dark matter?
discovered between the ears of Mahmoud Ahmahadnijob during his last physical.....hehehehe.....
No, wait ...
They actually found proof of some Dark Matter? This should be big..
If this stuff (dark matter) actually was 90% of the universe as claimed, all of us would be having to vacuum it up off our carpets daily.
NASA Reports Successful Probe to Uranus.
August 21st? Don't they know the world ends August 22nd? Not much time to enjoy the fruits of the discovery.
Separation of dark matter and light matter happens every Thanksgiving whenever you carve the bird...........
If this is the real deal, it would be great.
How do you know you're not?
I met the the 2nd guy listed (Doug) years ago. He seemed like a good guy. I hope for his sake that this is solid research.
I vote that this wins the thread. But where's the photo?
Feh ... unless you get a free range turkey, these days it's hard to tell the difference.
Here ya go!..........
Parts is pieces parts..............(Old Wendy's commercial).......
A steaming pile of starship fuel!
see #15.....
sweet
That's typical of NASA. They probably buried it out back in a field behind JSC.
