My favorite planet? Earth without a doubt! It's a no-brainer as it's the planet that supports my existence and also the one I know the most about!!
Take my upvote, ma'am! That was ingenious.
But yeah, aside from the obvious, I would say Saturn. It is a visually beautiful planet to look at.
Gabrielle brought up an interesting sub-topic. Can robots maintain themselves? Can they maintain other robots as well with the right programming?
If we're not there yet with that tech. we will be soon.
The original Alien will never be topped, in my opinion.
It was groundbreaking in many ways and scared me half to death the first time I watched it.
This thread is starting to get H.P. Lovecraft vibes.
We will never see it all, and I think that's a good thing.
Leave the unknown to the imagination.
Named for the Kepler telescope that came into being in 2009, the first planet it ever found turns out to be doomed. Well, in 2.5 million years at least. It seems to be falling into its own host star.
Even if it were inhabited by intelligent life, that life may die out before the star eats it.
If we were able, do you think we should try to settle life there?
Our issues have gotten so big and seemingly out of hand, I think people just see space travel as the quick and easy “solution” to our problems.
Instead of fixing what is here, just bail and start over.
For some reason, there has been an uptick in UAP sightings recently. At least here in the U.S. I don't know if people are just seeing shooting stars and don't know what they look like, or if there really is more craft up there. I do know that the world is getting more topsy-turvy as each day passes, so it could be people just wanting something to save us from ourselves.
Either way, these are interesting times we're living in.
I think you found a glitch in the system S.O. All I see there is my quote.
Did anyone see the photo Artemis took of the flag planted in 1972? How cool is that? And how much does the wind NOT blow on the moon?
If they could find things up there to bring back that would help us get out of a capitalist/money centric society, that would be fantastic. That should be the goal.
I didn't watch it, but I did monitor it all the best I could: https://www.nasa.gov/artemisprogram
It was a friend's birthday, and he hit the big 50.
By all accounts so far, it's going to be a big success!
Predictions are made to be broken. (Wishful thinking, I know)
Instead of putting a price tag on it, they should reserve flights for scientists and physists.
That's pretty much where I am too. Giving them the benefit of mechanical doubts.
NASA has been in business long enough to know what to do.
Like a distant star that holds intelligent life, hopefully someone will see this.
I am hoping for a successful launch on the 16th, and holding my breath at he same time that nothing else will go wrong.
How about you..........wherever you are.
