- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+308Space is awesome.
- Uranium118, on 10/11/2007, -2/+121"Hyperion" that's a badass name.
- AmericansRevolt, on 10/11/2007, -3/+113space is absolutely unbelievable. i cannot understand why most people dont take any interest whatsoever.
- SmackMyMac, on 10/11/2007, -10/+78I see the sequel for Armageddon.
Armageddon 2: Same Crap, Different day. - ChristianBk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+66It's a GIANT WASP'S NEST. Alien wasps!
- Hipple, on 10/11/2007, -0/+61Sometimes I'm sad because I won't live long enough to see all the cool ***** that humans will find one day in space. I just wish I had been born a few centuries later.
- SolipsismX, on 10/11/2007, -2/+53Think of how much skin we could exfoliate with that thing
- theNthDoctor, on 10/11/2007, -1/+42Only 300km? Nobody get too attached, eventually it will be demoted from 'moon' to 'hobbit moon.'
- FadieZ, on 10/11/2007, -3/+39looks like a giant sponge
- RussellDovey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28Just stay alive for as long as you can; immortality is getting closer and closer...
- Lister169, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29That's no moon...oh wait...
- RobotCitizen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26I hear you, but remember that you are alive and experiencing all the cool stuff today that people 100 years ago wished they could live to see. There will always be people wishing to see a better tomorrow.
- McLumpy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+29Oh, I don't know that they "don't take any interest." I think most people agree that space is cool, or at least interesting. It's just that most people aren't geeks, so they don't try to learn as much about the subject as they possibly can.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21People would show much more interest if there were ways for them to experience it. The fact that we are still using glorified bottle rockets, and at a ridiculous expense, pretty much eliminates just about everyone from ever being able to truly take part. If you can't go there, telescopes are pretty much the limit to how interested and involved you can get.
- sundancekid503, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21"Hyperion the Freaky Ice Moon" would be a great name for a rapper
- LatvianHedgehog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Wonder no more who lives in a pinapple under the sea ...
- Durrok, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Same way it makes your face look weird.
- sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -6/+23I will name it George and I will hug it and cuddle it...
- waterboy1628, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14I saw one of those in the ocean before. But it was much smaller.
- ceresian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12An excellent Loofah it'd make.
Space is awesome, and my next kid will be named Hyperion. ;) - whoaohh, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14We are alive at the most pivotal point in human history. It is our generation and the next that will decide what becomes of our species. The world today is so interconnected (for the first time in history, the action of a man in China can directly affect another man half way across the world within milliseconds), our populations are getting so big, our ideas and policies are becoming so drastic, the education gap is growing wider and wider (see 1 in 5 Americans believe the Sun revolves around the Earth), etc. I hate to sound pessimistic, but there is a huge chance that there won't be a "few centuries later" for us. There is room for change, however. We need the spirit humanity had 100 years ago. Hell, the spirit we had 50 years ago might even be enough. Be happy you're alive today. You are going to experience more than any human born within the millions of years of our existence could have ever dreamed.
- mfratt, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10The president's advisers believe that a nuclear blast can melt the ice moon.....yea well that nimmwat got a C- in astrophysics.
- TheWorm, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Hopefully we don't kill our own planet before we are able to find out all the cool stuff about other planets.
- Rikkochet, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8The aliens won't have oil; they'll be burning Elerium-115.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10That reminds me- I gotta throw out that moldy lime thats been sitting on the counter for months.
- KUKBAHLAM, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Dugg for direct and working link.
- jmorgan1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Speak for yourself. Space exploration may one day help bring the world together.
- Deodrus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Hyperion is also the name for a Hugo Award-winning 1989 science fiction novel by Dan Simmons. It's really gripping. Worth a read if you're into sci-fi (^_^)
- injury0314, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Spongebob Squarepants!!!
oh, i couldn't stop myself. - mehbored, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Jim Raynor's Battle Cruiser anyone?
- Vodka23, on 10/11/2007, -5/+11May be it was your genitals.
- powlol, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Is that where Han Solo hid with the Millennium Falcon?

- urbandistrict, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I just wish that one day NASA would post a rendered image of an alien colony or fortress on a moon as a joke.
Something like http://features-temp.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/45629/45629_1094194253.jpg to freak people out.
April 1, 2008? - SerifTheRobot, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"Contents of space wasp's stomach"

- jstohler, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4not yesterday -- today.
- Vodka23, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Right click, set as desktop background.
- floppyparty, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3That's what I was thinking. I think it's a little underwhelming following the introduction.
- ScottoGato, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5"That's no moon..."
- theNthDoctor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3That's what I was going to say... how the heck did this thing end up looking like a gigantic sea sponge?!
- poseitom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It's a Space Sponge.
- dustysquareback, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3and....... down.
- fsagus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3There's no money in space, the capitalistic society most of the world capable of further exploring and developing in space has developed into does not enjoy pouring money into something seemingly profitless. Even back during the space race, they only spent the money because they wanted to do it before anyone else did (Russians/Americans). The race is over and there's more interest in space from private companies (and I think that's where the future of space will be.) There's an interesting article in the previous issue of Wired about the future of the private space industry.
As for ordinary people, well, it just doesn't effect their daily lives or society enough to interest them. Also you have to make an effort to research the stuff to find the cool bits, it doesn't just play on TV for you all the time and you can immerse yourself in it. (AKA, too many people are idiots.) - ScottoGato, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Have you seen space.com? Have you space.com...on weed?
- Xinex, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I wish I could digg this comment up more.
