In ‘No Man’s Sky’ it’s impossible to visit every f**king planet
I’m pretty jacked+pumped for No Man’s Sky, Hello Games’ procedurally generated space exploration game. A goddamn living Universe, with goddamn glorious planets, for my goddamn exploration. And while I understood the game was vast, I didn’t know it would be impossible to explore all of it. Impossible!

Elon Musk’s SpaceX raising another $200 mill. GET US TO MARS.
I don’t give a shit what sort of extraneous game Elon Musk talks, if the fucker can get us to Mars. The Hyperbolic One’s company SpaceX is trying to do just that (and a variety of other radical, space-related things), and it’s raising funds to do so. The latest wave of cash is coming in, to the tune of $200 million.
Rosetta becomes first spacecraft to orbit a f**king comet!
After ten goddamn years of hurtling through The Expanse, the Rosetta spacecraft has become the first one to orbit a fucking comet. How goddamn gnarly is that! Space, mannn. *Bong rip.* Spaceee.
NASA intends to make oxygen from CO2 on Mars’ surface
Science-science-science-fiction up in this real (real?) world! NASA is strapping a fucking shitload of stuff onto their Mars 2020 rover. And one of them gadgets is MOXIE — a sumbitch’ that is intended to make oxygen from the CO2 is finds on the surface. Boom! Pow! Reality!
NASA: Testing laser-powered drill to explore Jupiter’s moon, Europa
How the fuck we going to explore Jupiter’s moon, Europa? Eh! It’s iced out as fuck! NASA got itself an idea of how to go about doing it, and it’s begun testing this idea. A fucking laser-powered drill.
NASA tests Flying Saucer, it’s totally a success
It seems fitting that NASA is testing a Flying Saucer in hope it can help us get to Mars. Those fucking Illuminati-Martians have been rolling up on yokels in the middle of the night for half a century, abducting them to work on their terraforming projects. So when we finally take the fight to them, it makes sense we will be doing it in a vehicle not unlike their own.
Astronomer Wizards find EARTH-SIZED Diamond
Man! Astronomer Wizards. Just finding shit in space. Wild shit. Diamonds the size of Earth. Or they could be lying. Truthfully I’d have no fucking way of knowing. But I like the idea of living in such a Universe with gnarly shit like this floating around space.
NASA wants to send QUADCOPTER DRONE to Titan. Oh to dream.
Shout out to NASA. Even if they’re like, totally underfunded, and wrangling with all sorts of bureaucracy, at least they come up with some pretty fantastic ideas. I don’t know how practical they are, and I generally regard them as science-fiction, but I’m on board. Like. A quadcopter drone on Titan? Sold.
Watch: Hubble captures STAR EXPLOSION in four-year time-lapse video
Behold the Universe! Regenerating itself! This four-year time lapse video from Hubble shows a pretty killer star explosion. Reminding us that we ain’t show, but that’s okay because we’re part of something rocking.
Report: NASA totally *can’t afford* manned missions to Mars
So like, bummer. NASA has issued forth a report that finds that the agency cannot afford manned missions to Mars. Inflation and all that happy horseshit precludes the Great Journey. But they ain’t giving up, instead asking the U.S. government to up said budget. C’mon, Uncle Sam. Hook it the fuck up.
