Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

The Cassini spacecraft has made its lowest pass yet over the south pole of Enceladus, an active moon of Saturn which may harbour a liquid water ocean. The flyby, at an altitude of 74km (46mi), allowed Cassini to "taste" the jets of ice and water vapour that gush from the moon's polar region. Several lines of evidence suggest these jets are fed by a liquid water ocean beneath Enceladus' outer icy shell.
The spacecraft's closest approach took place at 1930 GMT on Tuesday.
Why are we even wasting money on this crap when we could be subsidizing fuel costs to help struggling mainstreet?!?1

We have the capability to launch and provision a short flight (few year) 'planet occupier' spacecraft to preserve Humanity.
That's about the only reason I can see for this expense.
I won't be on it - I hope not one politician is either.

every lifeboat with more than one person ends up having a lawyer and a politician aboard.
