bishopshodan Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Two black holes got together. Real big. Large gravitational waves, these ones oscillate as they are made up of only 5 or 6 waveforms. Most gravitational waves detected are made up of hundreds. I have thought that gravitation waves may be the key to future long distance space travel. These waves effect time and space, could we ride a wave and dodge the impact that time has on us, since we have such short lives?

Haha, I haven't figured it out yet In the quantum world I think of that spooky connection at a distance, entanglement. Gotta be a way to tap that and transfer info over great distances? then once we can upload them...consciousnesses. Boom, we are intergalactic. Edit: Read a bit about ZPE last night. Cool, want to learn more. Edited September 18, 2020 by bishopshodan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Those Russkies...... https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/18/world/venus-russian-planet-scn-scli-intl/index.html Quote No longer confined to territories here on Earth, Russia has now staked its claim on Venus, saying it is a "Russian planet." This week, Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Russian space corporation Roscosmos, revealed that the country plans to send its own mission to Venus in addition to "Venera-D," the planned joint mission with the US, the Russian state news agency TASS reported. Rogozin was addressing reporters at the HeliRussia 2020 exhibition, an international expo of the helicopter industry in Moscow. "Resuming Venus exploration is on our agenda," he told reporters Tuesday. "We think that Venus is a Russian planet, so we shouldn't lag behind," he said. In retaliation, president Donald Trump immediately declared Uranus an American planet.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 From the BBC: A new high powered telescope in the Australian outback has led astronomers to an intriguing new discovery. "Odd radio circles" or ORCs have never been seen before and have left scientists baffled. Astrophysicist Professor Ray Norris explained to the BBC why the mysterious circles have the space community so excited.

RUPERTKBD Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Moving away from the metaphysical to the slightly more mundane, if you get a clear evening where you live as we approach the Winter Solstice, you should be able to see the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, just after sunset, low in the SW sky..... https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/jupiter-saturn-conjunction-1.5840818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'm really old..... Glad you were able to watch it Rup. In a time where the news from/for humanity is so grim and cynical, it's a welcome respite to see something that we've accomplished as a species that offers hope, positivity and well, perseverance. I totally understand your surprise at the diversity of Mission Control. I think it may be the most diverse representation on a NASA mission i've ever seen either. It makes me happy to see it. I'm excited to see this rover possibly finding signs of life(which is a main mission) and how it's able to produce breathable oxygen and liquid O2 fuel, for future manned missions. If it's successful, I see a full on manned mission getting a green-light. These are exciting times indeed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Perseverance's helicopter Ingenuity will take its first flight. This will be the first controlled flight on another planet, in order to collect data in order to engineer the flight of larger helicopters in the future. It'll also take colour pictures of the surface of Mars. This is really cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terraforming is a long long long ways away, and may not be within practical reach. Food will be produced in controlled atmospheric pods for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
