Starship Asterisk*

You bet craterchains, excellent idea, stellar in-fact.
What do you say, THE
All powerful, all knowing and the all seeing
The Nereid.

Thank you for that info zeilouz I cannot find the words to describe my thoughts on your statement ; “ A robot would be destroyed to infinite density “ Other than to say that you are absolutely correct and that I’m certain your reply is appreciated by many others besides myself. I would also like to ...

This is interesting stuff to say the least, but scary too! What per chance would be the outcome of a very large CME direct hit on this planet? Besides the obvious loss of one or all of the satellites in harms way, could a real, real big one conceivably fry one side of this rock.

want to try that link one more time Harry / I'm reaching the same page that orin is.

Thanks Harry, and you are all too correct. Sadly I posted that before I even took the time to look at the date it was written / 1996 / I wish I could have removed it. Thank you very much for the link though, / much appreciated..

I thought this might be an interisting topic, what say you space junkies? My 2 cents worth are / Gravity beaten today, the speed of light tomorrow! In any event this looks like it's on the real. BREAKTHROUGH AS SCIENTISTS BEAT GRAVITY. by Robert Matthews and Ian Sample SCIENTISTS in Finland are abou...

way cool site makc, thanks alot.

I had no idea about this situation with Harry, my apologies to all concerned. All I can say is that I was happy to of gotten some kind of answer even though in all actuality it was not the original question on this post. If someone would like to start a new thread on possible alternatives to our cur...

Excuse me, I posted the original question “ how fast do we need to go “ Then ask if anyone, anywhere, has any idea as to how we might get our interstellar space program out of 1st gear running at a slow idle and not one person posts any kind of idea whatsoever. Then one person “Harry” at least has t...

Didn't mean to leave you out BMAONE23, who could ever forget youR post involving " How fast do we need to go " Asked by some nut who watches too much si-fi. Dark Helmet: No, no, no. Light speed is too slow. Colonel Sandurz: Light speed is too slow? Dark Helmet: Yes. We're gonna have go rig...

I love this site / makc, mike mozina, harry and chains. The four of you come up with some darn good / very much appreciated posts.

MAKC

I wouldn’t advise holing my breath on that one / A new era in science next week.

Makc Bucking for a job a moderator of “ Bad astronomy “…just kidding But it’s kind-of a big universe out there / And / everyone does have there issues and all..... None the less, I wouldn’t put anything out of the realm of possibilities….Not even…..Sub atomic intelligence What‘s with this site, ever...

Subjective or non-subjective, that is the question In any event, much thanks to Harry for his link to the philosophy of science, a very good overview; in my opinion, of the inherent problems within scientific theory etc. The BBT ? But it seems likely; to me, that perhaps plasma cosmology, black hole...

Three cheers for harry, the BBT theory......Bah humbug.
It even sounds dumb.
Long, long ago there was this real big bang, and that's how the universe came into being. Get real !

great, on this entire rock not one person as yet has the slightest idea? We are stuck in rocket mode, crazy. I've read somewhere that a snail can travel about one mile in 5 days. Now X 250,000 to the moon, 1,250,000 days / a dam snail can make it to the moon. Us 485 million years to another star. I ...

Thanks BMAONE23, imagine that folks. We can travel to our closest neighbor star in a mere 485 million, 47 thousand, 938 years.
That really sucks. Anyone out there have any ideas on the drawing board as to how we might do this a little faster that they would like to share with us here.

I've heard of some really far fetched ideas on how to get a spacecraft motoring pretty good and weather this particular idea is possible or not, I have no idea. But i find the most humor in this idea of releasing hydrogen bombs one after the other as kind of a putt - putt - putt method with the goal...

exactly when will this next pass of that ( MRO ) take place, anyone here have that info. Speaking on the previous statement by ( iamlucky13 ) I wouldn't be surprised if they give it a try on a future pass. I would certainly hope that NASA will see fit to do this on the very next pass, if not a few a...

Thanks makc I am quite busy with work and all but i do my best to understand this polar system situation your talking about. Your responce is very much appreciated though. The FTL post, well it ended in a situation where the US Patent office for the first time went against it's own rule to never pat...

Thanks Chains, always the gentelman.
Q Where can I locate these old astronomers notes on line I dare ask?

Thank you for your consideration


I never met a weapon I didn't like ( Ronald Raygun 1989 )

Jesus Christ makc I am a cabinet maker but i get the distint feeling that you are doing that to me on purpose. Would someone else out there mind telling me if his reply even makes sence, Dam makc, your not still holding a grudge againt me for that FTL ( Faster Than Light ) post of mine way back are ...

dandy mr. BMAONE23
now how about the other two?
Everything came from ?
It went bang because ?
How very intelectual, it seems science cannot answer or what?
Just...................There was a big bang.........................Ask God?

In the year 3535, 6565 0r 9595 will anyone have any idea / and or / for that matter would anyone today like to take a guess on where this { EVERYTHING } came from or why it decided to go { BANG } I am only a simple cabinet maker but it seems to me that yes. Everthing seems to be originating at a cer...

exactly, why don't they aim that dude right down the tube and give us some answers in short order? In any event, now that NASA has finally decided to let the peoples of earth know; what has been evedent to half the world anyway for almost three years, that. Hey guess what, Mars had oceans guys, boy ...
