Wow, that ending.

That was actually a good watch, and very conclusive. Attacked it from a different angle than most people are used to.

I want to try something like coloring the photos.

That was a pretty good video, I agree. In particular, the ending

[martinuzz]

Apparently Russia wants to join in on the Star Wars.
Starting april this year, for a period of 5 months, a unidentified Russian satellite has positioned itself in between two US communications satellites, closing in to a distance of only 10km, which in space terms, is classified as "extremely close and potentially threatening to the proper functioning of the communications sattelites."

Apparently, this is the first time ever that a commercial satellite was visited by a Russian satellite.

Attempts made by American authorities, who had been alarmed about the situation by Intelsat, to contact Russian authorities about the matter, have only resulted in silence.

It is speculated that the sattelite's mission was either to intercept data transmissions, or to practice maneuvering to take down sattelites.
Over the past few months, more Russian sattelites have been observed to execute maneuvers that resemble combat training for anti-satellite operations.

Space flight expert at the Technical University of Delft (The Netherlands), Eelco Doornbos states that "the observed operations could imply that the Russians are practicing how to maneuver military satellites quickly and efficiently to new locations."

I bet they hooked in some cables and are now stealing all your HBO.

I realize no one is being serious right now, but some of you might be and should watch this video. You should also watch it if you're not being serious. It's pretty great.

Why did you link that? I'm now involved in three arguments on Youtube.

Why did you read youtube comments? Nothing good has ever sprung from that.

Im not an intense tinfoiler but I... we all know the governments lie to the people they think they control, from affairs, murder and policies being slipped through.
So to say we cant go back to the moon because of budget is a lie, bacterial life exsits in the frozen continent and the moon has water cycles.
Bacterial cannot be killed at kelvin, all it needs to survive in space is a casing to protect from space rads and it can hibernate.

We have the tech to travel to it, Im positive people are willing to be adventurers and risk life for discovery.
So why dont we go back there! Mars is a suicidal goal until we use non liquid explosive fuels.
If I say it enough it will be adressed

[TheBiggerFish]

...you just claimed that the moon has liquid water and bacterial life.

...Yeah.

Way to read, haha

Are you being serious? If no, then use [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags because it is hard to tell sarcasm on the internet.
If yes, then what proof do you have of bacterial life on the moon? (We already know that there is water, just search lunar water on google) But the water is in no way part of cycles. The pressure on the lunar surface is 0. Which means that water would evaporate into gas and be blown away by solar wind. As for life, life is probably one of the most complicated things in the universe, and moon is certainly not the prime place for life to form. Also, bacteria cannot just "hibernate" indefinitely because the laws of thermodynamics state that the cell would degrade and some elements required for repairs are impossible to find floating around in space.

[That Wolf]

I never claimed bacterial life is on the moon.
Life isnt complex.
Nothing is

So to say we cant go back to the moon because of budget is a lie, bacterial life exsits in the frozen continent and the moon has water cycles.

The context around your statement of bacteria is the moon. It sounded like you thought there was a frozen continent filled with bacteria on the moon.
