Does that mean an new iPhone is coming out with higher resolution?

No iPhones in iSpace!

This just in from Sandia. Nowhere near a fusion powered light bulb, but it is an encouraging result.

I'm not a particle physicist, nor do I play one on TV, but I have to think that changing the radial instabilities with the observed helical instabilities (which are more contained, and easier to control) is significant on more than just one level. There's some good physics to be learned here.

It's been a long time since this thread was active.

I had quite an exciting time following the New Horizons probe through its encounter with the Plutonian system. The initial photos were tantalizing, enough it seems for more than a few conspiracy theorists (one showing potential structures on the dwarf planet). Now, however, comes the long wait for data retrieval, which should be complete sometime next December. After this, who knows? Maybe another encounter with another KBO.

Or Nibiru.

And, on a related note, New Horizons has a second potential target beyond Pluto. Estimated Time of Arrival - January 2019.

The Hubble space telescope comes through in the clutch.

My feeling is that we should be bothering with innerspace more than outer.

Sure send a probe every year, but don't fucking waste my money. Wee need health not space.

Hater.

Feh! I'd rather my tax dollars go into developing new and better apocalypse causing weapons. I'm tired of conventional doomsday weapons that just vaporize people, poison the land, and create generations of flipper babies. I'd gladly divert my life savings into Uncle Sam's hands if it meant we got a warhead that turned people inside out, or a combat gas that causes catatonic schizophrenia.


HIRE ME, YOU UNIMAGINATIVE LOCKHEED PUSSIES!

What floods aren't cool enough for you? Feh!

this year was good for space.... we saw Ceres and Pluto up-close

Don't forget Rosetta! :)
