ok i have been thinking a lot about this. There are so many planets out there, we don't evern know what is there in most of them. What about the space, and beyond these planets we know of? Im wondering could there be more planets or what could there be ? Is it just dark or maybe is there another world, like ours,earth, where there are people but maybe it is to far that we can never have contact with each other. Will we ever find anything else besdies empty planets and will we ever be able to go further than marrs to explore more? i hope we can, and while im alive, i want to know waht's out there cause it seems so interesting, i don't thikn it's possible for a space so big and only earth have living things. maybe there other planets like us, or maybe there is another planet like earth but has no living things?? what do you think is out there in that space? are there other living things? and not just aliens but whatever you think ther is, i would like to know.

I think space is amazing. But I don't think there are other living things. I think it's just for us to wonder and look at. It's quite possible that there are other living things, because space is so big, but.. I dunno.

[DjLuki]

oh yea, do we have a specific size of how big space is ? or is it just infinite?

[tdktank59]

space is infinite currently the universe is expanding and will keep doing that until the gravitational pull at the center can no longer hold it in then it may emplode or something...

we cna figure that out by using the dopler effect with stars.

If there is not anohter lifeform out there capable of thought then why is there so much space? there would be no pourpose... so i belive that there is more stuff out there!


Also we have gotten past mars... Voyager 2 satilite was going past venus last i check a few years ago but i think we lost signal with it...

We are looking at mars because at one time i could support life. and we may end up terraforming it so it can support life at one poitn in the future..

I jsut did a report on space exploration and in the year 2050 we hope to have a moon base for further launches into space and have a cheap yet affordable space program for the public!!!


but then again thats all speculation but if we set our minds to it and get rid of all the ethical people it could happen... also gotta get the goverment to stop doing idiotic things... and focus on ohter better things...

I think the two biggest issues with exploration into space are
-Time
-Money

Doesnt it take like 122 years to get to Pluto in a rocket or something?? I dont see how it would work and it would cost billions, first to build a rocket that big, and preservatives, 122 years lol, not to mention water.

Space bases would work, itd be ALOT of money and the fuel will probably run out by then anyway lol.

well also look at this once an object starts moving in space it keeps going it dosnt stop... untill the opposite force is used...

so all you ahve to do is get going at a speed turn off the jets/boosters w/e they are and keep going using the planets for a slingshot effect to get going faster the only problem would be slowing down...

also you can filiter the water onboard by taking the waste of human piss and disting it to make it safe to drink once again makiing it a long ongoing cycle of water... just have a big tank enought to last for about a week and the rest just gets recycled... only problem would be the food....

I think that they should focus their attention an how to make a space ship not powered by rockets but by solar which would mean that they would have unlimeted power untill the suns rays no longer reached the solar panels.

I think that the liklihood of there NOT being living organisms SOMEWHERE in our virtually infinite amount of mass all plunked around throughout space is almost as big as a number approaching infinitely small. Think about it. There's 1 planet out of 9 in our solar system that we know supports life. What about the millions, billions, trillians, etc etc solar systems in this galaxy alone? I'd be surprised if there was no life other than us in the Milky Way. But then look at the thousands, millions, etc etc of galaxies, each with as large an amount of solar systems within it as the milky way. Wow. Think about it. How could there NOT be any more organisms than that which lives on Earth?

That wouldn't get you very far at all. The suns rays aren't even visable far past Jupiter, or something like that. If you're talking about universe exploration, solar isn't really a good way to go...

I was thinking about this, what if we could just make something so light, almsot like paper that would just flow in the air by itself.. and attach a camera with some batteries that would last a long time and let the thing float wherver it goes, maybe it will land somewhere interesting. Somewhere further than we could get to by rockets. we can just send it to a space station and than let it out from there. Mars really look like some parts of australia, why don't we just send like somewater there see waht happens, maybe some kind of animal?? see if it oculd survive than maybe try to send humans. I hope we can also send more robots into other planets besides mars, what's taht one called where it's all ice.. could ther ebe any fish? lol i want to see what that one has.do we know what other planets are made of? like is there one that has water and land like earth? or they're all like mars?

I don't think we will ever find another life system like ours.

The Earth can be said to be a miracle. For any planet to support life, they must be separated from the Sun (their own Sun) by at least 2 and not more than 3 smaller planets and protected by at least 1 but not more than 2 bigger planets. We are separated from the Sun by Mercury and Venus, and are protected by Mars and Jupiter whose gravitational fields prevent comets from crashing into the Earth. This, in combination with a delicate balance of gravitational field strength, ensures that the Earth gets its supply of energy from the Sun while maintaining suitable temperature for life to evolve. Such complex conditions mean that the chances of having another system out there that supports life are very minute. Further, given the extensive space capacity, the chances of us finding them, or them finding us, are negligible.
