Zeusthecat Posted August 5, 2013 They probably just have a lot of soup (By they, I mean 'the Aliens') It's a well known fact 'the Aliens' don't have mouths, so they drink their cream of space tomato soup using osmosis normally through the elbow. They do this as it a good way of testing the temperature. Two birds with one meteorite So then they poop through "reverse osmosis"? ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG!!!

melmer Posted August 5, 2013 No need of a space asshole They osmo-poop out of the soles of their feet, leaving shitty footprints everywhere... Which then fertilises the space soil so they can grow more space tomatoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted August 5, 2013 So, the same guys who make ARMA have a Mars rover sim. I wonder if it's going to be as accurate as their military shooters? http://store.steampowered.com/app/244030/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted August 6, 2013 So how does digestion work in space when peristalsis has to do all of the work without any assistance from gravity (that's a hopefully intelligent way of asking how space poops work). Peristalsis doesn't require gravity. Consider that you can still swallow things when upside. At least I think you can... Yup. It's a little uncomfortable, but you totally can. SCIENCE!

Zeusthecat Posted August 6, 2013 Hmmm, I thought gravity and peristalsis worked together to move food through the digestive tract. Not that you can't digest food in the absence of gravity, just that it is more difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted August 6, 2013 With the way the digestive tract wanders around, you're only getting a foot or two of gravity over the entire 30 foot run of the intestine. I imagine the swallowing and stomach parts of the system function better with gravity, but that's a short enough run that muscles can take care of it. I wonder what keeps astronauts from having acid reflux all the time without gravity keeping the stomach acid in the bottom of the stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeusthecat Posted September 27, 2013 Pffft. Everyone knows that the mars rovers have really just been travelling around on a secret movie set in Hollywood. These are all lies perpetuated by the liberal media. Space doesn't exist! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted September 28, 2013 Curiosity finds water on Mars Basically I freak out every time Curiosity finds something. I was staring at the pictures it sent back for like 5 minutes, aware that I was looking at a place that no human has ever been, an actual alien world, and the enormity that I could see something like that moments after its capture, lit up on a screen on the shoreline of Australia. And the first person I tried to share it with said 'it's a bunch of rocks'. WATER ON MARRRRRRRRRRRRRS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Codicier Posted October 17, 2013 For me there was something kinda amazing about the way the south pole's isolation from the rest of the world is brought home by that sequence, it's utterly the only unchanging thing in a world in flux. Would a;so love to see the same image but with sea temperature mapped in too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RubixsQube Posted October 31, 2013 After reading the Kim Stanley Robinson Mars trilogy, I'm way interested in hanging out on Mars. Sign me up. I'll definitely man a Martian telescope. Less atmosphere to blur the observations. Thanks for pointing out this video! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SecretAsianMan Posted November 11, 2014 In 2004, the European Space Agency launched a probe called Rosetta. On August 6th of this year, it met up with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This week, the Philae lander will launch from Rosetta and attempt to touchdown on the surface of the comet. This is the first ever attempt to land on a comet. NASA and the ESA will be broadcasting the event live. See here for details and times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
