    Is it time for moon laws? 1st private lunar landing emphasizes the need for new policy

    The problem with a set of rules as you call it, is those in power create those rules, in other words what benefits them, not all humanity or down the road in the future other species we may encounter out there. It becomes ownership. IF you want a rule it is that NO ONE can own any part of space...

    Ambitious new dark matter-hunting experiment delivers 1st results

    What any of this proves is that we don't understand the univers (and the likes of gravity) as well as we think we do. The fact all these experiments come up empty handed while looking for Dark Matter, says a lot. As Occams Razor goes..

    Is it time for moon laws? 1st private lunar landing emphasizes the need for new policy

    It's highly unlikely to become a Lord of the Flies or Wild West situation in space. The technology to actually get out there and settle would be far, far greater than a time when a horse and a six shooter did the trick. However when people start making rules for the masses, it becomes a way to...

    Is it time for moon laws? 1st private lunar landing emphasizes the need for new policy

    If Musk claims the Moon, then he is making rules is he not? AND for your argument, if Musk can get to the moon before anyone else, then why does he not have the same rights to it as say the US or China or Russia? I say let it be that no one can own the moon or any other celestial body, period.

    Is it time for moon laws? 1st private lunar landing emphasizes the need for new policy

    Jerking knees? Better jerking knees than see no evil. Making laws is the first step to taking control later down the road. Space should be free for all, it's plenty big enough.

    Pentagon UFO office finds 'no empirical evidence' for alien technology in new report

    Two things to point out. The first is that ANYTHING related to the government, should not be believed. They lie constantly to their people, why would anyone think a topic this sensitive would be any different? The second point is cases go WAY further than before the technology this report talks...

    Is it time for moon laws? 1st private lunar landing emphasizes the need for new policy

    So we ruin our planet, then decide that other heavenly bodies are now owned by us (well the governments) and should have laws. How about get your own affairs in order and stop worrying about space. WHEN a government base is built on the moon or Mars, THEN consider laws for those bases and ONLY...

    Messenger comets might be why Earth has life, asteroid Ryugu samples suggest

    So in a nutshell, without quite saying it, this is mounting evidence for the Panspermia hypothesis

    If dark matter is 'invisible,' how do we know it exists?

    Space is so vast and as much as we think we understand what is going on in the Universe, our understanding is very limited. Gravity as you mentioned might very well be the culprit. Our understanding of gravity, when boiled down is what we know here in our little sector of the universe. The way...

    If dark matter is 'invisible,' how do we know it exists?

    I agree. I think it is a clutching at straws scenario. We cannot explain certain effects, so we've invented something to fill the void. I think it is more likely there is a fifth force at play; or we truly have misunderstood gravity. it's possible under certain conditions that gravity acts...

    Chinese lander find hidden resource of water on moon's surface

    I know this is not the first time water has been detected on the moon, but the abundance of water on the moon is another example that is becoming clearer and clearer that water is absundant through our galaxy at the very least and possibly the whole universe. With comets, meteors, asteroids all...

    Space dust could carry alien life across the galaxy, study suggests

    I am a big believer in Panspermia. I truly don't understand why this is such a controversial idea these days. The universe seems to be conditioned for life. There is apparently abundance of water throughout the universe and the building blocks of life seem to be contained in asteroids, meteors...

    Asteroids may have picked up building blocks of life from interstellar clouds

    I have always been a fan of panspermia and finds like this reinforce the idea that this is how life gets seeded across our galxy as well as the universe has a whole. It also means that most carbon based life-forms out there will be similar to the ones here on Earth, especially those on planets...

    Unidentified aerial annoyance: Full disclosure or dubious nonsense?

    The stigma with this subjected has always been unwarranted. Unlike many subjects considered "paranormal" this subject is clearly grounded in science. IF indeed these UAP are otherworldly, again still grounded in science. What I feel drove the stigma back in the day, was religion (specifically...
