electricity comes from other planets

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Yeah, I guess "Halley" was taken, after all.

one of the things i find most moving about space exploration is that you literally can't do it on your own. it requires a team.

feel like this is generally interesting as far as technology/knowledge, like its unfathomable that someone could be smart enough to figure out how to send a lil dude through space for ten years and land on this guy so far away, but really no one is that smart

jesus was an alien

Planets are made out of comets and comets are made out of stars

Yeah I mean it's kind of a trivial statement that one person can't physically build a space mission, like one person can't build a cathedral.

But yeah more interesting is the fact that one person cannot conceive a space mission or hold it in their head.

Systems thinking

Jesus was an alien though it's true

only 90s kids will understand

they are all made of stars

humans evolved from fungus spores that floated here through space

will never be able to hear this phrase without thinking about liverpool tickets fiasco

here is some good SYSTEMS THINKING

what was the ticket fiasco

Liverpool Tickets Fiasco

oh man joe you are in for a classic incomprehensible british humor/dj martian clowning/ronan and gareth at their finest treat

Liverpool Tickets Fiasco

What a mess !
A comet is hard to land on !

Systems Thinking can solve this problem:

analyse the problem then find solutions in a holistic manner

thick bastard !

alrighty will give it a lookyloo m8s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_thinking ha it's actually a term of art, not a djm original?

Yes! It's a big social engineering/human behavior thing!

lmaooo this really lived up to the hype cheers

systems thinking is basically like when you call comcast and they tell you to unplug the modem, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in

SVEN and TORD unaware of SYSTEMS GOTHWAVE/IDM DEVELOPMENTS. still playing KAISER CHIEFS in DRESSING ROOM... KRAUTS AND SPICS make us LAUGHING STOCK. Barwick needs to act NOW. VINI REILLY must be installed as ROBOT PRIME MINISTER

\(O_O)/

caek i enjoyed your pretty diagram thing there. are we still in contact with any of those fellows heading out into interstellar space? i do not know how anything works.

caek did you like TARS or CASE more

i couldn't tell them apart?

xxp plenty

new horizons is going strong: reaches pluto next year, first time we've gone there, that is going to be a big deal

opportuntity has been tooling around on mars for for 10+ years (which is amazing because it was supposed to work for 90 days)

also voyager 1 which was discovered in the first star trek movie is still going after 40 years

v cool, ty

Think at least one of these fellows recently did a flyby of Uranus

i guess that explains the draft *lights exploding cigar*

w/e call me back when pluto clears its zone

good a place as any to say that jose canseco is losing his mind about the comets on twitter and y'all should check it out

he shot his finger off w a gun the other day

Jose Canseco @JoseCanseco · 3h 3 hours ago
Comets are faster than anything we could ever build and have their own power solving are two problems

yessss

former slugger, finger-shooter-offer, comet surfer

How much is even in the budget for development of space lassos and comet harnesses? Probably mere millions when it should be billions. Obama has fucked us all again.

of all the things to have a Twitter meltdown over, this one's relatively noble

Unrelated, but I had always thought there was something just a little ~ off ~ about Los Angeles' bland skyline and just recently learned that all the skyscrapers were mandated to be flat on top to make room for the helipads. That's why there are no Chrysler or TransAmerican Buildings in L.A. Never knew that.

Never noticed that huge comet in the background either. Maybe I saw it on that Bob Seger cover, I'll have to go look.

The LA skyscraper thing started in the mid 70s and was just repealed this year, I think.

i have a friend who works for the ESA and via his Facebook posts they seem like pretty chill peeps irl
