Our universe is so rad!

[Kaius]

So, why we do we think it's a good idea to send people there?

Because we can! And it's cool!

It seems like we should skip Mars.

Venus seems cooler to me

Let's probe it.

Cool

[E.H. Ruddock]

Holy shit, the Russians landed a probe on venus a while ago. Some of the images are pretty cool

[Norah]

yeah, in 1975

Cool

I saw that.

How would I have known that, Pete

The same way Pete knows it. Google.

What can you tell me about missions to Uranus?

That's privileged information, Corporal.

Oh man this is so cool!

Cryovolcano just sounds fucking cool

[E.H. Ruddock]

Also, the discovery of a volcano that spews ice instead of lava is a way bigger announcement than that bullshit Mars announcement the other day

[nyquillyn]

Meh. We've know for some time that Pluto is pretty much 50 percent ice and 50 percent rock, so a Cryovolcano isn't that shocking and we've already seen Cryovolcanoes on Triton, Enceladus and Titan.

[Norah]

Yeah guys, get with the times.

[LoathedVermin72]

Ice and rock vs. being geologically active is a pretty huge difference. You jaded fucks.

[nyquillyn]

Sorry. I actually wasn't trying to shit on the news. It is cool, but they found/announced the mountains in July, so it kinda makes sense they'd discover a cryovolcano or two.

[E.H. Ruddock]

So I've been thinking a lot about this lately. If life at its core is one cell, then multiple, then millions and so on, and miniscule, then larger and larger, who is to say that the planet, solar system, galaxy, etc. isn't just part of a larger organism?

[Simple Torture]

In theory, I guess there's nothing stopping that from being true. At first I was going to be like, "Well, there's so much empty space in the universe." But atoms are like 99.999999% empty space, so it's not inconceivable.
