[Closed] Dig a hole, get yer tinfoil hat on and pray

A new land speed record attempt. cool...

Hole and tin hat ready.

Don't much see the point in the other thing.

They're Americans. American's believe in God and the Bible. Therefore they believe in Heaven, but haven't found it.

Yet.

So they've been looking for a likely suspect, and now they've found one. I wonder if there are any WMD up there?

Blame it all on Northern bike makers

so what (UK) time will this be announced?

Um I think eastern time is -5 gmt so it'll be 5.30 pm. In reality I think this will just be an attention grabbing scheme by NASA.

It's the Mutant Star Goat, mark my words.

All you middle managers, advertising execs and telephone sanitisers, step this way please 😉

Classic NASA pre-press conference spin.

I'm willing to bet that it'll be about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Yup. I only posted it because it was amusing that it was the "Engineers" headline for the day..

I'm sure I heard on the radio last week that they'd just discovered that the centre of the galaxy contained two huge 'balloons' about a 5th of the size of the galaxy that they'd never noticed before.
Did I just imagine this?

wibble

They've found the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Or else it'll be a comet that looks almost exactly like a thingy.

and the space pirates galleon.

That wasn't NASA, it was someone using new technology to analyse NASA surveys

Turns out it's a black hole that's actually younger than me 😯

As it's in a different galaxy 50 million lightyears away, I think it's safe to say we're probably not doomed.

Mutant Star Goat ref - lol!

You get used to the idea that just about everything in the universe is older than you. But this is younger - that is cool.

I notice that it was an international effort but NASA are taking credit.

Kind of interesting, but I was hoping they'd found our sun's 'dark twin', a Brown Dwarf binary out the other side of the Oort Cloud. It's been suggested for ages, and I'd hoped they'd found it.

Yeah but isn't it 50 million light years away?
So when they say it is 30 years old, they mean it is 50 million and 30. 😕

Yes...bit of confusion there...a copy of Hello magazine got blown onto a NASA telescope by the wind, and it was open at an article on Jordan.

so what did this turn out to be then? I must have missed it in the news.
