The Dragon has landed!  Splash down complete...........

Not nearly as exciting as it was several years ago........

but still kind of cool.

Crap!  I meant to watch that and completely forgot about it.

There was not much to see.......the video was NOT good at all.  They did not show the splash down....very anti-climatic.

It's 9:11 P.M. and I just got up to close the blinds. My townhouse faces east, and there in the sky, just above the trees, was the very bright rising full moon. Because of the background light, haze, etc., we don't often get a view, a contrast like that. Almost like dark cloudless WV sky.

Cosmic smashup predicted, but Earth will survive

Don't worry about when the world as we know it might end. NASA has calculated that our entire Milky Way galaxy will crash into a neighboring galaxy with a direct head-on hit—in 4 billion years.

Astronomers in a NASA news conference Thursday said that years of observations from the Hubble Space Telescope provide grisly details of a long-anticipated galactic smashup. Astronomers had seen the Andromeda galaxy coming at us, but thought there was a chance that its sideways motion would make it miss or graze the Milky Way. Hubble readings now indicate that's not the case.

I don't think our planet will be habitable by that point anyway.  ;D

Heck, with the vast distances involved, we might already be dead but just don't know it.  :eek:

. . .The National Science Foundation has just revealed the existence of not one, but two pristine, Hubble-class space telescopes, still in their original wrappings, in a warehouse in Rochester, N.Y. The pair was originally built for the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency in charge of spy satellites, to look down at Earth rather than up into space. But the NRO has moved on to bigger and better instruments, and decided to hand the telescopes over. . .

  Since the Republicans are so Anti-science, do you think they will let us put them up.  What a great chance to give more scientist to research the Universe.  I think it would be great.  But then, I think science is great, greater the religion ever was.   :smile:

Good question. How the hell are they going to get them into orbit now?
