Now a F*ckin' Space Science Thread

Yea, let's see you guy live on Venus. Idiots. Scientists are stupid!

Venus is nowhere near as fun as Uranus.

[nietzsche]

Women are from Venus, Men from Uranus.

As Obama would say " You didn't land there"

[zimmah]

Dear Science; No you didn't land on Mars, you landed a unsenitent and barely intelligent machine on Mars. You couldn't last five minutes in the smallest of solar storms that frequent the solar system. So please stay inside the nice mangetic field of you planet, that I, your Lord, made for you and not for the other planets, like Mars which has no magnetic field like the earth and no atmosphere to speak of either. Sincerely, Religion's Boss, God.

not sure if trolling or serious

also I thought this was cool

even a difference as small as 1% could kill most life on earth.

Yes but that doesnt mean we cant adapt to a specific environment given enough input energy.

i.e. There may not be life there, but we could potentially live there.

well, theoretically we could survive maybe a lifetime on the moon, if we wanted/needed. however, it would not be as good as on earth, and we would need artificial protection from the suns radiation etc.

also, the risk of meteor impacts is much larger, the earths magnetic shield is pretty neat and should not be underestimated, and our moon is pretty unique and essential to a stable rotation, tides, climate, and it acts like a shield as well. temperature, the pressence of water, and a life-supporting atmosphere are not the only good things about the earth, it's quite complex.

ye, potentially we could probably live almost anywhere in the universe, but it's not ideal.

[Lootifer]

Yeh and thats what the diagram shows really: "Closeness" to earth. Livable temperature, reasonable gravity, stable atmosphere (which rules mars out as you say) etc etc all contribute.

Mars we'd need to stay in our suit and use a shit load of energy on life support; however there may very well be a planet nearby (ie within 50 lys) that might be just a gas tank and thick ski jacket (or conversly lots of sunscreen) in terms of living requirements.

I've read Dune, so I know what I'm getting into.

Venus actually could be terraformed if enough effort was put into it.

I've played the Dune computer game. Does that count?

Yeah well, thats lazy-ass democrats for you.

*angers quickly*
*forms advocacy group called 'Concerned Citizens with a Hankering for a Bygone America that Never Existed (and Veterans) for Terraforming Venus*
*marches on washington*
*picks fight with commie-looking cop*
*is tear gassed and arrested*
*becomes brainwashed and radicalised in prison*
*plans and executes major terrorist attack on US soil*

Nice work, tzor. Blood all over your hands. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?

[2dimes]

Wait is it the real tzor or did someone find his computer still signed in here in front of his skeleton cleaned white and brite by his cats after he died?

THIS IS NOW A SPACE SCIENCE THREAD, F*CK YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

This figure shows an actual image of a sunset on Earth compared to artistic representations for the best candidates of potential habitable worlds so far. The image corrects for the size, colors, and brightness of the star and sky as seen from an Earth-like world located in the orbits of these worlds. The size of and colors of the star of Kepler-22 b look similar to Earth because it orbits a Sun-like star. The sunsets of Gliese 667Cc and 581d look much redder because they orbit a red dwarf star, with the sky of Gliese 581d much darker due to its greater distance. The star of HD 85512b is the brightest of all cases although the star of Gliese 667Cc is the biggest. CREDIT: PHL @ UPR Arecibo.

OH MY GOD THERE IS WATER ON THE OTHER PLANETS THERE MUST BE LIFE

[Funkyterrance]

I dont enjoy pompous ecards either.

Billions of tax dollars spent for some pictures of a giant, useless desert. Well done Science!

[john9blue]

weren't most non-religious people debating about whether chick-fil-a sandwiches were okay to eat?

FOR SCIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[BigBallinStalin]

You could use the same reasoning to justify maintaining the current expenditures to the National Defense.

[heavycola]

Billions of tax dollars spent bombing the middle east into a giant, useless desert. Well done Military-Industrial Complex!

YEAH!

NASA has selected a new mission to Mars, which is set to launch in 2016. This mission is named InSight, and will be focused on looking into the interior of Mars to see how and why it formed so differently from its neighbouring rocky planet - Earth.
The mission will attempt to discover if the core of Mars is liquid or solid, and why the surface of Mars is not divided into tectonic plates the way ours is.
The InSight mission beat two other proposed missions - one to explore the methane-ethane sea of Titan, and another that hoped to land on a comet.

Exactly. However, this seems to be a custom made one by some random user that frequents the site...
At least, that's what I think it is - after looking for this specifically on their website and finding nothing in the non-user e-card section.

DId you expect some cheep imitation? Name brand Tzors are so dull and tasteless. Get real Tzor!

[Timminz]

Get real Tzor!

I tend to agree.


Get real, Tzor!

Yes please. Let's hear your bird noises.
