Why can't NASA TV step up to like 720p or something.

This is going to be like the superbowl. An hour and a half of pre-game.

I keep seeing animation of a drop vehicle taking the rover down, then flying off. Where does it go? Will it science too?

If by 'science' you mean make a large crater safely far away from the rover, then...yes.

If you haven't seen the video of the rover dropoff, it really is quite amazing (& 4k).

No. Just no.

Snake man? Really?

True! And that's the thing - if he knew he was dreaming, he didn't have to fear the snake dude, just morph him into something else!

But I credit that movie with getting me interested in lucid dreaming. Worked on this a lot in high school and undergrad (used Stephen LaBerge's book), had a few, but always had trouble staying asleep once I was lucid.

I should get back into it, my wife has an EEG rig in her lab, so it might be fun!!

I sorta do some lucid dreaming occasionally. I can usually remember a good bit about my dreams but once in awhile i'll be like "oh yeah, this is dreams..." but yeah it seems harder to stay that way.

This month is a time to celebrate. CERN has just announced the discovery of four brand new particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva.

This means that the LHC has now found a total of 59 new particles, in addition to the Nobel prize-winning Higgs boson, since it started colliding protons - particles that make up the atomic nucleus along with neutrons - in 2009.

Thanks for the space farce, dingbat isolationist Trump.

Russia and China today announced that the two nations plan to cooperate to create a scientific research station on the Moon.

Countries are turning their attention to landing people on the Moon in the coming years, and this partnership between China and Russia - a long-time U.S. partner in space - shows just how much the geopolitical landscape in space is changing.

It will be designed to support a variety of research experiments "with the possibility of long-term unmanned operation with the prospect of a human presence on the moon," the statement said.

Like NASA, China has been courting international support for its own plans to put infrastructure on the Moon. It's also sent several robotic Chang'e missions to the Moon, including the first landing on the Moon's far side and a swift sample retrieval mission in December. The lunar space station agreement, signed virtually between China's space chief Zhang Kejian and Russia's space chief Dmitry Rogozin, marks the latest development in Beijing's efforts to explore the Moon alongside rivals like NASA, which is barred from working with China under a law passed by Congress in 2011.

Your reading has gotten nicely senile. Maybe you should retire your political sniping. I'd say read it a few more times and you'll see the joke, but. If you can't see that you likely won't see between the margins, either.

I mean everything you read with Trump in it must be hysterical "TDS".



Guess we know where you stand on a lot.



Thanks Obama.

Funny, you brought Trump into it and seemed to blame him for for Russia and China signing this agreement. I just pointed out that the bad orange man had nothing to do with it. If you were joking, well, it went over my age-addled head

There are many reasons to be mad at Trump, but this pretty clearly isn't one of them. I absolutely am not a Trump supporter, didn't vote for the guy either time or subscribe to his newsletter, but thanks for thinking I did

On topic, given the ability to launch commercially from the US, where is the real upside in having Russia or China as partners in this venture, as opposed to the ones we already have? The Russians have cheap launch capability, but otherwise, they aren't exactly leading the charge for space science.

Only one of those three countries has recently created a branch of it's military for space.

A clearly offensive and public move. Once again we are the belligerent power. Funny you end with saying we're "leading the charge".

I doubt they're smart enough to take advantage of the posture. Since they have never done that with us, before.

So now, this venture could be military as all get out but, not like we have much ground to be concerned on now. They'd just be responding. It may not be a big thing when everything boils down but, it's an obvious escalation.

Wait, that guy never escalated anything dangerous.
