Interactive app lefts you explore MARS yourself through Curiosity.
Goddamn amazing. Living on Earth got you down? When we’re not destroying the environment (whether or not you believe in Climate Change, we’re pretty impressive dicks to the Blue Marble), we spend the time fighting one another. Get the fuck to Mars if only virtually through this app that lets you explore the Red Planet through a panorama of Curiosity pictures.
LISTEN: Carl Sagan’s message to future explorers of Mars. Sagan is eternal boss mode.
A few months before he died, Uncle Carl recorded a message to the future explorers of Mars. Admittedly, our dumb asses are still too busy caught up in the usual cycle of consumption and warring to get there quite yet. However, yesterday’s landing of Curiosity was quite the fantastique, and has drummed up as good a time as ever to hear Sagan’s message to the future wanderers.
The TARANTULA NEBULA is shiny cosmic web of awesome.
Yeah, yeah. I’ve been slacking on the space porn lately, and for that I fall upon my blade. It pierces the jittery remnants of my heart, propelling me into action. Wait, how can I do that when I’m dead? Guilt motivates the corpses. Powerful agent.
VIDEO of CURIOSITY’S descent onto Mars. Super space bulge.
This video of Curiosity’s descent onto Mars is only stop motion, but it’s a delicious taste of the footage to come. Crank the son of a bitch up to its highest resolution, squint your eyes, and party hard.
NASA’s CURIOSITY rover makes it safely onto Mars. Everyone drink!
I know this is late news in the wunder-deluge that is the internet churn cycle, but fuck it I want to celebrate. NASA’s Curiosity rover has touched down safely on the Red Planet. Fuck yes.
Virgin Galactic’s FIRST SPACE TOURISM FLIGHT Launching Next Year. I am Jelly Incarnate.
Goddamn, if I was a millionaire. Next year Virgin Galactic is launching their first space tourism flight, and I’d love to be up on that.
PLUTO Has A FIFTH MOON, Still No Goddamn Respect.
Pluto. It can’t catch a break. Despite having like, a zillion moons (four) with like a million more found (a fifth), it still isn’t a pluto. What the hell is up with that.
NASA Reveals The ORION SPACE CAPSULE. The Sumbitch May Take Us To Mars
NASA has pulled the tarp away covering their new passenger-powered space shuttle thingy sumbitch. Meet the Orion Space Capsule.
Non-Profit Organization Wants To Launch Deep Space Telescope To Search For Dangerous Asteroids. Bruce Willis Nods.
Deep space asteroids are out there, folks. They’re lurking. Taking their time. Waiting for us to get complacent. Right when we think we’ve got the entire cosmos to ourselves, they’re going to launch their asses through gravity and physics right at our precious Blue Marble. One non-profit wants to help prevent this.
Gas Cloud Colliding With Our Galaxy’s Black Hole Next Year. Take That, Mayans!
Pah, Mayans! Pah! Our Existence will not be ending this year. No, no. Instead I’m pretty sure we’re going to be felled by a gas cloud colliding with the black hole in the center of our galaxy. I can sense it.
