so i have heard that they plan to retire the space shuttle in 2010...should have been done before now...does anyone know what is on the drawing board to replace the shuttle?

does anyone here think we will ever send people to another star or will it prove to either be just oo long a trip or too difficule to do, etc

i didn't mean for this thread to start any arguments...i was just curious what is the fastest you could go without having to deal with really bad time distortions between those travelling at the high speed and those observing from somewhere else

so how fast would you have to go for the time difference between the person in the ship and someone observing from otside to become noticable?

so hypotetically if you could travel at the speed of light would the trip to a star 10 light years away seem instantanous to you?

i have some confusions regarding the whole travelling at or close to the speed of light....i've you are travelling to a distant object...as you get closer to the speed of light the distance between you and the object shrinks...is that correct? so if you are travelling to an object 10 light years awa...

i know that the pioneer 10 probe has gone silent...i meant that we don't hear much about pioneer as in when we think of deep space probes voyager is usually the first that comes to mind

i do think that pioneer and voyager are 2 of the greatest acheivements in the 20th century

can you visit nebulas and black holes in celestia?

i think voyager has passed pioneer as far as distance goes...pioneer seems like the forgotten probe...you never hear about it much anymore
