MISSION CONTROL Well it's not every day humanity gets its first good look at one of the planets. And poor Pluto is still just a fuzzy blob in a lens. Reminds me to take stock of the things I've taken for granted, things I've really never noticed before, like the Moon, or stop signs. We like to laugh at those that thought the Earth was flat centuries ago. But I wonder what people a few centuries..from now will think of us? Hell, we still don't even know what gravity is? And 70% of the matter of the universe is a complete mystery. But they'll probably laugh hardest when they recount how we thought the universe started with some mysterious bang, from an impossibly absurd singularity. "Imagine" they will say "back then they thought the universe was only 15 billion years old...hehehe...idiots!" "Hell, I bet they even believed in ghosts back then too ....morons!" "How could they live like that?" s |

MESSENGER The golden age of space exploration will happen when there are so many probes out there doing cool new stuff that most of them are hardly mentioned in the press. Oh wait, that's today. Nice. Doug the guy who started his career at JPL making him biased in favor of the unmanned stuff ... |
