Aliens Are (Probably) Not Broadcasting a Signal from Space : snopes.com

Quote:

According to science journalist Dave Mosher, the signal is indeed so uninteresting that the people who first found it didn't bother to let anyone know right away. The researchers found it using the RATAN-600 radio telescope located in Zelenchukskaya, in southwest Russia, more than a year ago.

Amazing that two private companies have now done this. In my lifetime, we're likely going to see regular commercial flights into sub-orbital, if not orbital, space. That's crazy.

Starting to wonder if it's going to happen, it was initially scheduled for Friday.

Ironhead 10-17-2016 02:26 PM



As of right now launch is still on for tonight at 7:40 PM EST.

Ironhead 10-17-2016 06:05 PM

35 minutes from launch. Still set to go.

What are the repercussions of the planets traveling so fast?

And aren't the artist's renderings a little off - shouldn't the sun be HUGE in the sky if the planets are that close?

It's a tiny sun.

Being that close to their star, they are going to be tidally locked to the sun (like the moon is to earth). That means that there will be a permanent day side and night side to the planet.

In the Trump system, if I'm not mistaken.

wustin 02-22-2017 01:37 PM

Pretty cool that all the planets are tidally locked to each other. That means if you live on the fortune side of one end of the system you get to see a line of planets in the sky.

Nice but I was hoping for proof of extra terrestrial life in my lifetime but doesn't look as if its going to happen anytime soon.

Not sure how old you are, but they said like they could nail it down pretty well whether that system harbors life in the next decade.

This seems like a major step forward. Now we can start learning how many times a rocket can be reused and how quick the turnaround can be.

Yeppers. Kind of blows my mind whenever some discovery or picture of something new is shown. We (meaning scientists and astronomers) had all these theories about how places like Saturn and Jupiter would be like, and almost all of them were wrong. There really is so much we don't know about space, so kind of wow'ed when something new gets introduced.

Another launch was supposed to happen this morning. I was standing at the window watching (because it's friggin 22 outside) and nothing happened. Apparently some idiot in a chopper ignored the temporary no fly zone and they'll launch tomorrow morning at 7:14 ET.

Eh, I'll believe it when one of the future rovers positively confirms it.

I think a UFO visiting Earth would be like a big ship sailing into an island and meeting the natives a couple hundred years ago. Lots of awe and fear and curiousity
