OT: NASA Puts Rover on Mars

[elocomotive]

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

I can't. There's a gun in it.

Before I leave this cruel, cruel world.... does he have white pants or the Papa red ones?

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.

and we all know that if anyone is going to lie about putting a man on the moon it would be Russia right . and they even debunk it lol

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.

Hang on. Okay so the one train is coming from Chicago at 70 miles per hour and the other is traveling from Phoenix at 90 miles per hour..... carry the 4....

Yep, I get that too, Dare.

Are those "Hammer pants?"

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

Incorrect.

Conventional rockets are nowhere near efficient enough. At a maximum speed of about 17,600 mph (about 28,300 kph), it would take the space shuttle, for example, about 165,000 years to reach Alpha Centauri.

The key phrase there is "at light speed".

Why do people continue to ignore that tidbit?

 

[dare2be]

Wormholes are the only way to travel anyway.

You know, in case anything goes wrong.

* 1 light hour = 1*079*252*848*800 meters

Another idea for space travel would involve riding explosions through space. Such "pulsed propulsion" would hurl bombs behind a ship, which is shielded with a giant plate. The explosions would push against the plate, propelling the ship. Project Orion suggested using nuclear bombs, while other proposals have since proposed smaller explosives.

Lol. Can't see anything going wrong there!

I think that we can all agree that space travel and time travel both require the ability to travel at lightspeed. If so, how the hell did Doc do it at 88mph and without Mass Relays?

I don't know. Southwest is pretty cheap - not the best airline, but they get ya there.

I'm sure they would do it if they were capable of it, but people can live in the international space station for extended periods of time correct? Why not permanently plant that fucker on the moon?

Maybe because the moon is almost 300,000 miles away and the space station is closer to Earth than New York is to Chicago.
