how many friggin planets are there in the solar system? how many actually in habitable? .....
-
2 many to count (we'll find out how many that are habitable if bush stays in office, we might be poor but we'll be advanced!)
-
We knew there was something there decades ago. Only now we can see it.
-
what he said ^^^^^
-
If bush stays in office, we will only be going to planets that we believe have oil in them =/
-
and maybe someday we might find a palent wit aliens on them
-
they can see stuff that far away... but they cant seem to find the lander that Neil Armstrong and crew left on the moon...
kinda makes ya wonder.....
-
That's because they never landed on the moon. =X
And there are plenty of reason to believe that they didn't..
-
I knew a site that explained that it was a fake that they didnt land on the moon. Does anyone know a site similar to that?
-
And small asteroids have hit the moon around the area where the lander was.
-
Fox did a special on all that.

The sun appears so small from that distance that you could completely block it out with the head of a pin," said Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology, who helped in the discovery.
You mean our sun is like a star too? Whoa.
I'd rather they go to another planet than to see another one. We can't really learn much from staring at pictures. (But I agree with pushing it to be the 10th planet in the solar system, a nice round number.)

Ok, we'll just send you first. We might throw you some food and water at some point.
These pictures are very important. It would be disasterous to now know the topography of the planet surface.

Don't forget, looking at the specta of light reflected off the surface tells us many things about the composition of the planet and its atmosphere. It's speculated that Saturn's moon Titan has atmosphere made up of methane and other hydrocarbons, this is just from looking at the orange spec that is Titan. Don't forget to mention Neptune's Triton, scientists were able to figure out that that moon has nitrogen geyers and ice that behaved like lava(although its around -100c).
About the object found: I wouldn't really call it a planet, but more or less a kuniper belt object. There are thousands of planetoids within the kuniper belt, we just managed to find one.

Heh, that's what I meant, I'm suprised the astronomer felt the need to say so.
Did they give up on that space station thing? I remember it was still a big thing, when I visited Johnson Space Center. I would think that a satelite station would come before visiting the next planet.
Its ok to inslave other species.

or as bush said, a new moon based rocket program.

please, no malarkey about the "Fake Moon Landings." Theres plenty of evidence to disprove all the reasons that people say the moon landings we fake. Besides, how hard is it to concieve a moon landing? It's totally possible, even with 1960's technology.
-
GE, the moon's orbit around the Earth is such that we always see the same side of it. Maybe the lander is on the far side of the moon, out of range of our telescopes. lol

Yeah but there is also plenty of evidence to prove that we didnt. With all the stuff that the government is holding back from us now it is totally possible that they made the whole thing up.
tech tv had a really good show on it. http://www.techtv.com/conspiracies/show ... 35,00.html (http://www.techtv.com/conspiracies/shownotes/story/0,24330,3586635,00.html)

America wanted to beat russia to the moon.. so we made up that we landed on the moon first.... I mean The American attitude is generaly to be better than any other country. Im not saying the people of america are that way.. Im just saying our government is.

Why would they go around the moon and land on the other side?

erm? we have how many satellites in orbit around the earth and you mean to tell me that not a single damn one of them can get the images? The earth rotates, the moon rotates, the satellites can see all sides of both.
-

I'm saying that there's scientific reason disprove the "evidence" that shows that moon landings were faked. I for one choose to believe it. Im willing to believe that despite all of our corruption, we still did something marvelous. And yes, the government is definately holding stuff back, but for (mostly) good reason. There are tons of people who arn't ready to learn what the gov. knows, and i guess until they are gone, the Gov. will continue to hold stuff back. I wish they didn't know, Im ready to accept the truth. Are you?

Silvanoshei & eViL - I don't know. I was just trying to think up some possible explination for why we can see no evidence on the moon that anyone landed there. In trying to come up with that, I instead found sites with questions like, "If there is no atmosphere and thus no wind on the moon, why was the flag fluttering?" and "Where are the stars?"
Hm.

If you read the article posted by Neoz then you will get the answers to those questions. Unless you already have and I'm reading that post wrong, in which case, n/m.

I clicked and was like man this is long, not gonna read it. Then I started reading and got all the way to the end. Was pretty interesting and informative.

Hye Pecker, do u think it was all staged? -_-
-
If you think it was staged, then you are probably one of those people who believes everything they see or hear.
-
No, I don't believe it was staged.

I hope that wasn't directed to me -_- cuz i believe it was REAL..not staged
