earth wars WATCH OUT

There are just SO many good things about this article.  Nemesis, Death star, star bombs....geeze...I don't know where to start.  READ HURR




It appears as though comets are slowly "killing us softly"  which actually isn't totally bogus (um, hello meteors smashing into Earth causing mass extinctions every few million years??? Yeeeeaaahh what's up.)


I dunno if there's really a Nemesis throwing deadly comet snowballs out there...I mean, c'mon, who would want to intentionally destroy US?  Das sum crazay talk yo.  The name rocks though.

New Superearth

-at a planetary science convention-
HARPS team member:  
"Hey guys, I just wanted to thank everybody for reading this.  I would like to announce that we have discovered a new planet of superearth standing!"
-applause-
-Kanye West jumps onto stage-
HARPS team member:
. . . "Uh what . . . I'm sorry, sir, what are you doing?"

Kanye West:
"I'm sorry to interrupt, I'm sure this planet is great and everything, but Earth is still the most superplanet in the whole universe!"
-crickets-


Ahaha that was fun.


I hadn't gotten to make a Kanye joke, yet.


Hopefully we will be hearing more about this ESO article soon.

We're Mapping our Junk now?

Good job guys!  We've finally done it !

NASA has calculated that we've produced enough trash to actually cause a distraction in space.  What an accomplishment.  

I mean really, "space is a very big place" (ahem . . . understatement of the year!) and it's quite an achievement.  There's so much now, that we have to map it so we don't run into our own junk! 

I realize that space debris is a necessary thing, but since we don't know the consequences of it yet, I can't be one to support dumping our waste into space.

Space dumping is a little ridiculous when you think about it.  Maybe we should think about turning a planet into a colossal landfill.  Oh wait, we already have . . .

P.S. Sorry about not posting in a while - I've been crazy busy!
