I’m surprised that Starlink wasn’t on the table. Throw a couple in orbit that beam back to Earth’s constellation

The list is of volcanoes, it doesn't specify whether or not they are active or dormant. The most recent discoveries just showed that there are still active volcanoes.

The first ones were. There are a number of scientists that argue more cheap small rovers would yield more science than large expensive singular rovers, but so far they're not winning the NASA awards for contracts. I think we'll start to see more diversity of size in the future awards, given how successful small satellites are becoming.

Wasn't it like, just discovered, that there was volcanism on Venus? How fast do we find these things lmao

"If we'll need to actually build the rocket to stop people from asking questions, maybe we could just... pop to the moon and fake the footage over there."

They don't want to hire Kubrick again. He only films on location and is a perfectionist. Apollo 11 landed on the moon 157 times before he was happy with it.

No light could be found using telescopes, leaving only one possibility: black holes. by Andromeda321
I can only imagine what the deleted comment was, but this was an incredibly intelligent response to it.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Per Tory Bruno, ULA CEO: Centaur V suffered an anomaly during testing, a setback for Vulcan by TbonerT
"Centaur V structural article"
Why would that be related to BE4 at all?
Edit: also Blue Origin posted a video of a BE7 test yesterday, not a BE4 test... Unless you are referring to something else

Carl Sagan is my answer to the question "Who is the person you would most like to have dinner with, alive or dead?" I'll be looking forward to this documentary.

Reply to comment by Mighty-Lobster in Do planets of solar system have parallel orbits? by Durrynda
aren't most galaxies disc shaped ? Not very hard to imagine that since gravity is the force that rules over galaxies, solar systems and planets, then the distribution of stars around the massive object in the galaxy, the distribution of planets around a star, and the rings around a planet, is all from the same force, not that all objects are enligned in the same plane, but generally within one system(galaxy, solar system, or planet) well it all seems to stretch into a disc. Maybe if the massive thing at the middle wasn't rotating it wouldn't spread out into a disc, i'm no astrophysician.
