Cosmos

I saw that on the news this morning.

The woman was explaining to the presenter, to which he replied "what are the tubes then?"

Go read the comments on this story on Fox News. And then try not to kill yourself. Or do kill yourself. Whatever. I don't care. Fuck off, already!

A copious amount.

Fuck that

Oh come on now! Space is a lie! its all bullshit! The Earth is flat!

Ok, no, just kidding, I love all this space stuff. Good thread.

This one is an oldie but totally amazes

This one is a great mind trip,

Yeah this one winds me up no end.

Space is infinite, has been around for an impossible to imagine duration and people think we are either alone in the universe or that we will never be visited.

The reality is that any time from the touchline at the away end to the second to last blade of grass at the home end, civilisations could have existed elsewhere. And of they managed to become space-faring before they exhausted their planet's resources, then there is no reason why civilisations unthinkably older than our own could be knocking about.

Now people say that there could be no alien visitors because of the distances between stars, but the reality would not be aliens popping over to draw a cock and balls in the wheat field and back to planet Zog for tea and space-biscuits, but a Battlestar situations. A civilisation travelling through space. That is how we, if we get there, are going to have to do it. And that being the case there no reason why we could not have them turn up in the morning.

I was reading a book about all this, not some conspiracy book, a book about the physics for interstellar space travel, written by 3 or 4 scientists. And one of the questions that came up was if Roswell happened then how did it get all the way here by it'self? They theorized that it was a small scout from a larger ship - all this is theorized on the assumption it was a true event - and through a bunch of physics and time dilation equations they stated it is possible the scout can fly faster to the speed of light than the "mother-ship" and that although 50 years have passed on earth only days or weeks (i really forget the actual times now) have passed on the mother-ship and it's therefore, if it were a true event, quite possible that it might be really quite close to catching up.

The problem with people is they don't think, they are just along for the ride on the backs of the thinkers.

He most probably has But unfortunately for those more comfortable in our lonely existence, the science is completely sound.

That said, and I am not saying anything happened, as unless I see something with my own eyes I am not inclined to believe it, but the credentials of the death bed confessionals and the positions of some of those still alive... Well you got to ask... why would they?

Well there in lies a problem.

If something like that ever happened it is going to be buried for as long as possible, whether him, Marcel, Philip Corso, Edgar Mitchell, even Buzz Aldrin. Then you'd expect the official government response to be "Aliens? LOL they're just daft, leave them alone..." Again, I don't have a vested opinion either way, it's just how misinformation and plausible denial works and it most certainly does work.

Exact-a-mondo... unfortunately even if the Queen herself, of this blessed land, were to go on live TV and say "My loyal subjects, it is my duty to announce Aliens exists", Unless she followed that up with "And here with us today is Zig from the planet Zog", everyone is going to say "pull the other one" and then she'd be discrowned and probably bumped off Diana style!

Check this out. You are literally made of stardust!

Yeah, proper Andromeda quality, none of that Alpha Centauri crap.
