Good!
We're going to need a new one soon anyway.

 

[Boehlertaught]

Very cool.

Please tell me there are no Republicans or Democrats on this one.

WTF?

Today we know that Earth is just one of hundreds of billions of planets in our galaxy, itself just one of hundreds of billions of galaxies.

We "know" no such thing. We theorize that there are hundreds of billions of planets, but we only know that a few hundred to a few thousand exist.

Thus ends today's pedantic rant. Which is not to be confused with pederasty.

LOL you tell those people that they are doing their jobs all wrong!! Go for it! I think we found our new Space Exploration spokesperson, his current work in the field makes him highly qualified to evaluate the statements of NASA. He "knows" everything that professional scientists know.

Give it a rest...


Do you know the proper definition of scientific theory?

Go blow smoke up someone else's Azz

Why do we need to find another Earth? NASA could tell us anything, show pics of anything that's supposed to be out there, and 99% of people will believe it..........yes I believe we landed on the moon. Surely we could use NASA'S budget for something more attainable. Send that budget money on over to cancer research or something, and just privatize all further space exploration with little to no government regulation.

Half a penny of every tax dollar goes to NASA.
