Ya know I just can't help but wonder centuries from now when we start colonizing other planets, where these conspiracy theorists will be or come up with next. Be kind of funny actually in a morbid sort of way.

NASA's 2019 budget request formalizes the agency's handover of human-spaceflight activities in low-Earth orbit to private industry, in favor of a shift toward the moon.

Fly, Starman, fly! The Tesla Roadster and its mannequin driver, that launched into space aboard SpaceX's first Falcon Heavy rocket on Tuesday (Feb. 6), has been spotted zipping through space by a telescope on the ground. And we can't stop watching it!

The video with the Tesla Roadster spotted in space is my favorite thing ever.

The bar has officially and literally been knocked out of space for the most epic event in my lifetime after this

Is that car on a collision course by any chance? i'm sure they just didn't send it out there and *pray/hope* Right?


god knows what it's aimed at... i have seen several reports it's gonna crash into mars... and if that is true? That musk guy should be ashamed.

No. I believe it was aimed to orbit the sun in a way where it's orbit would intersects that of Mars (when it wasn't there) so that it didn't contaminate the planet but still 'get there' in a sense. Though it overshot I think and will go the long way around through the asteroid belt. Since it's space the odds of it hitting anything are very very low.

Falcon 9 launching shortly. They're going to try catching the nose cone like this:

Whacked on drugs including mescaline, opium and hash, Crowley 'made contact' with a being which now looks oddly familiar... like the 'grey aliens' beloved of UFO fans. Crowley made a painting of the entity, which he called 'LAM' – and his fans later linked the painting with planets beyond Pluto, Paranoia magazine reports.
