Great day to u greenfish, Wise is a promising space observer, interesting to see UCLA explains that,
"The last time we mapped the whole sky at these particular infrared wavelengths was 26 years ago," said Ned Wright, WISE principal investigator from UCLA. "Infrared technology has come a long way since then. The old all-sky infrared pictures were like impressionist paintings -- now, we'll have images that look like actual photographs."

Scientists expect to release part of the survey, representing about 75 percent of the sky, about six months after the mission ends. The complete sky catalog should be available in March 2012.

The film Avatar focuses on an epic conflict on Pandora, an inhabited Earth-sized moon of Polyphemus, one of three fictional gas giants orbiting Alpha Centauri A. On Pandora, human colonists and the sentient humanoid indigenous inhabitants of Pandora, the Na’vi, engage in a war over the planet’s resources and the latter’s continued existence. The film’s title refers to the Sanskrit word Avatar, a representation of a real person in a virtual world

Avatar is a great film portraying human greed, as well racial hidden connotations, calling these indigenous people “savages”.
This film quickly identifies the immoral human fibber, expecting to move into someone’s territory, fool them at first and if they do not buy it, exterminate them so we can take the minerals of the ground they live on.

Great story dealing with futuristic planetary colonisation with the intend to exploit.
Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) the ex marine on the wheelchair also was interesting to see how the far future may be for humanity where disabled people will be able to walk the same way as the Avatar did in a virtual environment .

Oh great, now they will change its course and it will hit us.

MOSCOW – Russia is considering sending a spacecraft to a large asteroid to knock it off its path and prevent a possible collision with Earth, the head of the country's space agency said Wednesday.
Anatoly Perminov said the space agency will hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis, telling Golos Rossii radio that it would invite NASA, the European Space Agency, the Chinese space agency and others to join the project once it is finalized.

Earth definitely does not need a hit like that. A hit from an asteroid on Earth could spell the end of life, as we know it here on earth.

Kepler telescope

"Kepler will push back the boundaries of the unknown in our patch of the Milky Way galaxy. And its discoveries may fundamentally alter humanity's view of itself," Jon Morse, director of NASA's astrophysics division, told reporters.
About 300 planets orbiting stars other than our sun have been discovered since 1995, but most are large gas planets that are not likely to be hospitable to life.
This mission is intended to find rocky planets orbiting in the "habitable zone" around a star where they are not so close as to be scorched and not so far away as to be frozen.

Is space really deep or is it really round and reflects inward from the otherside?

Kinda like a corn flake box with a guy holding a cornflake box that has the guy holding the same corn flake box etc etc etc?

Long road indeed...Be easier to travel on if we work to pave it..(or grow wings and learn to hold our breaths for a really long time..

)

Hawking is a wise man...We have evolved/are evolving into creators...For good or bad/Better or for worse..It will be done..We will copy/try to immitate our creator..Only then we will know for sure ,if we can...If we should have..If we are any good at it..Can we sustain it?

What are our options?..

We were created/evolved to grow/understand/explore/create/.
Whether it was Intentional or not...Doesn't matter to me..
I have faith in the future..and forever after..

Everything is energy and information...The rest is recyclable waste..

In 1 peace or in pieces..

Over and out there from here...

Peace..

Right on ! A drummer ..

Hard to find a good drummer.(especially for heavy stuff).Harder to find 1 who knows how to keep a good rythm /flow ..while managing all those patterned beats...

I did the live thing for 10 yrs b4 realizing it is far easier to "virtually" manage a band and tour the music online...Although there is still nothing more exhilarating and rewarding than playing an adrenaline packed live show ..

Agreed...Music is good for the soul..

Right on Man!

I think Nasa should be headin to Mars or other planetss (with humans or robots)..Entrepeneurs/Private tourist firms should be headin to the moon(minus The greedy resource suckers) ...

Virgin airlines is gettin there...

Tourist Trips to the space station is a cool idea...

Good day to you Green Fish, ye NASSA is having money problems, and to have to catch a ride from the Russians is a dicey proposition. I personally have little trust on the Soviet technology, helping men travel from earth to the space station.

Looking at the technology history the Russians are far behind then the Americans. They use old methods for re-entry and that proves their technology grade.
