth revolves around the sun, an international team of scientists recently spotted a planet without a star. The extrasolar planet, dubbed PSO J318.5-22, appears to be drifting through space."

In the article it says they were found dead after the return module had landed.

Man....the thing that still gets me about Challenger is that the explosion didn't kill them.....it was the impact of hitting the ocean and even then they said there was a chance that didn't kill them all....that they could have drown.  :(

I remember watching that special a few years back where the developers of that O Ring seal begged NASA for days not to launch.....that the seal hadn't been tested for such cold conditions. Horrible.

If any of you is used to get up around 5 AM, you can actually see it, very faint, near the star Spica.

It has the chance to become extremely bright and beautiful if it survives its trip to hell (at its perihelion the temperature will be a staggering 5000°C, with tidal forces threatening to tear the nucleus apart).
