anyone seen Apollo 18 yet? *SPOILERS* i saw it - pretty creepy like Blair Witch on the moon. which a big dollop of Alien (the Company like DoD) and Red Planet (the creatures and climax with the Russian ship) what did everyone think of the creatures? how could those rock spiders live on the...

yeah maybe we are being watched right now millions of years in the future by our ancestors on planet X in another galaxy

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U5OmWgNVk8k/RzZIYQNbhDI/AAAAAAAAAJo/WeH9PPdPrUk/s400/Empire+Strikes+Back+finale.jpg what one was that? i used to wonder why exactly they put that in there at the end (beyond the fact it looks pretty) i mean you never see any other stuff like that in star wars beyond...

thanks for the links - i didnt know anything about those missions thanks "The part that matters though is if you are going to make a difference rather than dream (; " heh i wouldn't know where to begin...guess I am just a dreamer...

true all that stuff is really important as well. it just sort of hit me today - not so much about potential catastrophes that could wipe us out - but that its all out there now, real time. like think of Mars the surface. its there now..same with anything. its mind blowing man! its a pity we...

what i mean is its so easy to forget that there's Mars or whatever planet and the surface is just there , barren, waiting - actually now right this second...for real. not to mention other planets, galaxies, black holes, other civilizations, maybe other dimentions and universes, all kinds of...

will they ever make telescopes where the image is powerful enough to check out the surfaces of planets (real time) so we can see if there's life on them and also can see into other galaxys and maybe even pass through black holes and stuff? (not the actual telescope - i mean the image) we...

yeah and he wrote Contact which got made into an OK but couldve been better film heh i wonder if Brian Cox is working on a novel right now

thanks for the replies. i really must read up about all this - Carl Sagans Cosmos would be a good start i think

We are all living on a big round ball of rock that circles (along with other balls of rock) a large ball of fire This large ball of fire circles whatever is at the centre of our galaxy and that galaxy circles around the universe with other galaxies By this reckoning it seems to me that its...

wonder how they managed to figure out what the world looked like (that globe for example) without any external reference?

Thanks for the responses! a couple of further queries: Would you say the common late 19th century man would have at least had an idea of what the Earth looked like in any way at all? - i.e. was there ever an artists impression of the Earth (garnered from maybe hot air balloon flight)...

the late 19th century - were people aware of all the planets? did anyone have any idea of what the Earth looked like? the moon? other planets? when did someone first see the Earth and all the continents? what about telescopes...how were they in the late 1880s? could your average joe look at...

thanks for the responses hmmm maybe stick with the comet thing as i quite like that but a comet that's comprised of special supernova anti matter dust or something LOL man i don't know (hey it worked for the new star trek movie - red matter) ...maybe a comet that's come from a supernova...

could anything like an huge huge huge explosion of matter create a WH then? I am talking in Science Fiction terms here of course... say for example...an asteroid or comet hit - I am talking BIG - like a dino ELE one
