Nightglade 7 | 97 6 Aug 2012 #61The WOW signal I'm certain was confirmed to be of human origin. Take a look at the video I linked above, the scientist who discovered it explains something about the direction of the signal - further explaining that it was in fact originating from a satellite sent out to orbit the sun.Also, thanks for the Google Mars link! Fascinating
Nightglade 7 | 97 6 Aug 2012 #63this might be an interesting video for you.At around 12:00 to be exact
p3undone 8 | 1,132 6 Aug 2012 #64Ok I was looking at google Mars,my bad,thank you.edit: and you even said video lol,I can be such a space case at times.
Nightglade 7 | 97 6 Aug 2012 #65Ah my bad. They said that it has no explanation, it was the second signal that was determined to be of human origin.
p3undone 8 | 1,132 6 Aug 2012 #66Nightglade,I will watch that video when I get a chance and then give you some feedback.
Nightglade 7 | 97 6 Aug 2012 #67Alrighty. Well try not to take it too seriously, it's just a light-hearted, layman's documentary with the soothing narration of Morgan Freeman :)
p3undone 8 | 1,132 6 Aug 2012 #68Oh is that a series?I've seen one before about parallel universes,It was actually quite fascinating;is this the same one?
Richfilth 6 | 415 6 Aug 2012 #70Part of the reason for landing in that particular crater is the mountain inside. They believe that the wind erosion on the cliff faces will reveal millions of years of geological activity up close, without Curiosity having to drill down to examine cores of material. Think of it like fossil hunters exploring the Devon beaches, if you like.I've been using today's success as a core discussion topic in my lessons. Is $2.5bn that much for a two year science project, when London spent $13bn on the Olympics for just two weeks of sport?
isthatu2 4 | 2,694 7 Aug 2012 #73haha, I love that photo... the *proof NASA funds Time Travel* one,yes?George Takei had it on his often hilarious FB page :)But,not to rain on the parade,but,another robot lands on Mars....people might go somewhere vagually nearish to mars in the 2050s.......oh,puhlease.........
OP jasondmzk 7 Aug 2012 #74Heh! The "Mohawk Guy" is Bobak Ferdowski, and he works in Cali, though my old man is aware of him, my pops works mainly in Florida. Incidentally, my wife thinks Bobak (32) is a hottie.
peterweg 37 | 2,311 11 Aug 2012 #76Why doesn't NASA send one up that will do everythingThis really is the real deal, a rover that will do everything. Its taken decades of development and billion of dollars to get there.
isthatu2 4 | 2,694 11 Aug 2012 #77This really is the real deal, a rover that will do everything.Yes, a robot with a laser gun ....who'd have thought it would be us invading mars with scary robots and lasers and not the other way round......HG Wells must be kicking himself :)
