Geeez,..Lighten up Chairboy. Some of these people ARE still in school.

You might not want to open that package, it appears to be ticking.

Could be a bomb.

Proxima Centari?

Don't respond, Thrawn!

Russia is crying since the money that keeps them employed has an end in sight.

Funny how they are our "partners" so long as we're upping the big bucks. As them to contribute and they show empty pockets.

Going to the moon, or mars, or where-ever, can be done without them. And that has these guys crying foul.

They're the best friends money can buy

Any sci-fi fan will tell you that establishing a colony on the moon is simply a recipe for disaster. Didn't we learn anything from the show "Space 1999"?

lmao....our sun dumbprettythang:aok

but if your refering to Centari...it will take us about 6 years at light speed...get it...light speed.....If we use our TECH. of today it was said about 50 000 years just to get there:rofl

Russians do know what they are talking about when it comes to space....

they went 1st(thats just to piss you off)....

they stayed longer in space....

they built a space station that lasted way much longer then any American built station.....

Bush's plan is UNREALISTIC as of Today.....

Listen to the experts....you might learn something

If folks had "listened to the experts" throughout history, we'd all probably still be living in mud huts.

LMAO GoFaster...

I remembered that series growing up..had all the toys...the "Eagle"...the staple-gun like phaser gun, etc...

My brother remembered how I loved it as a kid and bought me the entire collection on DVD. So one snowy day I popped one into the player...and after 20 minutes, it was all the corny 70's style I could sit thru.

My upstairs neighbor loved that show and watched every DVD

Thrawn wins a "Gold Star". hehe

Yep Proxima Centauri.

Alpha Centauri is the nearset start system to our own sun. Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest to us in this 3 star system.

Alpha Centauri A and B are actually pretty close to each other as far as stars go. Slightly more than the distance between Sol and Uranus.

Alpha Centauri A is the same type of star as our sun, and I believe the brightest of the 3.

So, how far away is Proxima centauri?
I leave it to you to look up/ find out if it interests you.

cheers,

RTR
