Why do folks assume aliens will come to wipe us out? They may not think anything like humans.

However, when it comes to battery life, Voyager 1 has a leg up on the iPhone (and just about any other consumer electronic, for that matter). The spacecraft has a plutonium power supply that boasts an 88-year half life, meaning we'll stay in touch for years.

cotdamn ..... imagine never charging your batteries again ...

where is GZA with that Dark Matter album?? ...... :waiting:

Use your PINEAL GLAND to imagine the look on these DEVILS' faces when they get outside the solar system and find African Olmec statues. We were there FIRST. Yuri Gagarin was BLACK. Knowledge is POWER.

i find that hard to believe in 2013 i think even remote tribes know of the outside world at this point

We've just recently made contact with people we've never contacted before and there are others.... we know about but haven't contacted. Not that I think we should try to contact them...

yeah.. what state do u live in?

 

[Blackking]

Most uncontacted communities are located in densely forested areas in South America, New Guinea and India.


Anyway, we don't know anything about beings on other planets, intelligence produces feelings and feelings produce fukkery (from what we know)... I'm always about taking care of home first.... so if push comes to shove, I would hope we are more advanced.

I hate politics when it comes to science. NASA's budget should be far greater than what it is. There should be funding dedicated to research a new energy source for exploration.

Up to 70% of all people on earth live near a coast, so that leaves a lot of landlocked territory we haven't yet explored. Who knows that's in the deep forests or jungles or deserts.

crazy. did they mention how fast its traveling? if data is being sent back at x speed i sure they know.

35,000mph, I think. It varies, I think, cos of gravitational pull/push from nearby planets and stars
