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.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
