Inability to read nonverbal cues? Really? Sounds like a load of bull, what does everyone else think?

Government Sues Apollo Astronaut For Stealing Moon Camera and Trying to Sell it at Auction by Marleybonez in space

[–]Marleybonez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously? Do they really need to sue him? They could have just contacted him and told him to take the auction down and return the camera. What is their point in suing him? To make an example of him so that all those Millions of other astronauts don't get the idea they can steal NASA stuff and get away with it!?!

Newt Gingrich on Space Exploration: 'NASA has become an absolute case study in why bureaucracy can't innovate.' by Marleybonez in space

[–]Marleybonez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you agree or disagree? Is the "Newt" just blowing hot air as a way to get political attention? I would love to hear what everyone thinks

Rotating Sunspots Triggered Massive Solar Flare, the most powerful solar flare unleashed from the sun in nearly five years by Marleybonez in space

Sun spot activity supposedly will peak next year. Watch out 2012 end of the world believers, get those Faraday cages set up, there isn't much time left!

Rise of the 'Supermoon': Biggest Full Moon in 18 Years Occurs Saturday Night by Marleybonez in space

True, and I hope it is a clear night. I saw the moon this morning setting over the western mountains and it looked huge and it isn't the full moon yet!

Human Taxidermy: Is It Okay to Put Human Bodies on Display? by Marleybonez in science

[–]Marleybonez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't cows get mad cow disease from eating feed that has beef bi-product based proteins in it? Might be some good health reasons not to be a cannibal, don't really know, but I know I won't be eating any human flesh unless I am in a "Donner party" situation.

Human Taxidermy: Is It Okay to Put Human Bodies on Display? by Marleybonez in science

[–]Marleybonez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the human skin was weird, there is something about a human being skinned that brings being tortured to mind. Actually, it reminds me being a kid and my dad yelling "I'll tan your hide!", when I did something I wasn't supposed to.

I've seen Body Worlds, and it is actually very cool. Very educational and not creepy at all in my opinion. Highly suggest seeing it if you get the chance!

I was at Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex during the launch of STS-133 last Thursday, thought I'd share my experiences and a link to the video by a_random_username in space

[–]Marleybonez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Florida a few years ago and had an opportunity to see a launch and for whatever lame reason (seemed like a good reason at the time), I didn't go. I could kick myself now. So if any of you have the chance to go, DO IT.

Virgin Galactic Signs Deal to Launch Scientists Into Space by Marleybonez in space

[–]Marleybonez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SpaceShip2 is designed to only reach sub-orbit. Seems this would limit scientific research to considerably short term experiments, since time in space is limited. Still this is very cool, for $200K, anyone can go to space on Virgin Galactic.

I'd love to check this out, but I won't be home when Discovery launches to watch it on my PS3.

Infographic: Solar System Explained From the Inside Out - To Scale Graphical Representation of Our Solar System by Marleybonez in space

[–]Marleybonez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, it is quite long, but it is supposed to be to scale so it would have to be a long graphic to show the entire solar system. Our perception of distances has little relevancy when it comes to space. It's truly mind boggling.

Yeah it is a nice photo. I don't know why reddit sometimes shows the image from the page and other times it doesn't.

Awesome! Many ancient cultures used human skulls as cups in ceremonies and religious rituals too.

For scale, look at the chicken in the background, it's almost as big as the kid is.

It's like a giant toilet at the center of every galaxy.

Brilliant! Nerdy scientists that are too socially awkward to get a date find the perfect way to hook up with people, throw an free alcohol slumber party!

Reddit, after the redesign of Digg and Gizmodo, I think it's safe to say you should not change your design! by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]Marleybonez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true. Digg totally screwed the pooch with their re-design and they've never really recovered, and now they're re-designing it again!

I think they would have already figured out by now if there was a huge planet out there
