Neil deGrasse Tyson on the Cost of Space Exploration

Trancecoach says...

Who said I was an adult? That's part of the fucking problem. This isn't about winning or being right.You're fighting an argument I haven't made.>> ^Yogi:

>> ^Trancecoach:
you're so right. I know nothing about being inspired by the mysteries of the universe, or becoming so enthralled that I pursued a masters and a doctorate, not in an effort to get answers, but to ask wiser questions... And I know nothing about the federal government slashing the funding of crucial social programs that have measurable and direct impact on people's lives -- like whether or not they have enough money to eat, or whether or not their child gets the medical attention they need...
And, surely, I've never thought at all about the hundreds of thousands of orbital debris objects from NASA's abandoned or lost equipment or spaceships that are orbiting earth or items as large as 10kg re-entering the atmosphere to fall god-knows-where (to say nothing of all the hardware that was left on the moon).
There's certainly nothing I can say about the ongoing "civil wars" in which our planet is continuously engaged, be it on the basis of race, status, gender, wealth, resources, or just some petty bullshit argument on a website! No, I'm certainly nowhere near smart enough to understand deGrasse-Tyson, or your scintillating brilliance that you demonstrate in your stunning ability to recognize irony versus sarcasm, and knowing just when to let it go.

ad hominem will get you everywhere... while I play the tiniest violin for you and Dr. deGrasse-Tyson...

Dude you didn't WIN anything here stop trying to take the high road, you're not smart enough to understand what in the hell he's even talking about.


Yeah don't be an adult, just make shit up so you can win an argument. Do us all a favor and stop trying to be a cynical bastard, you're bad at it.

And I know nothing about the federal government slashing the funding of crucial social programs that have a direct and measurable impact on people's lives -- like whether or not those below the poverty line can still make enough money to eat, or whether or not a child in the urban ghetto has access medical attention when needed...

And, surely, I've never thought at all about the hundreds of thousands of orbital debris objects from NASA's abandoned or lost equipment or spaceships that are just orbiting earth or, at times, plummeting back to earth as large as 10kg, to fall god-knows-where (to say nothing of all the hardware that was simply left behind on the moon...).

No, I'm certainly nowhere near smart enough to understand deGrasse-Tyson, or your scintillating brilliance that you demonstrate in a stunning ability to discriminate between irony versus sarcasm, and knowing exactly the right moment to just let it go.

The World of Warcraft Restaurant Opened in Beijing

TheDreamingDragon says...

I wonder if Blizzard is seeing a dime from these Homages,using their market force to promote this restaurant. Considering how well China respects the Creators of copyrighted material,I doubt it highly.And such a lame attempt at cashing in on World of Warcraft too. Murals,Big TVs. Unworthy.

Now if I were Blizzard,I'd outshine this huckster's game of an eatery in China and make their own Themed Restaurant chain. I've taken people with kids to places in New York City that are special effects extravaganzas with something "interesting" going on at about every 15 minutes. One consisted of a spaceship ride to an alien world,al la 1950's sci fi flicks.and another was called Jeckle and Hyde's
Adventurer's Club where you eat in a supposed Gothic mansion devoted to hunters of the macabre run by the esteemed Dr. Jeckle,who has a cute animatronic transformation into Mister Hyde I'd imagine several times a night. That's the idea of it: having a crew of actors interact with the customers as Magic Mirrors,or a diver speaking from a shark head mounted on the wall.3 tiers overlooking a wall of animatronic Ghoulish delight,little shows,interesting things going on all the time,here and there.

Now try that with the Lore of World of Warcraft as the theme. Maybe a several vinette plot acted out with stage swordfighting and spells special effected to life. There is also a franchise called Medival Times that has horses jousting and the knightly ambiance to boot.You sit as spectators to a 6 course dinner while a show of several acts is going on in the middle. Warcraft Dinner theatre. Both types of show have their advantages. The "stuff going on all the time" thing allows for walk in traffic,so a constant flow of money,or the Super Spectacular you sell like a Play,for a one performance ticket maybe 60 bucks a pop.With Official Blizzard merchendise at the Souvenier stand!

It could work well.It would work well.Will somebody tell somebody about this so something can be done?
KKTHXBYE! LOL

The Prometheus Science Training School

bareboards2 says...

Mine was when the bodyguard was arming up to provide protection, and the lead scientist said something like "put that away, this is a scientific expedition!"

As if scientific exploration for hundreds of years didn't have fricking fracking guards as they went into unknown environments.

Still pisses me off.

First stupid moment for me was Worm eye dude who said. "6 hours of day light left. phhhh, lets suit up and go out there. I wanna open my birthday presents" Dude, you just landed on an alien planet in a spaceship hotel. Maybe take your time? Survey the area thoroughly before going ALL THE WAY inside.

SPACE TRAVEL PART 1 - Prometheus Promo Video

Reefie says...

"Doesn't look like any other spaceship I've seen in a movie"

Uhm, am I the only one who thinks it looks a bit like a bigger version of the Firefly class ship Serenity from the movie of the same name? Okay, maybe he hasn't seen it

Iron Sky - Nazis On The Moon

gwiz665 says...

It's certainly making me hard.. Ooh! >> ^spoco2:

>> ^Boise_Lib:
I Will see this movie.
[Edit: at 4:10 you can hear the Nazi motorcycles--LOL (oh, and the gunshot--Ha!]

Yeah, and the spaceships right at the start... who cares really? When they try to do movies with no sound in space (action ones anyway), they do seem remarkably lifeless.
It's not exactly a hard sci fi sort of movie now is it?
