  1. In the future NASA is going to be stretching very far to come up with acronyms for every craft. As for returning the sample to Earth, that sounds pretty cool, although it's also the start to quite a few sci-fi horror movies.

  2.  @Tinman97301  Technically it's a tetrahedron, so four triangles, but otherwise, yeah.

  3.  @deek0146  I find this comment thread shocking. I had no idea there were so many people who don't pay attention to the world around them so much that they don't even know which direction the Sun is going to be in. If they were lost in the woods they'd all die.

  4.  @getsideways7257  Dual booting what though? If it's Arch then great job, weird job booting both Arch and Ubuntu, but great job all the same. If on the other hand it's Windows, then for shame, and you must walk through a gauntlet of rotten food throwers while wearing no clothes.

  5. That would be awesome. Can you imagine them powering a water collector using that energy. Generating all the heat they need to melt the ice and possibly if there's extra performing electrolysis on the water to make deuterium.

  6. They're going to need significantly more points to prove anything, not just pulsars, but observations of them. Maybe landing multiple probes on the surface of multiple planets in the solar system would be a good start, but we also need some observations from at least the next system over.

  7. Yeah, that'd be a neat series. Out of curiosity, why do you have your setup b64 encoded as your ID?

  8. Considering the intelligence of the average human, aliens are wise to not interact with them.

  9. The thing to remember is that it's all just waves. Sound is merely the vibration of a medium that allows us to interpret it. While everything that occurs will cause vibrations of one form or another, the sound clips you've played here are a translation of one form of vibration to another and a scaling down of the noise level of those vibrations.

  11.  @themagicdragon2011  One now, but some comments have disappeared. Probably too embarrassed to leave them up. Or who knows, maybe YouTube shadowed them like they do half the time. When I made my comment there were at least 5. I realize it can be difficult to read a calendar and the temporal information attached to a given post, but this whole thread started two weeks ago.

  12. Pluto is a planet. It has its own atmosphere, it's naturally occurring and it orbits a star.

  13. I wonder if humans will ever travel to Mars, or maybe even beyond. For that matter, will humans ever develop FTL technology.

  14.  @charlesbrightman4237  A lot of our math is based on inventing language to describe what's observed. Yes, I'm calling math a language, and it's incomplete like my answer. There are certain assumptions inherent in the math which might wipe out everything we think we know if they're ever proven incorrect, but for now things mostly work. Time and space are kind of unknown and I've yet to see an experiment which validly explains them, though I've seen experiments which people think explain them. I think the majority of your questions are either answered by one answer or won't be adequately answered until long after we're all dead. Although, to circle back around to the photon, it's not the expanding of space that causes the red shift but rather the travel of the photon through space. Whether that means anything regarding propulsion I couldn't say, but presumably every particle decays and regardless of whether a photon is considered a particle or not, it will decay too.

  15.  @getsideways7257  As a KDE user, I resemble that remark. :(

  16.  @Deploracle  Okay, so where did the 336 hours figure come from? Was it just random?

  17. These aren't really the final images we'll see though, just the final from New Horizons. And I don't care what anybody says, it has an atmosphere and it orbits a star, therefore it's a planet. Anything else is the wrong definition.

  18.  @astrumspace  This was pretty cool. I hadn't seen the earlier videos and only had a passing knowledge of this mission, so this was all new to me.

  19. Speculative history is probably the worst kind. It has this aura of reality, but it's little more than guesswork based on incomplete evidence. People look at it and think it's real when it confirms their biases, but they're fooling themselves. Oh well, modern science, what are you going to do.

  20. I'd say if it advanced science at all then it was worth it, and from the sounds of things, it did and was. You bring up an interesting point about maintenance, and I wonder, why don't they build a giant telescope in space and man it with a small crew. One might suggest the ISS as a platform for a telescope, but I'm thinking farther out and with facilities to provide full time permanent habitation. Hydroponically grown vegetables and spinning segments for artificial gravity.

  21. Most disliked indeed. Disliked by the alarmists who want to control everyone with scare tactics, and disliked by the realists who know that the charts have been manipulated by the "scientists" "collecting" the data and the results can't be anything more than fraud.

  22.  @Allan_aka_RocKITEman  Easily one of the top 10 movies.

  23.  @charlesbrightman4237  With regards to the energy in a red shift, it dissipates in all directions. For all the rest, good questions.

  24. Obviously it's a comet with a gas that's not visible to the naked eye. I wouldn't call that a dark comet, but then modern day scientists are like children at times.

  25. The only regulation space needs is for people to not leave debris that will cause problems for other travelers. No other regulation is necessary or desired.

  26. If your wi-fi really sucks then I'd suggest you get a secondary router and connect it via an ethernet cable, through the ceiling is easiest generally, and connect the new router closer to where you do the most things. Many people recommend those little repeater boxes that you waste an electrical outlet plugging in everywhere, but it just adds more interference for the wi-fi and is yet another device that needs to be rebooted once a month because all networking equipment sucks.

