I will always hope to my dying day (may 20th 2124- F.A cup day) that what is actually out there is very very similar to the plot of Mass effect.
Not the giant robots part, the technology we need on mars part.....left by giant said robots.
Did anybody watch Space Live on Channel 4 last night? Probably the best tv program I've seen for many many years.
Also Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - Essential viewing for everybody, but more importantly kids and novices.
It was fantastic, we should be working together to explore space. Its fascinating, especially hearing about Nasa's test launch in 2017 to send a spaceship manned into the van Allen belt. It will be the first since the Apollo missions to the moon, if you actually believe they went ( I don't)
NASA have a few free ones I think... There's also Google Sky Map which I find great cuz it's actually useful!What are the best space apps? Cheers.
Scientists say they have extraordinary new evidence to support a Big Bang Theory for the origin of the Universe.
Researchers believe they have found the signal left in the sky by the super-rapid expansion of space that must have occurred just fractions of a second after everything came into being.
It takes the form of a distinctive twist in the oldest light detectable with telescopes.
The work will be scrutinised carefully, but already there is talk of a Nobel.
"This is spectacular," commented Prof Marc Kamionkowski, from Johns Hopkins University.

"I've seen the research; the arguments are persuasive, and the scientists involved are among the most careful and conservative people I know," he told BBC News.
The breakthrough was announced by an American team working on a project known as BICEP2.
This has been using a telescope at the South Pole to make detailed observations of a small patch of sky.
The aim has been to try to find a residual marker for "inflation" - the idea that the cosmos experienced an exponential growth spurt in its first trillionth, of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second.
Amazing news -
Cosmic inflation: 'Spectacular' discovery hailed
And we still cant find that plane!
What plane mate?
Seriously?
I've seen no plane round these parts mate
Think we are losing each other in internet irony mate!
To clear it up, scientists have discovered an echo of a bang from billions of light years away, but we cant find that Malaysian plane that is still missing from 9 days ago.
lol I know. I was just trying to make a funny![]()
