- listrophy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+87I just don't understand why people want to continually cut funding to space science and exploration. Even without the war, NASA would be languishing in its current budget state anyway.
I'm a big fan of the genre, but perhaps Science Fiction, in general, is adversely affecting our perception of actual space-related accomplishments? - vroom101, on 10/10/2007, -1/+62http://chamorrobible.org/images/photos/gpw-200702-49-NASA-ISS007-E-10807-space-sunset-20030721-Pacific-Ocean-large.jpg
- shyner, on 10/10/2007, -3/+60Man.. I love our planet. Honestly, it's so beautiful.
- Apokalyps2547, on 10/10/2007, -1/+53Great view of southern Italy and much of Greece. Thusly Dugg.
- danwallace, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40Wait... that's not America.
Fake. - RedeyeAP, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30You realize that last year American's spent roughly the same amount of money on Valentine's Day that they did on Space Exploration... b$17. Am I the only person that this makes very very sad?
- RogerStrong, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27If you were there, it would. Vacuum's like that.
- socomoddjob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27dugg for my new desktop.
- JCSaint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23So that's what I'm looking at. I've been turning my head left and right trying to figure out where the hell that was.
- markp93, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21It would be breath-taking, considering space is a vacuum.
- gmiley, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Shoot, I live here, and I don't even believe there are 6 billion "intelligent" organisms here either.
- disrupter, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19I can see my house
- julianrod, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18So much for the Flat Earth Society...
- RogerStrong, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14No, he made a *commitment* to give more money to NASA.
He did not honor the commitment. - speccy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12"That’s home. That’s us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam."
Taken from "Our pale little blue dot", by Carl Sagan - zadadka, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Because space, where the image was taken, is a vacuum .... idiot.
- vroom101, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Via NASA's STS-118 Shuttle Mission Imagery, S118-E-09467, 19 August 2007:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-118/html/s118e09467.html - disrupter, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13touché
- zKman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11He's talking about the blobfish

http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/race/media/photo_gallery/photos/Cottidae/psyphrthree.jpg - KragTheDigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11oh my, that looks like Southern Italy and Greece.... and yet no Sparta comments have appeared yet... ehr... oops, I think I just did...
- Apokalyps2547, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8*****
- mythicflux, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8JK == Just Kidding
(Translation for the we-tod-did!) - punchinelli, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Seeing pictures like this makes me realize how small humans are in comparison to Earth. It seems common sense that we are that small, but Jesus Christ, our planet is huge....any aliens passing by would never believe there were 6 billion intelligent organisms on this water-filled planet
- gordonf238, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12Not really. Buying your g/f a gift and taking her out for dinner guarantees you getting laid. What does sending men to the Moon guarantee you? Impotence at zero G?
- gordeaoux, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Bush barely gave more money to NASA then previous presidents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Budget
Furthermore, his moon-Mars directive has gutted most scientific endeavours (such as robotic exploration, basic earth science, and space telescopes)
Edit: Direct link to NASA budget graph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NASA_budget_linegraph_BH.PNG - Shirleycakes, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8...intelligent?
- DrummerAndrew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7That's pretty cool. But....
will it blend? - rnreekez, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10You guys are both idiots. Those are not strings. those are the longitude and latitude lines. Read a map, douche.
- MeMongo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Oh, wow. You're right. I should have seen that, but the angle of the photo threw me off. You must be a super-genius!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Iraq war to date 600 BILLION and tens of thousands of destroyed American families. A moon base maybe 1 trillion, and a nation that is patriotic and proud, productive, etc...
I take the later any day. - DiggsOnlyJew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Sentient would be more applicable.
- NJank, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"6 billion intelligent organisms on this water-filled planet"
yeah, and there's 6 billion humans, too!
edit: not as funny as if it had been first reply. will remember to refresh page first next time. - OsiVert, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I think you mean:
"Space. It seems to go on and on forever, but then you get to the end and a giant monkey throws barrels at you."
Bender Approves - TeCuervo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5But... where are all the stars? This is a sound stage... a very, very large sound stage...
- JCSaint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4This is obviously a hoax perpetrated by the same people who faked the moon landing. Flat Earth Society FTW!
- MrSidnet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Buried. Should be in the Picture section.
oh wait... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You need to give your organs to someone who would appreciate the glorious wonder that is called Earth.
- metasin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4nope, your comment is breathtakingly stupid, and AMAZINGLY boring. and the cliches live on....
- aDJsavedmylife, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=38.536341&lon=18.102448&z=7.4&r=339&src=ggl
I reckon you're correct.. - BOBcat5785, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Entire STS118 gallery here:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-118/ndxpage1.html - IFLYC5z, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Here's more... http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/
- osfn8, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Putting humans in orbit itself is a great accomplishment. As is going to the moon; having at least one human in orbit at all times since 2000; landing probes on several planets, moons, and asteroids; and providing the tools necessary to help us understand the universe better.
- sparquay, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Me too! First I thought maybe south of Florida, then I thought it might have been some where in the Phillipines or something. But Apokalyps has it spot on. I guess I need to work on my geography.
- seanc6610, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3it's not? war, famine, hunger, drought, and genocide, are all signs of being healthy?
and that's not even considering our environmental impact on the globe. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4If you don't find a picture like that amazing, you're very dull.
What do you want to see a picture of?
*shakes head with despair* - Cyberen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3zero-g sex?
- zKman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3.
- Jugalator, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6It sure looks healthier than what it is from out there. And it's all we got...
- EllimistX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I see what you did there...
- mashw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Oh shutup, we're doing the best we can.
