Gee I never thought of that. I hope the Mar’s rover washes its hands before coming back to Earth. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Not mine, maybe yours?
They found a monolith with perfect 1-4-9 dimensions.
Snickers
I have seen some Christians here on FR who apparently think the rest of the visible universe is devoid of life and was created for no other purpose than to provide pretty twinkling night lights for the Garden of Eden.
Wow. wouldn’t want to be around when Mars did a crunchy with the Earth. wonder what the kinetic energy release would be for something like that.
Google “Theia planet” sometime. All the calculations have already been done.
Thanks.
It’s the next page of the Mayan calendar.
“Ok let me get this straight. There are no men here. There’s an unlimited supply of Bud Light. And we can never leave?”
“Correct.”
“I can live with that.”

“You don’t think the existence of life on another planet is a significant discovery?”
Honestly, no. I just wouldn’t find that all that big a deal. That might shock you, but I’m serious. What would it change here in everyday life? Nothing really.
“I think if it’s true it will be one of the most important discoveries in history.”
Actually it’s real importance would be determined by what it effectively changes here on earth in everyday life. And if it changes little or nothing, then it ultimately isn’t that important.
“Some will greet it with excitement and some with dread.”
Maybe. But what will it actually EFFECT? And is that even the announcement NASA will make?
They found where Disney buried the negatives for John Carter.
""Honestly, no. I just wouldn’t find that all that big a deal.""
Yeah, no doubt it would hardly make a blip on your local news.....yuk,yuk..
Good thinken vlad....
L Ron Hubbard scratched into a rock?
I know the news would make a huge deal about it. It just wouldn’t actually EFFECT anything practicle of every day use on THIS PLANET for the foreseeable future. Sorry, I grew up in the age of science fiction turned to fact. The discivery of life on another planet wouldn’t impress me much because I’ve been told for my entire life that ot would happen eventually.
I would be much more impressed by a cure for the common cold (or cancer) or the Democratic Party becoming Pro-Life or producing a balanced federal budget - but let’s not stray from science fiction into pure fantasy.
lol...
They found Ted Kennedy’s car keys.
