Administrator madd-hatter Posted March 31, 2010 Administrator Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Think sharks are scary? They're downright cuddly compared to the Bathynomus giganteus, a very terrifying (and very real) sea creature that recently surfaced from the deep.So, what the heck is it? According to an article from Fox News, the Bathynomus giganteus (henceforth known as "Bart") is a type of giant isopod, "a large crustacean that dwells in deep Atlantic and Pacific waters." It passes the time by feeding on "dead whales, fish, and squid." Ol' Bart attached itself to a submarine that was exploring the ocean floor. When the sub surfaced, people got an unexpected look at the slithery stowaway. The creature is a pinkish in color, two and a half feet long. Full article @ Yahoo. I'm not scared of a lot of things, but bugs seem so alien to me that, despite their size, they make me cringe. I know it's not scientifically a "bug", but it's pretty much a large sea bug. A really fucking ugly large sea bug. Just imagine it crawling up your bed, on your blanket, and planting itself on your face. lol AHHHH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people forget how large of an impact the "space race" had on this country? I assure you if mars, the moon or any other celestial body was known to contain oil deposits, the race would be on. We've spent vastly more on this "war" in Iraq than we would need to fully fund our space program for a number of years. Capitalism dictates that money making ventures have precedent. There is no cash crop known to exist on other planets, so we elect instead to spend our money killing brown people because of the extraordinary return we receive on said investments. The space race of the 60's was a goal without tangible returns. Bragging rights and a foul notion of national pride was all that was at stake then. "Hey, we made it to the moon. Now what?" Hell grab a few rocks, some dust, stick that there flag in the moon and we win. Capitalism 1 Communism 0. There was no return on that investment that could benefit capitalism, so the shit got dropped. NASA is allowed a great deal of money to expend, but not necessarily on planetary exploration. Rather, its about satellites, surveillance and defense, the procurement of power. All tied in with multi-billion dollar contracts with various defense and aerospace corporations. In short, the issue with going to mars is, no one else gives a shit (speaking of other nations) and there is no money to be made on friggin mars. We see oil a squirting out of the ground, bet your ass we get there in 2 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruksak Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 The space race helped us develop one of the most important pieces of technology ever.Microchip anyone? An invention that was patented by a toy maker. Texas Instruments, makers of the technological break threw, the Speak'n'Spell, conceived this bit of technology in the pursuit of better, smaller calculators. I'm not going to argue that the space race didn't conceive many innovations. As it most certainly did. The point I'm making is that there will be no Space Race II until someone strikes the riches of another planets resources. Go ahead and believe that the funding NASA receives is to find life on distant rocks, as that is not the case. Those rovers are looking for deposits and resources which would allow capitalism to excuse the expense in lew of a high yield return for profit. The scientists, bound by secrecy, are willing to play along so that they may make discoveries that are far more interesting to mankind, but have no real cash value. Give and take.

I agree that there has to be motivation to reach out into space, but I think the prospect of "striking it rich" should be enough of said motivation. Is no one willing to take risks anymore?

rike1 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 If you want to put money into space, put it into the militarization of space. Who gives a shit about furthering knowledge if you can launch a missile from Mars or destroy world communications through satellites launching rockets... But I agree the sea is an awesome place.
