ET Phone Home – The Science Of Wasting Taxpayers’ Money
When one of the most famous and highly promoted science fanboys starts to question the official narrative about exploring distant galaxies, meeting exotic aliens (and inviting them all to come to earth and live on welfare in the western democracies) we have to wonder did he fail to win the prize for whackiest theory at this year’s Star Trek convention or something?We could be mining the moon for minerals by 2016 according to space mining researchers from around the world. These star trek geeks scientists are gathering at the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Science Research (ACSER) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney for the inaugural Off Earth Mining Forum.
The scientists are looking at developing machines that can harvest materials from lunar soil while being remotely controlled from earth.
Experts in space exploration, engineering, robotics, drilling and a space lawyer shared ideas about how existing technologies can be applied to develop remote-controlled mining in space.
Then when they’ve done that all they have to do is build a spaceship big enough to get a worthwhile payload off the moon’s surface and strong enough to cope with the stresses of re entry into Earth’s atmosphere.
These people really do not live on the same planet as us do they?

Re’ the sh*t head alien geeks among us.
Never strike-out the truth, good man!

I don’t mind Star Trek geeks, its the Jane Austen fanatics that creep me out.

Yeah, sounds like a great idea….using up God-knows-how-many gallons of precious fuel to extract minerals from the moon. Sheer lunacy!

Another bunch are talking about colonising these ‘earth like planets’ they might or might not have discovered orbiting stars 100 light years away.
If we had a spacecraft that could travel at one tenth of the speed of light (18,600 miles per second) the round trip would take 40 years.
Currently our fastest spacecraft goes 8 miles per second if it is travelling towards the sun and therefore is helped by gravity (i.e. going downhill with a following wind).
The gap between science and reality seems to be widening.

Now there is a happy thought. What with Mar Bars and Milky ways there is bound to be a chocolate seam somewhere on the moon 😀

Please tell me you are not one of those people who would phone 999 because you ran out of cocolate after the shops close.
I heard a story last week about a guy who called the emergency number because he was hungry and the chip shop was shut.
