Hell yeah I feel the same way. What would spark that? We should shady be doing it for alternative energy sources.

The last space race was the result of the Cold War with Russia, when the threat of nuclear doom was just a diplomatic misunderstanding away. I don't really want to relive that. But, it is pretty much the only thing that will get is to Mars, provided Mars has some kind of strategic significance.
 
My avatar is the M42 Orion Nebula; I took the picture myself using a Canon Digital Rebel XTI connected to an 8" Celestron Newtonian telescope. I believe it was a 15 second exposure.

Astrophotography is expensive and difficult.

Still no satellites seen or space junk according to NASA there should be millions of pieces of space junk orbiting space. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but at the top right corner appears to be stars. According to NASA we should NOT see stars.

To add to that NASA even admitted that the images of Earth are composites. The video is time stamped.

Is there any way to ban this bitch from this thread? This isn't about your ridiculous religious crusade to prove how scientifically illiterate you are, or how you don't know what a composite image is. This thread takes, as a given, that its participants have beyond a 15th century understanding of the universe. Discussion about whether or not the grass is green do not belong here.

Another gotten to poster. Of course, as usual no evidence and all insults. Besides this thread was started in January and wasn't bumped until recently, I would even have known it was back in commission if you hadn't replied to me. Sad day.
 
I appreciate a scyther thread as much as the next guy, but I gotta agree with my dude @Soda Popinsky . Lots of people have put lots of work in (myself included before the ban) to have this thread as real and legitimate as can be. This isn't the place for flat earth conspiracies.
 
Although I take full responsibility for tagging him in jest. Thankfully there are good mods willing to actually moderate if things get silly with him here . @RR
 
Aside from the proposed mini probes for interstellar exploration proposed by Hawking et al, I think the next big leap will be if we can establish how to create artificial gravity/anti-gravity now that we have proof of the Higgs Field. If we can find a way to exploit that, much of the limitations surrounding our ability to get into space could be eliminated.

Edit: and yeah, Flat Earthers should all be beaten with a bag full of Euclid's Elements.

Gotten to is just another way of conceding that you yourself are rustled. It's the last ditche defense of an idiot with nothing substantial to say. No evidence is needed because the evidence is taken as a given in this thread because saying the Earth is round is not an extraordinary claim. It is common knowledge. Get out.
 
so we should be getting an image of sorts of a black holes event horizon. did some reading on this the other day. Very interesting on what they think it will look like (see Interstellar).
 
What I'm excited about is the liquid they created with negative mass. The application for space travel could revolutionize humanity itself.

It's really frustrating indeed. There have been many good threads that have eventually devolved into flat earth nonsense and were cast away to the Dump. It would be nice if the Berry could house some great threads about scientific discovery, space, and other intellectual topics. Scyther isn't the only one who hijacks threads though. Every time the topics of computing, AI, quantum computing, etc. come up, Data Breach comes in and starts talking about how the devil is using technology to usher in the apocalypse. At this point, the lunacy is just getting tired.
 
Im still waiting for my contact lenses with zoom capability that they created a decade ago.

I heard this mentioned on a program the other day but didn't catch the entire story. Is this supposedly a capability of the James Webb telescope that isn't up there yet, or some existing telescope? I believe it was the latter; can you refresh my memory?

Fascinating. By the way, I don't think a "super fluid" Bose-Einstein condensate is really the same thing as a liquid in the traditional sense of the term. Further considering that to achieve this effect it needs to be isolated from its environment, dropped to near absolute zero, and manipulated with lasers, I don't see any large scale future for this discovery anytime soon, but very cool nevertheless.

Yes, once you monetize something, it really takes off. Look at porn, for example.

Well, whatever it is. It will take time for sure. But if they can figure a few things out, there is no reason this couldn't be applied to a number of things. Every great technological leap forward starts with a discovery, the real world application of which is unclear in the beginning.
