Distance to Mars

I just wish space exploration didn't lose it's steam in the 90's. We could have made a man mission to Mars by now or at least pretty close if we had more commitment. Call me an idealist star trek nerd but space is the final frontier and if we ever want to know more about ourselves we will one day have to explore it and seek life if it is out there. To me all our cultural issues here are Earth seem so meaningless in the grand scheme of our planet and where we are in space. I wish we could just focus on peace and space.

I love stuff like this. Just think that this is just to the next planet over, about 0.00000062363 light years away (about 20 light minutes). Think about how long it would take to get out of our solar system!

Our best guess is that there is around 10 billion solar systems in our galaxy alone, which is 100,000 light years wide. We live around 25,000 light years from the edge of the Milky Way. If we ever make it out of the Milky Way, there are only about 100 billion other galaxies in the universe, many of which are much larger than the Milky Way. Really cool stuff.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.

      It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
