I read today in http://www.Spacedaily.com that scientist have discoverd for the firt time ExtraSolar planets that are only 10-20 times the size of our own beloved Earth.Previosly,the ExtraSolar planets where huge Gas~Giants like Jupiter,but the new smaller planets are probably composed of rock and Ice,like Earth.So the hunt begins,and Im guessing that within a few years, we will find what basicly amounts too...another Earth! This Idea,feels to me almost as bizzar and exciting, as finding other life! So...Onward and Outward!!!

,and spare not an Ounce of Fuel,for our Dreams!!!

Maybe we could send all the politicians to one of those planets without any oxygen. I think it would be tax dollars well spent, and not cruel to animals. B)

Except that they would organize and then find a way to tax us?

I'm thinking a tax on the space-time continuum? Gotta be some bucks there I'd say........

Or a photon consumption tax.....

Maybe a war against gravity...now there's one mean mofoker......

Its possible that extraterrestrial intervention might be the only thing that will save us idiots.............better hurry....... B)

Too bad we can't even take care of the earth we already have...

I wouldn't worry, the moon is probably going to be our second home someday. Now that would be weird.

:blink: Weird you say Carlos? Nasa just started a mission that was 40 years and 4 months in the makeing.Its a satelite called the Gravity-Probe-b.Its useing several gyroskopic spheres that are incased in a near-vacume,spin several thousand RPM with a one~thou~of an inch clearance and are the most perfectly round objects ever made.Now that its guidence system is locked on a certain star it can begin its year long search...For a Space~Time Vortex,that acording to Albert Ensteins laws of Relitivity,is "out~there" wobleing and bending space.

Hmmm... I guess it isn't going to be so weird after all!
