Pluto. Let's all get down to brass tax

[HamGlaze]

Who here is honestly dazzled? Anyone? Anyone?

Do you get the feeling the media is projecting that you should be dazzled? If they can dazzle you with some pictures of Pluto then they can dazzle you with a well unqualified candidate for president. Come to think of it it's actually been done. over and over and over and over....

 

[HamGlaze]

AND. Who all here remembers that Pluto was declared not a planet a few years ago? It was written off. Is this the "comeback" planet in the nerd science of our solar system? I actually saw some articles concerning the recent picture's of Pluto as a planet. It's NOT a planet as so been declared by some dumb ass liberal scientist. Where is his face now to step up an remind everyone that Pluto is NOT a planet?

Brass TACKS.

Brass TACKS.

Yes I know. I like to do that as an inside joke. Used to do it every now and then under the username of donkeybucks. Should be able to find some posts, threads, along with donkeybucks using brass tax instead of brass tacks.

I know you don't believe me but it's ok. Ha ha.

it's an unbelievable achievement and the first time we have had our "first look" at a planet in 26 years.

We launched this craft 9 years ago and it traveled 36,000 mph to cross billions of miles of space and reach this tiny planet at the perfect timing to be close enough to see its mountains.

We have learned some very exciting things from this mission and if something like this doesn't impress you, you need to get your priorities straight

When you guys actually see the unedited pictures of Pluto your minds will be blown.

Its an amazing achievement. I think it tells a lot about you as a person. You sound like a dumb redneck that would be more impressed if they show you a video of how Slimjims are made. Get your head out of your ass for a second and see that there is more to life than stupid politica. You revealed yourself when you said "some liberal scientist."

If we lose our curiosity, our need to explore and innovate, we lose our way.

He makes a great point HamGlaze. And very well expressed. :toast:

There seems to be a VAST amount of stuff we do not know about The Universe.

Could be pretty much anything out there...somewhere....

Things that Science Fiction hasn't come anywhere NEAR portraying.

Discovering Pluto is totally unlike it was thought to be....after the journey described: "launched this craft 9 years ago and it traveled 36,000 mph to cross billions of miles of space and reach this tiny planet at the perfect timing to be close enough to see its mountains."

...You're excited now, right HamGlaze?

This may be just one of many many Quasars or whatever that word is for what that Huge space is that a Galaxy such as Milky way Galaxy exists within.

Does the "Universe" have an ending point HamGlaze, like, a WALL eventually.

If not...if it doesn't then how big might the entire Universe be HamGlaze? And what sort of stuff is out there?

I could think of other things to do with the billions sent. Ok we did a drive by and took some really cool pictures. Didn't see any alien babes with 3 . Just pictures of a planet that we drew in 3rd grade Again, $$ wasted to me

 

[TheComputerGroup]

I never thought that all the billions being given for mars missions in the future, or this Pluto gig, or whatever all is spent there anyways, some clowns ate pocketing mlions IMO.......

Another thing is, we have so many problems on our own planet, I say we fix our problems before going off exploring on other planets. We belong on this planet, that's why there's air & water......there isn't any air on other planets & for good reason, we don't belong there.

Of course its exciting to see pictures of the galaxy, etc......but how does it help us in living here on earth?

Anyway, IMO, the mars mission will be a complete joke that will amount to nothing.......first off, it takes humans like 13 or 14 months to get there.....I have a hard time flying to Europe for 9 hours, let alone being on a shuttle for 14 months.

Also, its a one way ticket for these astronauts, & they're all picked out from a list of people that want to guinea pigs.

I wonder if there are any NASA astronauts actually going? And not just regular citizens as guinea pigs.
