Shocked! I tell you Simply Shocked!
This day should be a national holiday. Scott agrees. What is this
universe coming to. The apocalypse is near! 2012 is true its the end
of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

There are billions of galaxies in the universe. Each galaxy containing
billions of stars. Each star having who knows how many planets
revolving around it.
Its simply a game of odds. With that many possibilities, at least one

You probably won't find petroleum, but it could have a lot of mineral

It will be interesting to see if the Drake Equation (http://bit.ly/LR

You guys are looking at it back aspwards. We fit these circumstances
so well because we evolved with them in effect. It would have been

There are some good theories that suggest that the moon was a part of

It really amazes me the number of things that had to go exactly right to

First the universe exists.
Our star is just the right size and temperature.
Earth is just the right distance from it.
The moon exists and is just the right size and has just the right orbit.

given that crude oil is organic plant material that's been fossilized
it would be quite the thing if petroleum is found on the moon.

I cannot count the times I have had to explain some clueless fool that
money spent by NASA is not put in the rocket and blasted into space.
It is spent right here on earth, providing jobs and as you stated, a
very good return on investment in terms of the discoveries and
inventions.
My only objec
Exactly and report after report has shown that for every dollar spent
on NASA there's been a $10 to $20 return. If all one can see are the
dollar signs involved, you have to admit that's a pretty good return
on investment.

Well, the new Hubble is already under construction. This would be an

1) When presented with the need to spend taxpayer's money, always ask

It is really sad that NASA does not have the 1.3 billion funding needed
to complete their new telescope project that would help explain what
dark matter is, among other things.
The way the government spends money, 1.3 billion is nothing for a
project of such potential scientific importance. Th
