norseman Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Norseman, are you sure that is an image of Pluto? ———————————————- Yup. And its just as much a photographic image as any digital camera takes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catmandoo Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The Pluto image is a composite. Very different from your personal camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not at all. Digital images on a modern camera are storied as 1s and 0s as well. And when you download the image onto a flash drive? Same. Or view it on a computer screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatFoot Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Funny... One group thinks the other has proven again exactly what they are/what they think and the other group feels the exact same way about the other. Not to get completely off topic, but it's just like politics in the US now. Must be something baked into our psychology as humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has been proven here on any side. However, I will note that I have provided budget figures with references. I did not provide any evidence that USFS, USFWS, and/or California FW did not expend any money investigating the PG event, but I would love to review any reference anybody might have to establish that they did (I suppose one might say that Lyle Laverty’s crew, visiting the site on Monday might have been paid their wages by USFS, but I’d love to review any claim that USFS authorized that visit). My point is that Big Science follows the money, not the evidence, because there is infinitely more evidence of the existence of hominids, both past and present, than there is of extraterrestrial intelligent life.

Twist Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 You have pointed to NASA spending, government spending etc. You are right. They have had a march larger budget than BF based on producing results. They HAVE provided results. THEY are living in space (ISS) THEY have been to mars with probes. THEY have done flybys of other celestial bodies. THEY ARE advancing society despite your poor attitude towards advancement. Its not today, its not tomorrow. It may be in 100 years. The thing is, IT IS ahead of us. IT is our FUTURE. Shake your fist at the clouds, shake your fist at the people on your lawn. Go ahead, you will not stop what IS happening. NO MATTER how much you do not want or understand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What results do you expect from $0 investment? ......THEY ARE advancing society despite your poor attitude towards advancement....... They’d damned sure better for $621 billion. And, BTW, I’ve been a huge proponent of many aspects of the space program. I just have no use whatsoever for much of this Mars exploration. I think we should focus on orbital satellites of all kinds and orbital military weapons. ....Shake your fist at the clouds, shake your fist at the people on your lawn.

Huntster Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yup. Been happening for quite a while. In fact, the majority of space shuttle flights included classified DoD missions. Moreover, there have been lots of space launches not included in NASAs program or budget at all. DoD has it’s very own space program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably for the better if Musk is convicted by the SEC and is no longer allowed to run a publicly traded company.

You are getting what you want, Sounds like you just do not like NASA looking for a way off this rock.
