how about these fun facts
the distance between stars in our galaxy is the same as having two grains of sand 30 miles apart
or that each of us has a good chance to breathe in atoms that were exhaled by julius caesar while he was saying his final words
or that we all have about 100 billion atoms inside of us that were once inside william shakespeare
or that nobody has ever measured how small an electron actually is only that baddogs penis is smaller (hehe) -
awesome vidComment

i like how people say there is no life on other planets.Comment

Kinda puts EVERYONE'S problems in perspective, no?
Given the huge scale of the universe, just thinking about its raw power, scale, and infinity seems a like a giant invitation to get over ourselves...Comment

I watched a program yesterday on Nat Geo. They said traveling at the speed of light it would take 8 years to send a message and 8 to get a reply from the nearest star in our galaxy. Sending a message to another galaxy would take hundreds of years. So a very boring conversation. Worse than having one here.
It's only in the last hundred years or so that we had radios. And only the last 50 that we could "listen" to the universe. It took us 100,000 years to get to this point and we are still stumbling. So hitting another intelligent life that was at the same stage is a 50-100,000 ratio.
Traveling to the nearest galaxy would take, at current technology, 1,000 years. 1,000 years even if possible would kill those in the space craft. We are not designed for 0 gravity, when we reach the next planet where life will survive, even if still alive. Visiting it will automatically kill us. It will have gravity.
The War of the Worlds theory of how the Earth would be protected, defends other planets from us. We had problems discovering Africa with the problems of the diseases, getting there, feeding and coping with the climate. Imagine going to a world that's totally Alien to us.
Or them visiting us. Because what applies to us applies to them as well.
So even if we could bend the universe like bending a piece of cloth so the two far corners are next to each other, warp drive, we can't get out of the space ship or our protective suits.
Just don't tell Hollywood.

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch."

Getting to the nearest galaxy couldn't be done even with Star Trek's technology, never mind ours.
What we could do with current technology is put a Hubble telescope type satellite 150 times the radius of earth's orbit away, at the solar focus point, this would let us use the sun as a lens and we could see planets light years away in detail. It would only take 15 years for the thing to get there.Comment

Based on everything we currently know. Who knows what they will discover in 50, 100, 500, or 1000 years from now.Getting to the nearest galaxy couldn't be done even with Star Trek's technology, never mind ours.

i was thinking more along the lines of lifeforms from another planit visiting us. like you said the time it would take for earth to figure out how to get to another planet is a crazy long time.

Well, you can't stop "living" just because something greater than you is at work. We all have to do our part. Some people are just a little too much individualistic.
Another fun fact: More people visit Pornerbros.com in a day, than Montreal Olympic Stadium in a year.

Every atom in your body was created at the time of the big bang....
There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on the entire planet....

Fun subject and great video...
How many times would you have to fuel that passenger plane during its 1100 years around the largest known star ?
How much gallons of fuel would it take in total ?
What would the costs be ?
A plane like a Boeing 747 uses approximately 1 gallon of fuel (about 4 liters) every second. Over the course of a 10-hour flight, it might burn 36,000 gallons (150,000 liters). According to Boeing's Web site, the 747 burns approximately 5 gallons of fuel per mile (12 liters per kilometer). Source:

I think in this case you would want to convert the energy source to solar

If you look at the achievements in the past century or two it's obvious that technology is developing at an exponential rate. It would probably be better to wait 100 years for better technology, than launch a slower craft in 10.It's only in the last hundred years or so that we had radios. And only the last 50 that we could "listen" to the universe. It took us 100,000 years to get to this point and we are still stumbling. So hitting another intelligent life that was at the same stage is a 50-100,000 ratio.

Imagine a newer craft overtaking one that's been "en route" for several decades... how pissed off would they be?

Don't think the first statement is true, it is as your last statement says...
Atoms that make up your body were made in stars a long time after the big bang.Comment

It's actually only the largest known star IN OUR GALAXY!How long would it take for a jet to circle the largest star in the universe?
There could be bigger out there!VSEX.COM

You'd need a lot of peanuts. But, think of the miles! You'd be a lifetime diamond after just one trip!Fun subject and great video...

I'd wait until they were just ready to land on the surface, all stubbly, angry, and exhausted, then cruise right in and dock. I'd also wear shiny "future" clothes just to top it off.If you look at the achievements in the past century or two it's obvious that technology is developing at an exponential rate.
