Starship Asterisk*

And obviously, the sun goes around the Earth. Look, its obvious! And its just as valid as the possibilities that actually agree with, you know, basic physics.

M51 and M51b are strongly interacting. According to current models, B came from behind M51, passed through the disk some 600 million years ago, was pulled back by gravity, and passed through again about 100 million years ago, to its current location behind M51. This caused strong distortions in both...

Hello All, Some thoughts........ 1) Ice was melted by the thruster from a larger, shallower area at first and then, as the heat became more concentrated the closer it got, a deeper, more pin-pointed melting occurred which forced water out of the cone and onto the surrounding area to spread and refr...

I admit my laser knowledge is limited, but they could blast through to subsoil Which is why when someone uses a laser pointer in a presentation, it burns through the building. Or not. Do you have any idea how large and power hungry large lasers like that are? You'll need to send a warehouse sized b...
