The Universe

So other than discovering that there is mountains on Pluto made of ice and the planet being much duller looking than previously thought, what have we actually learned? I've not really kept up to date with this so only seen the pictures recently and they're very cool, is there anything else I've missed out on or does that sum it up?

Whatever way you look at it mankind has managed to image every 'planet' in the solar system within decades.

That's no easy undertaking I can't imagine how to begin figuring out how to send a piece of metal from Earth and make sure it's in a certain place in ten years time.

Not bad.

We've learned it quicker to send a probe 3 billions miles than it is for Edinburgh to get its tram system up and running

It's the reverse of porn, they always show the popular money shots first. It will take 18 months to download the whole movie.

This just reminds me of the bit from Madagascar where the Penguins have finally managed to make the long awaited great escape from their American zoo:

Considering it is 7.5 billion km away WHO THE F*** left the lights on so we could get pictures.

Good point, and the camera was zipping by at 30,000 mph. Must be dark as fcuk and I doubt they have the technology to swivel the camera so smoothly that the picture isn't all blurry in a long exposure. Another NASA fake filmed in a warehouse like the moon landings.

Here's a question! They say it all started with the BIG BANG all those Galaxies mmmmm don't you think we are being just a weee bit presumtuous.

If half a million weegies can get to Seville on mopeds anything's possible.

Because it was zipping by at a distance, Pluto appears moreorless stationary. Same way you can take photos of the moon from earth, or photos of a distant scene when moving in a car.

The first moon landing was definitely faked, though.
