Way out there – 3x Thursday: 07/06/y2k+6

1. What do you think of space? Do you think we should explore it, or stay here on Earth and tend to matters here?
Definetly explore it. No question about it. (Because it’s there!)
2. If you could travel anywhere off Earth, where would you go? Why?
Assuming I’m on a tour of sorts I would assume Saturn would offer a bit of choices for this solar system. If I have no restrictions it’d probably be to see a black hole (up close of course).
3. Do you think we’re doing enough to facilitate science? Why/why not? What would you do to change things?
Not a chance. We need more budget for NASA and for the private developers.
Bonus Question for Comments: What are some of your favorite movies about space/take place in space/etc?
All the ones that come to mind are kids movies: Explorers, The Last Star Fighter, Flight of the Navigator (of course). I’m sure there are more but not coming to mind right now.

  1. 2. If you could travel anywhere off Earth, where would you go? Why?

    The Sun, because it’s big and wild place. And it’s short distance to travel to- relative to outer planets or other stellar bodies. If travel time isn’t a consideration {blink & you are there] then the center of galaxy and it’s huge black hole would interesting place. Though generally speaking the Sun would probably be exciting enough and less dangerous. Though if safety wasn’t an issue, then supernova would pretty interesting. And if time is not a limit, then the big bang is obviously a good place for a restaurant.

  2. Definitely, hands down … “The Last Starfighter” I must have seen it at the right time in my life or something because it has a powerful hold on me.

    What is the movie with Kelly Preston and other kids going into outer space? I liked that one, too, and would watch it again.
