    The ISS should be deorbited 'as soon as possible,' Elon Musk says: 'Let's go to Mars

    Never in my life have I done such a 180 in my opinion of someone. I use to praise Musk. Now I can't stand the guy. I hope his rockets blow up, and all his EVs catch fire. I thought he was good for the planet. I was wrong.

    The fastest-moving stars in the galaxy may be piloted by intelligent aliens, new paper suggests

    I can't believe people get paid to come up with garbage like this.

    Comets probably delivered Earth its water long ago, new study reveals

    This seems to be just like coffee discussions. Every few years it's a complete 180 on whether coffee is bad for you or not. Over the last year or so, I have read a few articles saying it's unlikely comets brought Earths water, and it was more likely that the rocks the planet is made from...

    20 sci-fi movies and TV shows to binge watch on Netflix right now

    I quit watching netflix over a year ago. I was spending way more time looking for something to watch than actually watching anything. And now you come out with this list. Most of this stuff I already watched, at least two or more years ago. It's STILL in the list of top scifi to watch? I mean...

    Will our galaxy really collide with Andromeda? Maybe not

    "Our accelerating universe would pull distant galaxies farther away from our vicinity, such that in about 10 billion years following the merger, Milkomeda would become our entire visible universe." Actually, this has not been settled yet. It all depends on dark matter and dark energy and...

    What became of the flags Apollo astronauts left on the moon?

    Moon landing deniers will never believe. You could take them to the Moon in a rocket, land them, let them walk around and bring them back and they still wouldn't believe it. They would claim the entire thing was faked. You can fix ugly, you can fix weak, you can even fix ignorance, but there's...

    No fireworks on ISS,' so astronauts experiment with 'light painting' instead (photos)

    Missed opportunity if you ask me. They should get some fireworks companies to try and create a firework that will work in space. Something with its own oxygen so it can get some good looking effects. Then, passing over a country celebrating at night they could eject some display/light sources...

    NASA sued after space junk from ISS crashes into Florida family's home

    So what happens if someone dies? Is it not time to update rules and laws regarding space garbage? If someone dies, "oops,we thought it would burn up" just isn't good enough. These things should only be thrown overboard if they have strict calculations showing they will land in the ocean if they...

    AI may be to blame for our failure to make contact with alien civilizations

    "All AI is only as good as the data it draws from." Yeah, but AI can draw from ALL THE DATA. That is physically impossible for a human being. This gives it a huge step up from humans are capable of.

    The first time I read the script ... I sobbed.' 'Atlas' stars Jennifer Lopez and Sterling K. Brown on AI paranoia and their film's emotional core'...

    "'Atlas' is told through the lens of a woman who's learning to trust after undergoing a trauma that's upended her life. It's a reminder of how we have to have deep, meaningful relationships in our lives, in one way, shape or form." Yeah, this is a hard pass for me. This is not why I go to watch...

    NASA-funded pulsed plasma rocket concept aims to send astronauts to Mars in 2 months

    I hardly think NASA would allow a hoax to get to this stage. If they have a device they are testing, then the technology must be promising.

    Boeing Starliner's 1st astronaut mission delayed, no new launch date announced

    Just scrap the damn thing and go back to the drawing board. The thing is obviously not reliable, and considering who made it, I would never want to trust my life to it. In my eyes, Boeing has lost most of the credibility it had built up over previous decades before all these problems started...

    NASA's Mars sample return mission is in trouble. Could a single SLS megarocket be the answer?

    When the moon samples were returned to Earth, they were vetted, and the astronauts were quarantined for a while as well. All this has been thought of before hand.

    I don't see any evidence of aliens.' SpaceX's Elon Musk says Starlink satellites have never dodged UFOs

    There are thousands, if not millions of cameras all over this planet. You would have us believe aliens are running around everywhere, but all we get is blurry pictures and obvious scams? Where is the perfectly clear video showing aliens and spaceships? Where are the objects, offered to any...

    I don't see any evidence of aliens.' SpaceX's Elon Musk says Starlink satellites have never dodged UFOs

    "even if an ancient civilization managed to last a million years, it should have easily been able to explore and settle the entire Milky Way galaxy." Come on now, there are over 1 billion stars in our galaxy. In one million years, they would have to explore 1000 stars every year to completely...
