Yep. Dead serious. We're not talking about a walk in the park, here. Heck, we're not even talking about a week's vacation to the moon and back. It takes time, development, testing, and funding to create all the technologies we'd need to get to Mars and back. Sure, we managed to do it back in...

Being optimistic, probably closer to 2137. -Wolf sends

"ever" is a LONG time. Barring some magical breakthrough in space travel, a trip to Zeta Retculi (39.1 LY) would require a generation ship. That means a ship, traveling though space for human generations. Humans are born, live, create the next generation of humans and then die. This occurs for...

First off would be survivability. We have to know that humans can survive the journey to and from Mars. I personally believe that the technology exists to facilitate a trip to and from Mars, but I don't believe it's been tested in space (artificial magnetic field). Next would be survivability...

First off, it is highly unlikely that humankind will ever be able to make Mars, "Green". It doesn't have the mass to keep it's core molten and/or spinning. Without that, it cannot create a magnetic field sufficient enough to protect the planet from the Sun's solar winds that continually strip...

I was too young to see the original in theaters, but I remember the posters and the tag line, "In space, no one can hear you scream!" Eventually saw it on HBO. As a long time fan of the series, I like the call back to the original 'Alien' computer audio. -Wolf sends

It's nice that many of these shows are still viewable (for free) in some form or fashion. We have a local station here that carries six or seven of the shows listed here. The only one listed that isn't aired (to my knowledge) is "My Favorite Martian". Can't wait for the 1970s list. Pretty sure...

According to Wiki, there were 20 un-crewed test flights before the Mercury missions included human astronauts. One would think that NASA and the FAA have a safety checklist and each item on that checklist needs to be checked, tested and retested, before being checked off. Whether it take 20...

Ummm... wasn't that The Fixx? -Wolf sends

Care to share any credentials? -Wolf sends

We no longer have the means of capturing the HST, nor the capacity to deliver and install updates to it. -Wolf sends

I definitely had my doubts about it going in. Almost avoided it completely, but at the time, it was one of those movies; like A Christmas Story, that you just could not escape from. Never really a big fan of Tim Allen, but it did have the late, great, Alan Rickman (RIP), and Sigourney Weaver in...

Let's keep it civil here, folks. Wolfshadw Moderator

Ditto. Blank page here as well. Also confirmed on the radio circle article as well. Win 10/Firefox -Wolf sends

Didn't know that it was going to happen and (unfortunately) it's was pouring rain yesterday morning (Aug 14th). This morning, however, I glanced up on my way to work and noticed Jupiter had a nearby "companion". Figured it was Mars, but wasn't sure until I saw this article. Always enjoy...
