Giant Telescopes Of The Future

Posted by timothy on from the letting-in-the-light dept.

mindpixel writes: "Mindjack just published my article about the the future of very large telescopes, such as the VLT and the OWL which I talked about in my /. interview. In addition, I talk about a future space-based telescope that would use the Sun's gravity to 'image large surface features,' of extrasolar planets, which telescpes like the VLT can just detect, 'such as oceans, continents or ice caps, or even the impact of civilization on such features.'"

    Ahhhh! Good point! Well taken.....coward fuck.

    I keep forgeting that all the fucking aspergers dweebs live in their own world where money and people don't mean jack shit. Oooo! Space! Ooo!

    All space is a fucking MATH and NO PEOPLE! A fucking nerds dream!

    Listen to me all you fucking genius nerds, star trek wannabe fucks. You a living a wasted life. Why can't you all see it? Computers, math, stars.....who the fuck cares??!? Your peers? No. Your Mommy? No. Women? Fuck No. So what the fuck people??? Get outside! Live in the world! Go hug someone or get fuckin laid! Or get laid outside! Anything but fucking space. Space will mean something one day, but right now all stars do is look pretty while you get a blow job..... OUT SIDE!

    Again: YOUR WASTING your life...... tick fucking tock boys! So much of the world to see.....too bad it'd filled with ICKY social animals called people. Ewww. I bet one of you fucks makes a holodeck one day. I will kick your ass if you do ya anti social fuckface. And because your a star trek watching bweeb, I will do it and nothing you can do about it.

    Your a fucking sad lot. I don't feel bad but you piss me off for wasting your life.

    What a fucking waste

    SPACE + NERD = A sad wasted life.

    Jebus

    P.S. I dare one of your penguin fucks to tell my why we need to spend money on space.....ohhh fuuuuuck!!
