I'm sure Elon has accident forgiveness......

interplanetary car accident.

I found the article hilarious

Favorite Person in the World right now. This was a real act of inspiration, and greatly needed.

If you were the Starman, and you cranked that Tesla, and hit the touchscreen that says Don't Panic! (in large friendly letters ) would the guide come up? Could you look up directions to the bar that makes the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster? Or to Millways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? I could see Elon Musk taking it all the way and having an actual Hitchikers Guide ebook on there. This all makes me smile and feel happy for some reason!

That would be great if you're roaming the galaxy for millions of years. It's magnificent for sure - an amazing feat of science.

My God, we just found a way to inflict damage on whatever race replaces us! I hope the cockroaches are getting an early start on their space program.

Musk's car may outlive human beings

My guess is the earth will clean up our mess before the Cockroach people take out place on earth and amaze themselves digging up our fossils. I just hope they are smart enough not to use the fossil fuels left by our remains.

For instance, horseshoe crabs have remained basically unchanged for 250 million years. There is always the possibility that some humans will survive and remain unchanged. When the Tesla meteor crashes into the roach people's most populated city, the few remaining humans can tell them, "Whoops, sorry about that."

The Tesla car should pretty much completely burn up on re-entry. But I am sure that the sphincters of the cockroach people will be tight hoping this prediction from a billion years earlier comes true, right or wrong, I hope they don't dig up my fossil.

"Scurry, scurry!"


You know, there is nothing to suggest that the roach people will develop higher intelligence. Kind of like the dinosaurs, they may just be the best at surviving during a given time. What do you suppose the aliens who come to visit a million years from now will think? They will see the Tesla orbiting and believe the inhabitants of Earth to be intelligent. When they touch down on the planet's surface, they will discover that the roach people are its main inhabitants. The poor aliens will be very confused.

they would not consider us intelligent, even remotely.

I think the dumbest question is, "If there is intelligent life out there among the stars, how come they don't make themselves known to us?" A being capable of interstellar travel is not going to waste its time on a planet controlled by insane people shooting at each other four or five times a month. In the real Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy there must be a note sternly warning travelers to stay clear of Earth.

But unlike Christians and others, I believe that God is a vast intelligence instead of a being whose image I came forth as. I am a Deist, I look at nature and how it works and see the work of the vast intelligence. We know less than one billionth of what there is to know, if we even know that much.

Only an uninformed person will conclude that there is no other intelligent life out in the Universe, or many universes. Statically, the probability of there being a lot of intelligent life out there is almost infinitely greater than there being none but us.

I believe we are given the ability to reason and solve problems and we are expected to use that ability, nothing will be given to us easily. I believe that the difficulty of getting to even the closest planet with life is a puzzle that we have the capacity to solve, but solving it won't be easy.

Like you seem to think, I believe that some intelligent life out there has solved that puzzle and some likely have visited our planet, unknown to us. I have seen some really brilliant people talk of the need to get to other planets because of what we are doing to earth. I don't think that the intelligence that is God want us to transport our problems to another planet, that is likely why our getting to another planet is so difficult. I would guess that aliens that have visited our planet have far more intelligence, and most importantly, far more wisdom and empathy that we will possess in 10,000 years, that is why they can visit us but we can't get to them - they won't try to subjugate us or enslave us or rape our resources, because they understand the immorality of such behavior.

out of destroying us!

Us? We'll be long gone

on Tuesday. We suspect Gin Tonic and Bloody Mary's before noon and Johnny Walker after noon pickled her. She has all her faculties but is finding it harder to move around these days.
She and her family were my dad's neighbors and close friends. They all went to school together. Dad's last remaining sister checked out last year in her nineties. They were drinkers

I make a mean one and I used to like scotch. In the last few decades I drink mostly white wine and Red Stripe beer. I can nurse a drink for an entire evening.

And when out of the black comes this 400 year old terrestrial transport device driven by a stone faced dumbass!

Fuckin' thing hit the starboard positioning thrusters before I had a chance to react. God damned ancient jokesters."

Hahahaha See you could write that -you know about these things

How does an unshielded man-made object 1/10th the size of a Space Shuttle crash into Earth without burning up in the atmosphere first, even if there's a remote chance it'll happen in about a million years?

I want to know who the editors who put this out are. How is this even worth a spot in print?

The president farted 12 times today and is expected to fart at least that many times tomorrow. That has about as much relevance today as news is of an object burning up in Earth's atmosphere in a millions years from now.



I'll see you at the March for our Lives marches on March 24, 2018. Now that's news!

Starman comes back early, and he brings the LocNar.

TlalocW

Venus needs a wall.

i could be off by a few years....
