He means they make some grand and ridiculous claim whenever they want more money for their execs.

Good for them, they should be getting a lot more funding than they are getting now.

So NASA now with this out of the way can we focus more on things like going to the moon ?
Yes aliens exist, but they are so far away it dosent matter, or just not that developed. Now can we atleast focus on something remotely practical.

What the [censored] is with this obsession with going to the moon?! We've been there, there's nothing there!!!

Yes lets just twidle our thumbs and look at fossils that hold no use at all.
The Moon could have resources, its atleas somewhat practical, this isnt.

Yes, you are right.

Well yes, but most of that goes to politicised commissars and media stunts, very little of use ever gets to the scientists.

Yes, all that lovely iron and aluminium that's in such short supply on Earth.

It would be a lot simpler, and cheaper, to just strip-mine Australia.

Very interesting. Potentially a revolution in science and philosophy if it happens to be true. Imagine how religions will face that...

As per usual, they won't.

Very awesome discovery. Reminds me of Spore.

no..........the people in charge should be fired and replaced with real scientists..........not political lackeys. what we need to be focusing on is getting those resources out there that are just floating around and start building an armada. id like to see us conquer at least one alien race in my lifetime and im not getting any younger.

Is this one of those times where we play a game in which we pretend that Spore made any sense?

» Tue Dec 21, 2010 8:54 am

Well, I hope these little critters evolve! Or we can harbour them in our laboratories on earth. And if they break free? Flee!

Because that's what fossils do - they break free and evolve. Avoid museums.

Professor Wright wouldn't lie to us, surely?

...They're fossils.

@Veneno: We all evolved from fossils, just look at anyone's grandparents or great grandparents.

We didn't "evolve" from our parents. Good idea, wrong verb.

'Twas a joke, clearly. :rolleyes:

Oh my yes, here is something. At least making it ever so slightly more practical. http://theweek.com/article/index/212664/the-gigantic-underground-moon-cave

...the cave could provide suitable housing for humans who want to further explore the moon.

Ah, sure. Since there is nothing on the moon, why not make a base in a hole on it to better explore that nothing. Remarkable.

"Let's get building! I want to visit a hotel in a moon base sometime in the next 20 years, please!"

Going to hotels on the moon instead of those on the Earth is practical. Hm. Well, time to buy some new dictionaries apparently.

Well technically to our knowledge there isn't anything horribly interesting about exploring space at all. Besides, why would anyone want to see a binary star system with their own eyes when they can look at pictures of it taken from a telescope here. For that matter, why explore at all? There isn't anything we should bother with out there anyway.

:rolleyes:

Slippery slopes are slippery, non sequiturs are non-following.

We've already been on the moon and thoroughly checked it out and know that there is nothing interesting on it. For the rest of the universe we don't know that.

*brain failure*
We knew everything about the moon. Then I post an article. GIANT CAVERN DISCOVERED! I think you just got owned. Prove to me beyond any doubt we know 100% everything there is to ever know about the moon, and that it is all boring and useless. Please.

It's a rock, sure. But it's a rock that could act as a spaceport of sorts. Or as an experiment in regards to colonizing other planets.

I give you a ball of, say, clay. I let you prod it, look at it, touch it, smell it and whatever you want to do with it until you conclude that there is absolutely nothing interesting about it. Then I poke a hole in it with my pinky finger. Would you think that it is now suddenly more interesting?

No, I am not saying that the cave on the moon wasn't there before. Although it would have been fun if your further argument was based on picking on that, but that would've been too easy - I'll play fair.
