Well, that explains why no one has bothered to go to any of those other places yet.

I can't bear when a show brings a guest on, asks him a question, and then interrupts him literally 5 or 6 times before he can get the first sentence out.

It's all bad. All of it. Poor Bill.. I can only imagine him thinking the absolute (amazingly) horrible things about them. I'm sure the guy thought it'd be an actual talk show and not a circle jerk of inbreds.

It's funny how he was talking to them like they weren't fucking brain dead. "I know you guys are just messing with me". No, Bill. Nope...they're really, REALLY not. Gawdamn.

Terrible interview which was setup for laughs at the expense of interesting scientific discussion. Glad I stayed until the end for Bill's unintentional(?) slam.

Bill: "Mars has 40% of Earth's gravity."
Michelle: "Ok, 40%, so what's that?"
Bill: "It's less than half".

She probably wanted that converted to pounds.  So, let say she's 300 lbs on Earth.  That's 120 lbs on Mars.   :lol :lol  Good to go on that sex tape she asked about.   :rollin

This is pretty cool. If I understand correctly this is the raw tile they use on the shuttles to protect during reentry. As you can see it dissipates the heat extremely well:

Going to Mars is one thing. After reading this article, I now realized it is even harder than I thought to get out of there.

How Will We Get Off Mars?

The first color images of Pluto’s atmospheric hazes, returned by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft last week, reveal that the hazes are blue.

“Who would have expected a blue sky in the Kuiper Belt? It’s gorgeous,” said Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), Boulder, Colorado.

The haze particles themselves are likely gray or red, but the way they scatter blue light has gotten the attention of the New Horizons science team. “That striking blue tint tells us about the size and composition of the haze particles,” said science team researcher Carly Howett, also of SwRI. “A blue sky often results from scattering of sunlight by very small particles. On Earth, those particles are very tiny nitrogen molecules. On Pluto they appear to be larger — but still relatively small — soot-like particles we call tholins.”

Dude yes. Finally. I haven't even heard a second of DT12 and it is literally the first thing that popped in my mind. I was gonna post it but given I'm more of a fan of DT's past work than a 'current' fan, I figured someone would eventually say something. Thweet! It really is uncanny.  :lol :tup :tup

There's an astronomy thread? wow, I'm even more glad now to have joined after months of lurking.

I love astronomy, I find it teaches humility while still showing how many extraordinary things are out there.  Pictures from space are always awesome and mindblowing!

Astronomy = studying the planets and stars and the cosmos.



Astrology = thinking that two people born in the same month will lead identical lives right down to the good luck thy'll receive on a daily basis :rollin

Oh I know what it is, my confusion is why it was brought up, unless someone mentioned it and I missed something... just seemed kind of random to throw it out there from left field.

But I do agree, I'm just not sure where it came from.

If Russia is serious on sending humans to the moon I think the great space race 2.0 will commence and that might be the kick in ze butt the US gov needs. Unless Russia lands on Apollo 11s landing zone and replace it with a Russian flag and WW3 commence or something like that.

Could you imagine how apeshit shit this country would go if Russia or China did that? I'm almost certain it would turn into an interplanetary game of capture the flag.

Speaking of Russians and the moon: The Luna 3 mission, which returned the first pictures of the far side of the moon, used radiation-hardened film captured from US spy balloons (they didn't know how to make radiation resistant film), which was exposed and developed on-board the spacecraft, then scanned and "faxed" to earth.
