I’ll be an astronaut.
I watched Armageddon, I am ready coach.
As I was sitting on the toilet, reading that link, I was thinking of sending in a resume. My cover letter would read something like “Dear NASA, even though I’m not a filthy American, I’d like to apply for your space program. I would be a great test candidate for seeing what happens when you put an out of shape fat man who smokes, on a rocket ship. Think of it as a emergency test, to find out how quickly you could get a lump of failure into space, in an emergency.”
What is this nonsense?
Yes there is no solid proof of alien life, but it is a practically a statistical impossibility for it not to exist. We’ve found 2000 exoplanets in our galaxy so far and there are many others that we cannot detect due to limitations in technology. At this moment, it is also virtually impossible to detect any planet from another galaxy(I believe there were two discovered, by sheer luck). When you consider how many more exoplanets there are to discover just in the Milky Way and then project that to the billions of galaxies in the universe…
The chances for life are astronomically high.
This is tube premise and outline of every atheist vs theist debate in existence.
dont know why you are bringing up aliens parasites that travel, cause that wasnt even what I was talking about
Because that’s what we were talking about, until you decided the conversation needed some retard in it, namely you.
You shouldnt quote someone just to change whatever you want. You never should have quoted me in the 1st place idiot.
(Sigh. I’m so tempted to delete like half of the posts in here given how stupid they are.)
As it is, I’ve just dealt with one problem in here already as of now. Don’t make me deal with more. Either ignore each other’s posts if you can’t just agree to disagree and talk/joke about the actual issue or kindly shut the fuck up. There’s no award you get from the Internet for trying to prove you’re right, especially when you probably aren’t.
I figured I was off and angular momentum sounds familiar despite the fact that I’ve still never formally taught myself physics.
Still, thanks for the correction given I realized that something was “off” with the math, at least in the sense that the speed I easily found was clearly the absolute slowest the ship powered by such technology could be traveling in order to reach the moon in just four hours.
thanks, btw, for fixing that up. Didn’t know who to PM about that troll. I just wanted a nice normal thread about rockets 
You must choose. But choose wisely. For while the true rocket will grant a thread everlasting life, the false rocket will take it.
Can u imagine how hype they were to figure this out tho
Id be jumping around like a monkey dapping my niggas hard af
Why am I being called a troll? I’m just stating the obvious while others keep grasping at straws trying to sell sci fi. How many more lightyears are you going to add, how many more galaxies are you going to “find”? It doesn’t mean shit. You’re still empty handed in the end and still being ripped off and laughed at by NASA. Look how upset you are getting at me telling you the truth, imagine nasa finally coming clean about made up photos, galaxies and so on.Jesus, you don’t trust your local congressman because they are corrupt money grabbing fools that tell you what you want to hear but you trust NASA? Ok
Ahahahaha that troll got the RockB treatment. I see him tryin’ to post and failin’. 
Most people are talking space travel to planets, but I want to know how this might affect our energy situation. Could this theoretically allow for easier deployment of satellites? Perhaps ones we can use for solar power?
I don’t think this tech works on getting things off the planet, just moving through actual space, but don’t quote me on that. Satellite’s are generally carried up to space, via rockets though, then let go, so I doubt it.
I always thought that maybe we can find fuel alternatives on other planets that are just as or more effective than oil and natural gas.
lol what?
You realize that would involve finding life, right?
Not necessarily. A natural resource on another planet could exist that could be used in that manner and not need a form of life to be around for it to exist. We’re only familiar what we currently have available. Who knows what could be found.
As an aside, I find it funny on some level that we won’t send the rovers down to check the liquid water thing directly due to potential the rover might contaminate any samples it would collect, but humans being over there to do so would be a-ok. I’d be just as concerned of some kind of contaminant coming BACK as I would contaminating it, personally. Can’t rule out this possibility…
We generally have a pretty good idea thanks to the colors of the planets
We have assumptions based on that, yes, but that doesn’t constitute reality. Consider this: we’re seeing the barriers of physics get shattered before our eyes today. Who’s to say chemistry is exactly how we know it and only how we know it everywhere in the universe?
Not saying that it’s even at all likely given our current understanding, but one can’t rule out the possibility.
