It has iconic images like this:



Some people think they've seen heavenly images in nebulae.



Looks kind of like an angel...maybe a little? Whatever. I've seen clouds that resemble tits more than that thing resembles an angel. People can worship the supernatural all they want. Meanwhile, the cool people will be launching stuff into space.



That's hella fuckin' balls to the wall awesome.



Some people think that this is fake but they're retarded.

People have also sent dogs into space



And monkeys



The Russians launched a pig out of a cannon which maybe had something to do with their space program?



In any case, he did the motherland proud.

Lots of people think that we should start thinking about setting up a system of property rights in space, to spurn commercial spaceflight. I tend to agree.

ITT talk about space and how rad it is.

Space... it seems to go on forever. Until you get to the end a monkey starts throwing barrels at you.

My favorite space picture:

pale_blue_dot.jpg

Of it, Carl Sagan wrote:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

This is one of my favorites .



For those not familiar with it, it's the Phoenix lander parachuting through the atmosphere of Mars, as taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, hundreds of miles above the Martian surface.

There needs to be cool man made things in the sky.

Like a giant penis in between Saturn and Jupiter.

Anyway, I think Earth is pretty cool, since nothing like it has ever been seen by anyone else yet. Plenty of nifty constellations etc, but nothing that sustains like like Earth.

Earth probably is the coolest-looking planet.

New Horizons is a pretty cool thing.

It's going to be the first spacecraft to visit Pluto and Charon.

Currently, the best images of Pluto we have look like this:

To be fair, Mars is also pretty nice-looking.

Also, this is pretty cool looking



Imagine if people some day could actually travel far enough to get that view for themselves?

I assume you think Earth is the best looking planet? Would Saturn be second?
