I believe the greatest chance for life in the Milky Way is a moon of either Saturn or Jupiter, can't remember, but it contains water. Obviously the atmosphere is toxic, but the moon is basically a ball of ice. However, the core of the moon is heated similar to Earth. So the theory is that underneath the layer of ice on the surface there could be an ocean and life similar to what we have at the bottom of our oceans, surviving using the heat generated from the core.

Bigger triumph for humanity: Moon landing or Mars landing?

has to be moon right? putting people on the backlot of paramount for all the world to see is something unique that they pulled it off.


Im sorry what was the question?

Whose to say that a completely different species evolved on a different planet immune to whatever toxins are out there. Perhaps it doesn't need water. Doesn't have to be similar to humans or what we know. We evolved here, no reason to think an entirely different life form evolved elsewhere with different needs to survive.

I saw something that at light speed it would take like 1000 years to get to our nearest star. Yeah, there is life out there

It's so crazy... Theres gotta be something out there.

With the size of the universe it's almost a certainty that there is some other life out there. Probably intelligent life too.

I wish I had DS's brain, I so would have went into the science field.

Moon landing... so far. When we put actual people on Mars, then it will be more impressive.

I have a perfect way to make the costs pay for themselves and do something with the Occupy people.

We need to start a Deep Space Squatter's Program. Send some of them to Mars (ahhh hot... ahhh cold) and Venus (steamy!) so we an adversely possess some of these planets for the U.S. That way, when Earth becomes uninhabitable, we hold all the cards and own all the property on the human race's new home.

Occupiers have shown an ability to stay in one place, they survive on meager amounts of food/money, and many of them already have beads that can be used to barter for large swaths of land with the natives. They are perfectly qualified for DSSP service!!

Get to work, hippies!

I am really looking forward to this. Morgan Freeman has the best narrative voice.

Prometheus man... Prometheus

Our experience of God may be exclusively confined to our brains. But since our brains are where we experience reality, does imagining God make God real? One neuroscientist is trying to find the answer by peering into the human mind, and seeing what God really looks like!

I can save them the time... uh... human, tall guy, big beard, grey hair, fairly jacked, likes to sit on clouds. Race: varies.

Still haven't seen it. I will soon though.

Umm, shut your lying mouth. My God looks like a Smurf.

lol, stole this from the WC Olympics thread.

That can't be right. Our nearest star (Alpha Centauri) is 4.3 light-years away...so traveling at light speed, it would take (if my math is correct) 4.3 years to get there.

What you read must have been at sub-light speeds.

I'm actually with you on that one. I still haven't read a straight answer that makes sense about how they were able to overcome the radiation in space. I can tell you that having shadows that don't line up with the one and only light source it a pretty big giveaway. Where the hell did the wind come from? I went to space camp, I know this shit.

Well....that is disappointing.
