Have just watched the Horizon episode about the Curiosity landing and I can see it going severely tits up lol. Too complex, too many things to go wrong. Will be an absolutely amazing achievement if they manage to do it!!! I'm really hoping it all works out as I'm really interested to see if there was life on Mars hundreds of millions of years ago.

The theory about hyperspace travel I mentioned earlier is based on work by Burkhard Heim, and two guys have expanded on it. Currently there's no way of creating a magnetic field large enough I think but who knows...we may see something happening in the next half century or so. Travelling to Mars in 3 hours. Nice!

Apparently they discovered cats existed on Mars, but curiosity killed them.

Difference between science and faith :

Science is firmly based on theories which are based on matter of fact.
Sometimes, science can be wrong as theories are disproved, prehaps as a result of technology and knowledge progression, however, the core principle of science is to discover facts.. or the truth.

Faith is firmly based on theories which can not proven/unproven.
Faith is simply that, believing in something that defies reason and sometimes it actually requires you to reject fact.. something that in certain cases, can be a life-threatening situation.  Martin Luther King once said "Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has." I think that sums up my opinion on faith - if you believe in reason, you can't truly have faith.


So Im afraid, I agree with the general opinion that Ross' argument is garbage.. whilst science can be disproven and pluto very well may be exactly what he says... the science behind anything in life does not try to deceive you, it is based on actual facts.  Knowing that, I can pick up an astromony book and believe it as fact quite easily....  If I pick up a bible, one of the first things to note is a talking snake and that the world is only around 6000 years old... both things go against logic, reason and every knowledgeable thing we know as humans.

There's another one here. ;D

Here's an interesting fact, and is probably inspiration for these things: elephants are physically incapable of jumping. Think it has something to do with their knees if I remember correctly. 8)

Elephant's knees, eh?, or the lack of them don't seem to be hampering this chappie's technique, he's a natural.

No he's not. Someone just cut out the part at the beginning where someone threw it off the top of a tall building lol ;D

They don't have to jump, we all know the African ones can fly with their big ears. I've seen Dumbo, I know it's true.
