I definitely am happy.However some people debate that space exploration is a waste of money. What is your opinion on this?

Curiosity.
My opinion is that those people are desperately ill-informed and should really do even a little cursory reading of the history of space exploration, and the benefits it has brought us here on Earth, before they run their mouths.
I mean, I personally think that if you don't have a permanent nagging insistence inside yourself to go because it's there, there is something fundamentally wrong with you as a human being - but telling people that won't do much. So just point out the radical material benefits of NASA's work and there's no real answer.
I don't really care.
I heard about this a while ago. I'm gonna buy a Mars bar to celebrate.
Space exploration is important, and it has been ever since the Space Race in the 50's and 60's. Unfortunately, it's hard to justify that importance considering the dreadful state of the U.S. economy.
Just so you all know, Friday, I was at the launch pad where this thing left earth :cool: yeaaaaahhhhhhh.
This is exciting cause the curiosity has a full chemical lab on it so it can do tests right there on mars! I'm sure we'll learn loads of stuff because of it! Yay! SPACE!
To motivate the team, NASA had the clip from playing the original Total Recall that has Arnold saying, "Get your ass to Mars," over and over again. Now all we have to do is start the reactor.
Next we need to send people to Mars. I volunteer.
This is incredibly exciting. Any and all exploration beyond ourselves and what we know is exciting. Which is why we have to, have to fight to bring manned exploration back to the US and smurf the defense industry.
The method of how they landed it on Mars is really amazing to watch. NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover: '7 Minutes of Terror' Animation Video - YouTube
I am so filled with lust right now, but I've no idea what it's aimed at.
GODDAMN SPACE. Hell yeah. Space space space. Ehehehehee! :excited:
EDIT: Also, "cosmic dismount" is my new favourite phrase. Also also, I find 15 successful missions out of a 40 an excellent success rate. Screw you, news.
I'm excited! Atleast we're doing something up there.
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
errybody get up
its time to slam now
we got a real jam goin' down
welcome to da space jam
Dammit they're going to find my secret hideout :(
It'd be pretty cool if we found Sam Tyler there, waiting.
Great news! I'll be keeping track of everything the mission has to offer us over it's duration on Mars. :spin:
I can't find the source graphic now but NASA improves the economy of every single state in the union, from Hawaii to Maine.Quote:

You guys should check newsmap frequently.
You'll get updates on all kinds of technological breakthroughs and other world news. I've been following the Mars rover for a while now (not physically, obviously) and I'm pretty impressed that they actually managed to land it.
Curiosity is the best name. It's the only name. I need to know.
Awesome!
Not a waste of money, but do I wish money spent on NASA was currently going some where else (like in my wallet). Of course!
This is astronomical news!
That's it Rantz you're on Final Warning. Another pun like that and you're gone. :nonono:
What if I make a pun but didn't planet :(
Mars rover, Mars rover send Huxley on over!
The only planet pun I can think of is to do with Jews and Pitta bread, but there's no way to handle it properly.
I see Uranus.
Am I doing this right?
How can you not like space puns, Hux? They are (SPOILER)out of this world.
I'm sorry but I am an ocean pun aficionado.
I can sea that.
Well that shore turned the tides.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
You should shell out for some ear plugs if we're making you crabby.
Whale you're at it, you might as swell listen to music. It'll help drown out the "noise".
You people are the worst. Ever.
Thinking up good sea related puns is a real beach.
You otter try taking a break once in a while. It can help when the ideas aren't flowing.
Freeze you guys, you need to chill out. It's ice to see you all having fun but it's just not cool anymore.
yeah now what? ice beats water, fools. :cool:
Also, Mars seems like it would be a really boring place to visit. Wake me up when Wendy's or Dunkin Donuts colonise it.
Man, I missed this thread turning into a pun thread! I hate it when I space out like that!
SO PRETENTIOUS, OMG.Quote:

To start the reactor so the damn planet get get out of Cohagen's grip.Quote:

I know why they took photos of the ground first. To avoid this trout from happening:
