Hmm... seems like I have to strugle with my body on tight turns... instead of moving along with the whole car body.

What?

Here's a robot that powers itself by eating flies.

pretty friggin cool...

now if only that robot would eat some of the members here. :p

I'd buy that for a dollar.

This is what I like to call the WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE thread... :D

tell me about it!!!! Just how long before that bug eating machine figures out it can eat people for more power?!?!? :o It's the Matrix all over again!!!

Boldly going where no man has gone before:

Probe touches down on Titan

Hopefully the probe takes some nice pics of methane breathing life forms standing around and pointing at the space probe

NASA tv is reporting that the probe transmitted for at least 90 minutes after touchdown.

Provided there's any kind of interpretable data in that transmission, this ought to be incredibly interesting.

I also read somewhere that a scientist had said it was a "soft" landing surface. Maybe some kind of snow or slush? Man, I really hope they have some pics to show us soon.

According to the press conference, first pics should be coming out at roughly 3PM EST, or 2 and a quarter hours from now...

The Eagle has landed!

Wow it looks pretty much like a martian desert over there. Except different. I wish they'd done up some color pics <_< Anyway, its a very good day for NASA. Hopefully we'll hit some of Jupiter's moons next.

The descent imager camera doubles as a spectral radiometer - which, in English, means it should be capable of registering light wavelength, i.e. color. I'd bet that we'll be seeing some full color images in the days ahead...

So far, the little probe has exceeded anybody's expectations. Mind you, I being the pessimist, thought that something might go wrong (ranging from it didn't work to the parachute not opening), but I'm quite happy to see what Titan looks like. Hope for colour pictures soon...

So, next we send a rover to Titan? If so, we'll need to figure out a way to power the thing, as solar panels won't cut it.

Would it be possible to have the rover use the atmosphere of Titan to power it?

Some more info on Titan: http://www.solarviews.com/eng/titan.htm

The color pics came in and Titan is....orange??? I guess I expected it to be blue. I was actually hoping the probe would land in a Titan ocean, but the fact that it made it there and actually landed and managed to send back over an hour's worth of data is a very impressive feat to me.

Has anyone heard if they're going to release that sound recording the probe's microphone made? Apperently it's just Titan wind, but it would still be cool to listen to.

I was disappointed when I found out the Mars rovers didnt have microphones, since the last probe before them did but was lost before it could be used.

Are you talking about this and that? :)

anybody else weirded out by these coincidences?

real: NASA lands and launch rovers on Mars.

fiction: Macross lands on Mars and deploy units. (tv-ep)

real: Euro-space agency landed the Huygen on Titan.

fiction: Macross ambushed at Titan (dyrl)

What's next on the coincidence-list? Protoculture city-ruins on earth?

Just weird coincidences, I tell yah.

:pB))

dunno about those pics you linked, man, but the pics found at the site below are verifiable and under major research-study/investigation, and Earth-side.

It's just off the sea of Japan:

behold! it's the Protoculture-City ruins!!!

just like in dyrl. :o:p;)

Treatment, thanks for posting that. That's a very good question to why such a find has gotten so little press stateside.... I'll bet you anything had it been located elsewhere like say in the Atlantic ocean, it would be all over the news as the possible "Lost City of Alantis". :rolleyes: Great discovery tho.

That's pretty rad. My first reaction from the pics was that it seemed kinda Aztec-ish. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some connection between ancient Asian cultures and pre-columbian South America.

I actually saw a show on the History Channel (yes, I actually watch the History Channel) about those ruins and it was very interesting. They had divers from National Geographic taking pictures of the site and commenting that they were pretty convinced that it was man made. Of course, they trotted out a geologist who tried to debunk it, but he didn't come off very convincing to me. But then they brought out Graham Chapman who really doesn't have a lot of credibility, but has some great theories about ancient cultures.

Well folks, time will tell whether the ancients had access to the sumerian stargate and if the legends of rebel god's who gave us humans forbidden knowledge and technology stolen from heaven is true or not:

I can see why we really went to war in iraq now: Germans & russians vs US for control of ancient tech. Just like in macross zero there will probably be a competition for control of such technology and we will find out whether this will link our world with the aliens' ones. :D
