Lynk Former Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Before all of that... where is my replacement for the Space Shuttle and my Moon Base? It'll take steps to get to FTL and Offworld colonisation and we're not getting very far with those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Roboto Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Note that it's a planet in the habitable zone of its star and not necessarily a habitable planet. Still, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Though there's no guarantee that video games or star wars would be around in the future... and just cause you'd be in space doesn't necessarily mean it'll be awesome XD Maybe at first.

Imagine the horror if NASA lands there and the first thing they hear is "Yousa humans? MEESA PLEASED TO MEET YOUSA! OIOIOI!" I bet Obama would send a nuke.

Miltiades Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ugh, you Dutch with your Heineken. It's probably the reason we still haven't found any signs of life on Mars.

LordOfTheFish Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Very cool news, but we still have to make it past 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Very cool news, but we still have to make it past 2012. Ok, if you believe the world will end then is it ok to ban you as of Dec 22, 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shem Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Awesome! This probably means there's just possibly life out there. I'd be shocked if we were the only planet to have life in the galaxy. When do we leave? Looks like we have a volunteer. Very cool news, but we still have to make it past 2012. I seriously doubt the world is going to end in a year. Now, not that I want to start a debate on it here as this isn't the place, but keep in mind that if you believe in the Bible, lots of things still need to happen before the world ends and I doubt it could all happen in a year. Again, I don't want to debate that here, just letting you know if you believe in the Bible, read Revelation. That's all I wanted to say on it. The only way I'm not going to be here in 2013 is if something happens to me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak Drexl Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Instead of a new thread I'll just post here since it's relevant. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/08/mars-water-opportunity-rover-gypsum_n_1136483.html?ref=technology How does this affect me in any way?

It'll take steps to get to FTL and Offworld colonisation and we're not getting very far with those One moonbase and space shuttles coming right up... (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) Just watch out for any nuclear detonations that blow the moon out of orbit and you'll be fine.
