PromoTheRobot Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 link New research that suggests Jupiter's moon Europa has a body of water the size of the Great Lakes just two miles below its icy surface has brought scientists one step closer to determining whether or not the freezing satellite is suitable for the development of extraterrestrial life. When can we go? PTR
Doc Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Weird. It's like Arthur C. Clarke was psychic or something...
K-9 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Weird. It's like Arthur C. Clarke was psychic or something... It's uncanny how prescient some science fiction writers were. H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, etc. Weird indeed.
DrFishfinder Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 link When can we go? PTR We can't. It's The Crystalline Entity's personal wading pool.
DC Tom Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Weird. It's like Arthur C. Clarke was psychic or something... Clarke managed to write a lot of things that ultimately came to pass. Communication satellites spring most immediately to mind - as I recall, his description of a fictional communication satellite so accurately described the first real one (Echo 1) that he could have all but designed it.
ieatcrayonz Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 link When can we go? PTR These guys are amazing. The next thing you know they'll find giant pustules on Uranus.
Just Jack Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Weird. It's like Arthur C. Clarke was psychic or something... Maybe he was actually an alien. link When can we go? PTR Just got to pack my swim suit and I'll be ready.
Buff_bills4ever Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 The better question is, how long until we can start mining the **** out of Europa? EARTH FIRST!!
Just Jack Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 The better question is, how long until we can start mining the **** out of Europa? EARTH FIRST!! OCCUPY EUROPA!!!!!
PromoTheRobot Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 The better question is, how long until we can start mining the **** out of Europa? EARTH FIRST!! It's only a matter of time. Gotta bring down the coast of launching/landing payloads. When is that giant space elevator going to be built? PTR
