Hooked on Huskers Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Myself, boggling space distances. Voyager1 finally escaped our solar system (2012). How many years trip? 35 years. Next destination ...... wander the Milky Way, in about 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will come within 1.6 light-years of nearest star. Whoa! BTW, Voyager1 still communicate to earth. V'Ger V'Ger V'Ger And spacecraft warp speed (faster than light) is impossible. E=mc thing I believe. Sorry Scotty. Milky Way galaxy got "billions and billions" of stars (Carl Sagan). Damn amazing.

GSG Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 'Cherry tree from space' mystery baffles Japan This tree was grown from a cherry stone that spent time on the ISS. It bloomed far earlier than a normal cherry tree. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Ugh, it could be anything, including nothing to do with zero gravity, cosmic rays, or anything remotely related to space flight. No control group, among other things, means essentially, "Anything we discover has no way of ever being accepted by the scientific community, so we're just wasting everyone's time with a curiosity that means nothing." 1 Quote Link to comment

DAMMIT IT WENT TO SPACE!! IT HAS MARTIAN POWERS NOW!! Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 lol, well it's cool, I just wish it was done as a scientifically valid experiement rather than...whatever it was. Microgravity definitely does some weird sh#t, I wouldn't put it past it. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The latest Mars rover photo. Bad news, apparently lost all 6 wheels and rims Quote Link to comment

Microgravity definitely does some weird sh#t, I wouldn't put it past it. It doesn't seem like they expected it to do some weird sh#t, hence the lack of valid experimentation. Now there's something to shoot for, at least if anyone cares to test it. Quote Link to comment
