holy crap has there ever been a ton of stories about life in space the last few days.
first they report there is a good chance there is salt water and possible life on one of the moons of saturn.
then there is the story how they report the kepler telescope has been able to spot a planet very much like jupiter.
the theory behind that is if they can find a planet like jupiter that there must be many earth like planets out there.
the idea of life in space is something they tend to be throwing around a whole ton lately.
i wonder if this is something they are ramping up a bit to gain support for the return to the moon.
interesting stuff for sure.
that is not even mentioning the wierd bbc clip earlier this week where some odd thing crossed the path of the camera. dont think they have explained that one yet but that one was so extremly wierd.
i think we are getting very close to a major leap in the understanding of the universe.
i do think tho before we decide to jet off into a hadron made worm hole we better figure out how to get along with eachother as a human race first.

:agree:

Considering the absolute vastness of the just the KNOWN universe, there is a possibility of millions (if not billions) of Earth-like planets. However, scientists seem to be blind to the fact that planets don't have to be able to support human life in order to be inhabitable. There's absolutely no way of knowing how many types of life forms exist. It's quite fascinating. :-)

It is interesting finding out what is on our moon and the other planets.Personally though I think going into space is just not very cost effective.After people got over the thrill of going to the moon in 1969 I think there was this sort of let down feeling given the fact we didn't find the monolith or something similar.They've already figured that its not likely there is any developed lifeforms in our solar system,if there's any life at all.

How exciting would it be to go into space ? Getting there would be the real trip. Being there sounds painfully dull to me. The forces of getting out of our own atmosphere would provide an unforgettable experience. When you finally get into space you would be floating around weightless in a vacuum looking back at the beautiful blue marble called Earth.At that point you would feel trapped and most likely wish you were at the mall shopping for new clothes.We were given so much when the earth was created.In fact there's everything we need or want here.Even so If they really want to use space to manufacture,build a moonbase,and use its resources I say go ahead and do it.Stop the foot dragging. Lets focus on that instead of going to the red planet.

I personally don't think they'll ever find any intelligent life in space.It would take many lifetimes to get to the next galaxy anyway even at unbelievable speeds we cannot attain.As much as I'd like to, I don't believe space aliens from another planet visit earth in their flying saucers.The millions of ship sightings and not a single tangible scrap of evidence.Though I've heard the odds argument,I say show me the goods.Besides,who says God has to make efficient use of the space he created?Personally, as much as I'd like to believe it I don't think there's anybody out there.

What is the final frontier? The answer is deep within our oceans and far underground. We are constantly finding new species on earth. I believe there are natural cures for every illness here. It's just a matter of finding them. This is money much more well spent unless we actually DO manufacture ball bearings in zero gravity.

this morning ruetuers is running a story now claiming that titan ae is extremely similiar to earth.
this is just a wierd fluery of space related stories the last few days. weeks.

i do find it odd that despite the many many many claims that there is life in space there is a equal degree of claims there is none.

the vast majority of human beings tho across the globe do however believe there is god allah jehovah ect in heaven.
yes this is a pretty much universal belief amongst cultures. nothing secular involved.
our humanity is also bound by also a belief in angels in many cultures. almost all of them.
its a common theme in our human existence.
i have no doubt that there is other beings in the heavens universe space or other planes of existence.
even the pope recently came out and said to the followers of the catholic faith if you want to believe in extraterrestrial life its ok and not a sin.
so peoples attitudes on this are changing. it seems the push is on to change mindsets about this.
i do have a hard time believing dudes from other galxies fly here in there space cars and they collect dna from people ect ect.
however there is something for sure odd going on with the whole ufo thing.
however i do for sure think eventually men will be able to break the speed of light and i think the first place they will try to go will be earth.
this is a very pivotal time in humankinds existence and the events of the next decade are going to be the events which will shape the next millenium.
it will be a exciting time for sure and i do believe there is going to be quantum leaps in the understanding of space and how to travel through space.
