Re: I, For One, Welcome Our New BritSpace Overlords

Ummm... errr.... sorry to disagree, but the UKSA acronym, and logo are rather a mashup of angles and disjointed colors that don't really do anything except one's teeth on edge.
But it's better than the last logo, for the Hockey Series of Antarctica?

Albert Einstein once said that Science without religion is blind, Religion without Science is lame (as inn crippled).
It's true! The two schools of Human Development can, and do, live quite harmoniously in many of us. To insist, however, that these two school of thought should even attempt to do each other's job, is the height of ridiculousness and hubris.

Aye yup... there is a an all too common *lack* of common sense! I really wouldn't mind some of them removing themselves from my specie's Gene Pool (since they slimed out of the shallow end anyway), but it's the collateral damage that I despise!
The old 10-2 Hands on the Steering Wheel is still a really good option! So, unless you have a 3rd hand, put down the damn phone and just drive!

If only Pluto would have used his powers for good, instead of evil...

Hmmmm... no way to blame the Mayans is there? No, good! But the Billiards Model may have the final answer here. Can anyone tell us where this Speedy Gonzales of a star has been in the past, say a few million , or billion light years ago? Can we try to run the orbits backwards and see?

Wow, a scam that doesn't even present well? LOL!

Good thing Jupiter was there to block it for us! Oh wait, that happens in a couple of years ;p

It's called a GPS, and you can buy them for about 75 bucks. That is all you would need to create the crop circles of your dreams... And the bigger the better.

Actually, the group of people that gathered to make the crop circles were quite determined artists, who made a very beautiful sculpture on the face of the planet. Not aliens, not Mayans 2012 Doomsayers, not anything supernatural. Just people who love art, and have a sense of humour! Duh.

Re: The Guardian Tackles the Moon Landing Hoax… Badly

Jamerz3294 — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 14:45:00 -0000

Poor old addled Granma think the Moon Landings were faked, and Big Time Wrestling is real?! You could say that I cut my teeth on the Mercury models that I glued together as a child, then on to Gemini and Apollo. NASA and I were both born in the same year, and when I was growing up, there was never any kind of doubt about the Space Program. It was as real the apple tree in your front yard. But now enter the Conspirators, and others of that ilk, that feel the louder they scream, the "righter" they are. Amazing how they can take a tiny scrap of supposed information, and twist it into some sort of grand, evil, vast conspiracy? I prefer to use Occam's Razor, and point out the obvious. Something about arguing with a fool only makes two fools arguing?

Hehehe... I remember my "daze" as a college student all too well? Or do I? I do seem to have a lot of memories whilst I was under the influence (of whatever) and picked up all sorts of stray, random factoids that have stayed with me. But those boring lectures where the prof would blather on, as if by burying us under a mountain of "knowledge" just doesn't rise up, does it?
I hope Guerilla Science carries on, and brings some reality to the party! :)

Re: Bloggers Must Fill the Public-Science Gap

Jamerz3294 — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 21:43:39 -0000

*sigh* The American Educational system used to be one of the best on this planet! Now, what we teach to our bright, impressionable minds is dictated by religio-pseudo-science that has no bearing on facts, nor the Scientific Method, nor history. I can only *hope* that Science Blogging can help fill in the gaps, but those gaps are deliberately created by prejudiced, ignorant perversions of those in standing. And continued along the ladders of so called success, to the point of absurdity as fact.

Oh my. Here it is the 7th of July... and we're all still here. What a disappointment for those Doomsayers. Now they can't tie together Crop Circles into CME's and 2012. Well, I'm still gonna wear my tin foil hat for the rest of the day...

Re: Arizona State Senator: ‘This Earth’s Been Here 6,000 Years…’

Actually, the Az State Sen has been here for about 6,000 years *giggle*

Re: Space Exploration Isn’t an Economic Stimulus. It’s a Humanity Stimulus

Jamerz3294 — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:37:57 -0000

The entire history of our species has been one of exploration, followed by migration. We currently do have the technology to go to Mars, but we don't have the political consensus to do so. The "We shouldn't waste our money in Space" crowd fails to see all the *many* benefits that we enjoy on Earth, as a direct result of the effort to explore Space. Just about every area has experienced some kind of technological improvement, that has also improved their bottom line.
One day, hopefully not too far in the future, we will, once again, start to migrate, to other planets and moons in our Solar system. It's what we do, it's who we are.
