Very philosophical of you. I sometimes wonder if perhaps there are intelligent beings somewhere that can understand infinite values, even though we cannot.

Astronomers Detect a Possible Signature of Life on a Distant Planet

I believe that's what Einstein said, but I still question how any of us could possibly know.
My understanding of science is that it's an attempt to explain what we observe. It seems like these days, astrophysics speculate on black holes and all sorts of things that we do not observe. It's like what you wrote - science fiction.

Of course your opinion matters! - just not to me.
Trump - always the one to take away funding for learning and exploration… redirects the $ to the corrupt companies instead. Sorry, E.T, you don’t have any oil!
Well. It's a Christopher Bitchens thread.
I like Christina Bitchens better. It highlights her femininity.

Well, that's how science works. You start with a hypothesis, some develop theorems and proofs then sit back and wait for someone smarter to come shoot them down. If I were Einstein I wouldn't be changing my shorts just yet. Nobody is travelling to the edge of the universe to find out, that's fer sure
Well. He's a dude that admitted to sucking cock on this forum. Call him a lady if you want, I'll call him a faggot.

Congrats on being both lazy and retard, while being proud of it
Too long didn't read.No they didn’t unfortunately
While I agree that NASA, like almost all government research, can become bloated and inefficient but that doesn’t mean we should just scrap it altogether. It’s like cutting off your leg for a sprained ankle.
Space research and exploration helps us invent things that are very useful here on earth. The more advanced it gets the more it will help us.
What do you mean specifically ? What about the ocean?
Yea she’s adorable and that fact she’s a scientist just kicks up the sexiness to 11 for me.
It’s not “shitting on” Trump it’s reporting a fact. Of course saying the negative truth about Trump is “shitting on” because he is your cult leader.

It’s not hate directed toward trump. It’s a simple fact they stated.

I agree that you have to be careful with science being reported by news organizations. It can be very misleading sometimes but to say nothing they ever say comes true or is proven is false. This reporting seems to be good and they even say in the article that it’s not proven as a fact yet so it’s something to keep an eye on.

Why are you posting fake replies sabu, come on dude.
This is a fact that you posted about sucking a dudes dick.
If I want to stay informed about anything, it won't be in a thread from a pole-smoker on a gore site.

I know not to believe the cover up story in re: Roswell, Project Mogul, etc., & while I agree space exploration & those endeavors is still worthy for all Earthlings, so is Ocean Exploration but, budgets haven't reflected this very equally over the past almost 100 years. Had more financial resources been allocated with exploration & understanding of Earth's Oceans it would've have benefitted humankind better IMO.
If extraterrestrials were to travel to earth, from a civilization many, many light years away, they would do so by bending (or "warping") the space-time continuum...thus drastically reducing the distance, and making the time factor very negligible for traveling immense distances.
Bending the space-time continuum to travel immense distances in a very negligible amount of time is mathematically possible within the framework of Einstein's Theory Of General Relativity. So traversing space in such a manner is within the laws of physics.
Theoretical physicists use the term "Warp Drive" for the technological means that would be necessary to bend the space-time continuum and traverse space in such a manner.
I'll also add here, I've always been quite impressed with Gene Roddenberry, the guy who created the 1960's TV series "Star Trek."
Not only did he do a lot of research on his own, but he also sought out and consulted with physicists.
Thus, Rooddenberry was well aware of the theoretical "Warp Drive" that would be used to bend the space-time continuum and travel immense distances in a negligible amount of time.
You'll often hear Captain Kirk say something such as..."Warp Factor Two Mr. Sulu."

Yes I’ve looked that stuff up, FTL travel and so far it’s all theoretical. We don’t know that wormholes exist,They are hypothetical. Also as far as we know matter, meaning a spaceship and aliens, can’t move at faster than light.
I wish we would could build a machine that makes wormholes but first we have to show they exist.
Also there is something physics, I can’t remember the name. But the people traveling close to the speed of light the trip will be fast for them but many thousands of years would have passed on earth. Relativity I think it’s called.
So there is major problems with FTL travel apparently.

Yea but going deep into the oceans is almost as hard as going to space no? To mine resources and stuff from the ocean floor I’m assuming are the benefits you have in mind?
Subspace rifts in the time-space fabric are a theoretical concern, though. Meaning folds in space-time to traverse distances comes with a cost, at the peril of destroying our own time line.

There's definite obstacles just like space travel sure but, it's been left more to private companies as far as exploration (usually semi-financed by big oil companies because they can afford it yes but, their scientists make discoveries of all kinds too...) since much happens in what's considered international waterways maybe it has to be done that way versus a government controlled fleet doing it? But studies of aquatic species, ecology, topography, etc. Studies of the planet Earth underwater, is of more interest in a way and value, to humankind, because water quality is important too, especially human impact on water, etc., moreso because humankind is more dependent upon water & it's inhabitants (since humans eat fish & other water born creatures and must have water) for survival.
Space travel is now mostly important to military and governments for satellites and control of them & the intel that can be aquired using them, as well as how they can be outfitted with weapons. Soon there'll be a large US aircraft carrier sized ship our US Space Force will operate too. 🤷♀️
