4merper4mer Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 is that actual video or an animated depiction? if real that is so damned cool, and i still don't have a clue what was happening.... The thread is entitled "video" but I can't figure out how they got the camera up there.

I thought it was a time lapse kind of thing, but they don't really say in the article unless I missed it.
4merper4mer Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 or the cameraman.... good point. He must have peed himself.
Chef Jim Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 :lol: Thank you, love Carlin and somehow missed that bit! I had just the opposite response. "Hey George!! !@#$ you!!"
We Come In Peace Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 I had just the opposite response. "Hey George!! !@#$ you!!" Either way it makes me laugh. But I'm sick in the head so don't go by me.
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I thought it was a time lapse kind of thing, but they don't really say in the article unless I missed it. From the caption under the still "picture" near the top of the link: The black hole at the center of galaxy NGC 4845 is seen snacking on a giant gas planet or "failed star" in this screenshot from an ESA animation. We need to let ESA borrow a drone for a couple days so they can send it up there to take real photos.

Good catch. And I agree. Or we can just call up the Majestic 12 and get them to let us use the TR-3B Edited April 12, 2013 by We Come In Peace

Chef Jim Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 +1 !@#$ that miserable dickhead. May he RIP That was actually my response to that one bit. Yeah, mankind has done some !@#$ed up **** so let's do a "comedy" bit about it.

He was always a philosopher-comic. Then again, the best comics usually are. It's just Carlin's philosophies were pretty nihilistic, which certainly can rub folks the wrong way.

If there's one thing that humanity should strive for is space exploration. I'm all for the matching color coded space suits.
