The Observer Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I got stung by a wasp I think. My finger swelled up like a [bleep] for like 15 minutes, then it died down almost immediately after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanyTheSailor Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Did you ever wonder if maybe we're the most advanced species in the Universe? Maybe one day other species will base their civilizations/ lifestyles off of us? God dammit Seany, STOP SHARING MY MIND" I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin. I'm not going to live there. There's no place for me there... I'm a monster.What I do is evil. I have no illusions about it, but it must be done."

Nexaduro Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Doesn't matter, if any of them are at all similar to humans. If they're that advanced the space program's already been cut. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

The Observer Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I do not know, but we are really not that advanced. Besides, the way we look is accustomed to this planet. If life was on another planet they'd look drastically different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyTheSailor Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 @ Nex, If you're referencing the shuttle being cut, NASA is piggybacking off of private space corporations. They're already trying to make spaceflight cheaper so that one day you or I could go to space. I dunno why everyone's crying about NASA, they never intended to put the average joe in space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_X @Killer You say we're not all that advanced, but that's because we have ideas for super advanced things, we just can't build them. For all we know the next most advanced sentient life form is dreaming of how to ride his equivalent of a horse. God dammit Seany, STOP SHARING MY MIND" I believe in something greater than myself.

H2PM Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I think we're the most advanced in our solar system. Then again, we haven't explored much of that either.

Monk Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 For all we know the next most advanced sentient life form is dreaming of how to ride his equivalent of a horse.You could also use that to say that all other advanced life is capable of faster-than-light travel. The way I see it, the universe is ~13 billion years old. There has to be more life besides us out there. And I'm pretty sure at least one civilization will be at our level, if not past it. Hell, there's even a forumla for it. [spoiler=Quotes]Goddammit Monk, stop being so full of win.I am Monk's [bleep] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, the universe is ~13 billion years old. There has to be more life besides us out there. And I'm pretty sure at least one civilization will be at our level, if not past it.It's entirely possible, maybe even probable that there's more advanced species out there. But it's food for thought if we're the cutting edge. I'm also confident there's other life out there, even if not sentient. @the equation, It really comes down to probability. If there's a one trillionth of a chance of a single celled organism on a planet, then big whoop, our own galaxy has billions of stars, with who knows how many planets, it's just bound to happen.Edit: I understand that the chances are likely even more minuscule, I just didn't feel like going into it.

SeanyTheSailor Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 That's the sulfur-y volcanic moon of Jupiter right? I think probably, even if only extremophile bacteria.

H2PM Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wake me when we go back to the moon and do something worth noting in space.

H2PM Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Why can't we go back to the Moon now that we have better technology?

SeanyTheSailor Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 We don't have a rocket big enough. And it costs a lot of money.

H2PM Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Right, cause we're fighting two wars in the middle east. Edit: blast, can't find it.

SeanyTheSailor Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 http://www.usdebtclock.org/ Note how Defense comes in third for how much we spend on. And there was a lot of time in between the manned Moon missions and now where we didn't go. Space travel at the moment is just not economically feasible on a large scale. That's why companies like SpaceX are trying to make it cheaper, so we can do more, and they can get fantastically, ridiculously rich.

H2PM Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Exactly, so wake me when we do something notable in space. *goes to bed* "Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick." - Master Tang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyTheSailor Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Like how you can sign up to go into space? "More than 400 individuals are reported to have signed up for a flight as of early 2011. [5] Each is paying $200,000 (£121,000) for the privilege of experiencing approximately six minutes of weightlessness during what will be a two-hour end-to-end flight."

H2PM Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Notable as in going back to the moon, or to Mars. Also, that's not space. That's just physics in action. Also, turns out that my street and one other street in town are the only streets with power on. Blue Hill and the surrounding towns lost their power. I'm not sure why or how.