  27.  @nunofoo8620  Or grow a brain and realize that sometimes people round numbers up instead of specifying to the very last digit. What's more, who says anyone is accurate on the age of the Earth when they're all just guessing based on short term observations and extrapolating an insane amount.

  28.  @Deploracle  Is that how long they've estimated it'll take to complete a base?

  29.  @andretokayuk8100  Sure, NASA has been working at a glacial pace, but come on, Elon isn't going to accomplish that goal within the next 10 years, if at all, and NASA is already going to be back before then.

  30.  @Deploracle  Aha, okay, probably should've realized that when one factor was 7.

  31.  @blackhoror  I'm not sure what that value is, but it appears to be a 64 bit number: 0xcabaec7df7df7dad, 14608248367103311277, -3838495706606240339 in hex, unsigned base 10 and signed base 10; Unless that was just random effluent.

  32. If they figure out how ball lightning works, can I finally pull off a Hadouken in real life? Also, does anyone else see a scary ghost face at 10:00 ?

  33. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is no Fermi paradox. It's just random guesswork as to whether there might be alien life out there. No human can possibly know if or how much alien life might exist without a full survey which humans certainly can't do. Humans might never reach another star system, and alien life might never make direct contact, but humans will never know for certain until it happens. Of course if there's an afterlife then humans, collectively, would know when the entirety of civilization dies, which given current events doesn't seem so far off, but if there's not then no human will ever know for sure.

  34. If it occurs in our lifetimes, it'll take out most satellites, maybe all, but we'll just put up new ones with better shielding. Skin cancer rates would surely increase as would the warmth of the planet, but if all life wasn't destroyed before over 183 times of it happening, then no one should really be worried because obviously humans will live.

  35. I would like to propose a different term. Since we pair audio and visual, and visualization is converting something to a visual medium, we should use audification for converting something to an aural medium.

  36. Wouldn't throwing nuclear material into the sun cause some insane solar flares, possibly with enough material, would it not cause a nova eventually?

  38.  @colinsmith2005  Sadly, you're not the only one. A goodly portion of my posts are either shadowed or outright deleted. If there's few enough comments you can usually see all the shadowed ones by sorting by newest, but once you get above a certain threshold you might as well give up.

  39. Things will be really interesting when scientists figure out how to shield from radiation electronically.

  40. The thing we really need to do is stop using the term AI, it's not intelligent, it has no sentience, it has no sapience and it can't learn beyond the algorithms programmed into it. It may impress you that it can predict words, but that's all it is doing, statistically modelling written text to predict words. People not understanding the technology, and people misusing the technology, often the same but not always, those people will be the death of humanity if we don't severely restrict this technology. It has the power to fool the gullible and will eventually have the power to act as a force multiplier for those willing to do harm.

  41.  @mattpike7268  Technically that means it has no satellite and they both orbit a star together. It still has an atmosphere and orbits a star as well as is naturally occurring, ergo, planet.

  42.  @mattpike7268  No, the Earth orbits a star which in turn orbits a galaxy. Learn proper compositional logic.

  43.  @mattpike7268  Ah I see. It's a religion for you. Of course, because science never changes and corrects itself later. So carry on, you're always right if enough scientists back you up and you keep upvoting yourself.

  44.  @mattpike7268  Not current fact, but current definition. It doesn't matter that it's wrong, you'll not be convinced of the truth until modern "scientists" tell you what it is.

  45.  @neldastaco8656  Yes, you do have a child's mentality. Don't even bother talking to me at all if you can't counter an argument with anything more than "because these other people told me".
    1
  46.  @mattpike7268  Because you are. The only reason you're using that definition, which is completely subjective, is because you trust someone else to know more than you. You've done no critical thinking on the matter and don't even realize at all that it's arbitrary.

  47.  @capricornus993  Here's a challenge for you, do some critical thinking and ask yourself why it would be necessary for nothing else to be in its orbit for it to be classified a planet, and without deferring to others for the answer. I won't even tell you to erase all that after you think about it because there are foreign objects in the same orbital path with most planets, but you might want to consider that at the very least.

  49. Perhaps I'm too old to be so childish, but it's funny that the most efficient design for a spaceship to penetrate space is that of a penis.

  50.  @NorthernChev  Not to lend any credence to the idiot, but we have actually lost more people due to drug overdoses than we did in Viet Nam. Even if you only count specifically fentanyl, that still holds true. Of course, that's just raw numbers. Percentages aren't as clear cut, but it's irrelevant anyway because war is 100% preventable. We never should have been involved there, and looking at it now, we didn't fix anything because they still went communist and killed more than half of their population.
