We really need some interstellar travel capabilities.

I think this kind of fucks up the book and trilogy of "The Three Body Problem"

The aliens come from AC. Which back when he wrote it was only supposed to have one planet. I think, it's been a minute. Anyway, it's a very important point.

When watching old movies, or reading old books, it's always interesting to see what was known at the time of creation, and what we know now.

I read Contact shortly after the collapse of the old Soviet Union. Sagan greatly overguestimated their level technological sophistication.

Pluto has a heart and it shapes the rest of the planet.

Dead massive galaxy found.

Earth has a "second moon"...for now.

It would have been funny if that was a link to a picture of someone's ass.

Proved Trump right, how?

It didn't. I read this sentence wrong as I was skimming:

The Artemis Program seeks to return astronauts to the moon by 2024, which was announced by the Trump administration last year and has been criticized as unrealistic.

I thought it said, "which Trump criticized". Or maybe it did and they've updated the article since then. Who knows.

Yeah, I saw it a different way as well.

They almost accidentally said trump was right about something. Someone got fired.

Don't forget the historic launch today at 4:25 p.m. EST.

In other space news, first gay man to be launched into space.

I hope the overlords don't get pissed. (Or what that crazy ass "religion" believes.)

I've been feeling nervous about this launch.

Well shit.

Glad I decided to walk my dog instead.
