SpaceX Is Ready For Saturday’s Historic Launch; Commercial Space Domination!
If the Gods smile upon everything tomorrow as we suspect they will, the day will mark the launch of Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket. Gods further willing, the son of a bitch will dock with the ISS for the first of many, many times.
IMAGE: The Andromeda Galaxy Is Our Nearest Neighbor; Damn Sexy.
Ah, the Andromeda Galaxy. It is our nearest galactic buddy in the Local Cluster, and as you can tell from this work of Rock it is quite swanky. Look at it, all a mere 2.5 million light-years away. Taunting us with its splendor.
IMAGE: Star Formation in the Tarantula Nebula. Gorgeous.
The Tarantula Nebula ain’t fucking around, no sir. No ma’am. In fact, it’s the most violent star forming region in the whole goddamn local group of galaxies. Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, you can see allllll sorts of crazy shit going on in this picture.
‘EVE ONLINE’ Developer Sends Its Players To Space; Sort Of. IT’S RAD.
EVE Online is one daunting ass community that I admire from a far. Motherfuckers be trashing each other’s lives with subterfuge on the regular, and that sort of thing would push me over the ledge. I’m already teetering. It ain’t all backstabbing and plotting though, as the community is tight-knit and the developer often respects these dedicated bastards. This week the game’s developer CCP sent its players to space.
Sort of.
Light From Alien SUPER-EARTH Seen For 1st Time. Yeah, NASA!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is getting my goddamn jollies off. Cover your eyes, close your mouth. There’s excite-fluids being flung. NASA has detected light from an alien “Super-Earth” for the first time. How, you ask? Hope you got a minute.
The OMEGA NEBULA Is Real; Clearly Best Nebula Of All.
Yeah, we got our own nebula. Big whup. It ain’t even that fancy. I wish I was consulted when the rest of the gang was choosing our own star-forming section of the Universe, I would have chosen something with more swag.
PHOTO: Black Hole EATING A Star Is Cosmo Destruction Bliss
Bask in the destructive beauty of the cosmos. We go about our daily lives not really contemplating the sheer magnitude of the fury that the Universe can unleash. Right here is a black hole devouring the shit out of a star.
ASTEROID MINING Could Be Against The Law. OH LET US HAVE FUN.
Shit. Shit, shit, shit. Here we go again with The Man preventing us from having any fun. Did you know that there are experts in space law (pretty awesome, actually)? I didn’t. Now one of these astronomical legalese masters is stating that asteroid mining could be against the law.
“Dinosaur-Killer” ASTEROIDS Way More Common Than Thought. Wee!
Apparently Jupiter is like, way slacking. You see, that big gassy son of a bitch is supposed to be our bulwark against cosmic refuse and shit smashing into us and like, ending civilization. Yet according to new reports cataclysmic asteroids used to be way more common than we’d rather think about.
