QUOTE(Deadlocks @ Jul 2 2009, 04:53 AM) TS. They went up, sure. But they didn't get very far though. Furthest man has gone is Moon.Ever looked up the sky and wondered? People had, and went up to check what's up.  Voyager 1 is almost 15 light hours out, bout 3x distance from Pluto. This post has been edited by pleasuresaurus: Jul 2 2009, 09:18 PM |

What if mere "repairing" doesnt work? then humans suddenly find out they're stranded on a dying planet with no means of escaping. QUOTE(vivienne85 @ Jul 7 2009, 11:16 AM) being part of the magnificent universe Quite a number of technologies that are currently in use today had their roots in sci-fi (novels mostly, since movies are usually derived from literary works). Maglev trains, satelites, genetic engineering, terminator genes, even rail guns! Sci fi is a wealth of ideas, and not all of it is far-fetched as u might think.  but then, sci-fi movies are the ones that make us think that certain things can be created.. One good example is the Star Wars saga... Of course Star Wars is something else...excuse me while i play jedi mind tricks on my officemates  |

I'm a lil curious though: what do we gain from exploring deeper into the sea vs exploring further out into space? Wouldn't it make sense to go beyond he limits of earth, with its finite supply of resources?
