Looks like China are getting on well with Heavenly Palace.

I'll be pretty impressed.

Do you have a shotgun?

[Corporal Hicks]

Of course. I like to keep one handy. You know, for close encounters.

All NASA and Russia and china ever seem to do is


1: Build Telescopes
2: Send up satellites to orbit earth or other planets...


It's really time to 'step up the game'


NASA need to send a new type of rover to Europa (or a team with drilling equipment)

Get a satellite around Neptune or maybe get it inside Neptune and report back

Make Voyager 3 and send it the other way not the same route as V1 & V2 (give it the latest tech/hardware we currently have that works and will work for 50/100 years.


And finally get to mars ffs....


lol

On about that Flat Earth stuff.....

Farking hell! I looked at a few articles because I thought it would be funny but my god. people honest to god believe it the same way they believe Dinosaurs didn't exist, Hitler was innocent, There was no Holocaust, there was no WW2.

.....Even my OCD at it's highest height was not nearly as insane as these people.

Ironically the tall weird dude with the twitch in the corner is probably the most normal person in the room.

NASA's Dawn Probe Sent Some Stunning New Images of Ceres

[Corporal Hicks]

Astonishing. It still surprises me at what we're capable of when mankind isn't busy arguing over stupid things.

I've just finished watching The Expanse and a good chunk of it is set on a colonized Ceres.

[Local Trouble]

Is that show worth my time?

[g2vd]

Is that show worth my time?

Yes, very much worth it.

If you can get the first Season on Blu-Ray looks amazing.

Still not as good as Firefly though.

[Local Trouble]

If it's a SyFy series, I can probably binge watch the HD episodes on demand.

[Corporal Hicks]

^^ Good show. Definitely worth a watch.
