Deranged Rhino Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Rosetta will attempt to land on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, culminating a 10 year mission. Watch the landing live, streaming here: http://new.livestream.com/ESA/cometlanding Other sources: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30012854 And here's the comet singing: https://soundcloud.com/esaops/a-singing-comet
Jauronimo Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I'm surprised this mission isn't getting more pub given the stakes here. If the Rosetta's crew isn't able to blow this thing up, we're all screwed.

If the Rosetta's crew isn't able to blow this thing up, we're all screwed. :lol: Well, that's true. But this is the one that's going to hit us and no one talks about it, of course it's 15 years out -- which isn't worth mentioning I guess: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/apophis/ NASA says it'll miss now, I've heard from more than a few folks (some with actual bona-fides) that NASA is in fact outright lying about the trajectory. They know it's going to hit us, probably in 2036 if not 2029, and it's much larger than they ever realized. Unless we get Bruce Willis and his rag-tag team out there, it'll be all she wrote for humanity on this planet in about 22 years. It was a good run while it lasted. Edited November 11, 2014 by GreggyT

That must be why the Cubs hired Joe Maddon. They are running out of time. Can the Bills hire Joe Maddon?

I don't think there's a rule prohibiting a MLB manager from holding a job in the NFL as well. I'm for it if it means giving Pears and the jumbo sets an extinction level event.

As an experienced MLB manager, i have no doubt hes qualified to land a spacecraft on and blow up a celestial body, but do you really think he can coach a football team?

Certainly not one that plays on top of an Indian burial ground and is haunted by the ghost of Doug Flutie... but when facing end times, I'm for throwing things against the wall to see what sticks.
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) The terrain that has been chosen for the landing on the rubber duck-shaped object is far from flat. Alien version of a Trojan horse? After all, how dangerous could something shaped like a rubber duck be? Edited November 11, 2014 by ICanSleepWhenI'mDead

That **** might fly in that dog and pony show you call the National Areospace Safety Administration but in the NFL that type of crap gets you an express pass to the commissioner's exempt list. Just ask Greg Hardy

By the way I have to you before and will sadly probably have to tell you again that are not "Bona-fides". They may have said they get drunk and have "boner fights" but that is not something I'm interested in investigating any further. You should stay away from them.

The estimated trajectory was done by groups including Stanford, Harvard, NSF, NAS, U of Arizona, and U of Hawaii. NASA couldn't hide the facts of this asteroid if they wanted to.

The Poojer Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 this is pretty cool stuff, they are about an hour away
dib Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I want to live long enough to see humans land on Mars
PastaJoe Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I want to live long enough to see humans land on Mars You could volunteer for a one way trip and cover both.
NoSaint Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I don't think there's a rule prohibiting a MLB manager from holding a job in the NFL as well. I'm for it if it means giving Pears and the jumbo sets an extinction level event. i think it has to be in the same city though. in this case he would have to coach the sabres, not the cubs. but with pegula, it could be a single contract - so, maybe.
