black_beau: Where are the people that left their important work to wave? I thought I would see their picture

caesaraba:

Yeah, last I heard (read), the guys at NASA were deliberating on ways to access the mass of 'water' under the ice cover which proves to be many meters thicks. They where thinking of sending a 3-phase rocket carrying a payload that will blast through a significant layer of the ice, then a drill would bore the hole (2nd phase) for the scientific equipment (3rd phase) to be released into the water to do its job. Whichever works for them, I hope they get to do it soon.

Galaxy is a collection of stars of which could contain about 100 billion of stars.

Planet earth is in the galaxy called the milkyway

PapaBrowne: Ol boy!!

If earth, with 7 billion people are but a dot, then you suddenly wonder what you are.
So Obama dey inside that dot. And Jonathan. And that big building that I saw in Dubai.
And all of China. And all of Bill gates money.


And someone said that there is no God. Like seriously, God is too big for us to comprehend. Bigger than religion, bigger than our little minds can fathom. Big.

So we are not even dots, we live in one massive place that is all but a dot. Kai!! Wetin we come be.

Misterpaul: From a distance, the world looks so small and peaceful...This show s how God is watching us from a distance!.

coastal queen: hey Mr fake...

riloxy: wow! God is great...He is incomparable.

What god is great?
That picture show the insignificance of planet earth ,her inhabitants and all their gods in the universe.
If earth should disappear today ,nobody would notice.
There are more stars like our sun in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth.
Those stars harbour planets like Jupiter ,mars,Venus ,earth etc
We are definitely not alone .
The laws of science and probability says so.

Nickydrake: Photos like these make one feel rather insignificant; first as a Species, and then, even more pointedly, as an individual.

kj_hova:

No I don't have to recourse to google to oppose an idea which I have opposed forever. However, as you have apparently chosen to insult me just to prove your god's existence, I will let my e-ink dry off on this our brief encounter.

Good luck.

Iaz93: I love this reply.

joeace2020:

Thats how they are... The moment you engage in a simple descent argument regarding the existence of their God theyll put you on a stake, set fire on you and watch you burn... I just cant wait for the day we'll meet extraterrestrial beings then we can all accept in shame that we were played all along.

coastal queen: wow, this makes me realise how little we are in God's eyes. with a pinch everyone could be gone. and that includes those that feel they can decide who lives or dies.

Ima_eyez: You have not been able to establish the existence of your God, you are talking about his greatness. Believe what you may, but come on! do you have to yap about your religious beliefs on every thread? God is this and God is that! The point is, respect other people's views and beliefs when you comment. Stop pushing your God on everybody period.

xynerise: Where are earth's other brothers?

Heatblast: reminds me of this pic taken by the voyager 1

ehizo25: Pics like this make me think of how insignificant man is in God's eyes. Indeed what is man that God should think of him. Yet no matter how tiny all mankind put together is, God still loves us and takes care of us. I am indeed humbled when I think of God's greatness.

gbadexy: What strike ♍ƺ is the white luminous color of the earth and slightly duller color of the moon both reflecting the sun.
So how planet would look like a dot of star amongst countless stars when looked from just another planet.
Who really knows how many of the dots are stars and how many are huge not so far planets.

kj_hova: This images from Saturn sends ideas raging in my cranium.
Regular inter planetary travel is very likely within the next 50 to 100 years. The 3 main challenges to surmount are;
Fuel - Nuclear fission has already been used to more than half the time required for Curiosity to travel to Mars. further development in this area or maybe a whole new discovery could considerably reduce travel time across our solar system.
Toxic atmosphere of space - Following the example of a permanently inhabited International Space Station orbiting around Earth, it is technically possible to install inhabited stations or bases on every planet in our system. We only need to solve the small matter of oxygen supply, artificial gravity, communication with Earth and a bit more.
Cost/benefits: - Vast deposits of oils, minerals, metals, rocks & gases exists in many parts of our solar system. Soon very soon, a new space age set of explorers in the order of Mungo park, Marco Polo, Cecil Rhodes et al will march into these frontiers to create commercial activity around these resources. Then shall man become an inter-planetary being at least, if not yet inter-stellar!
