and still people moan and worry about the costs and risks of that.... theres always some. It'll just take some convincing to sway them that its a good idea (or actually doing it). And the money and risk is worth it. Some people oppose the idea of travelling around through paranoia. What if we meet aliens? Will they be hostile? What if a ship picks up a contagion? etc etc. Ah well. If it happens, it happens.
Still if we can get pictures of something five times bigger than Jupiter at this distance . ..
Imagine a upgraded Hubble or Hubble II.... the implications of photographing and analysing planets and their atmospheres (by measuring the light sprectrum or even photographing it) could be enormous. Imagine one snapping a Earth type.
Though it'd give fire to the people opposing interstellar travel ('why go there and waste a lot of money when we can photograph it safely from here?'). At least we'd be able to handpick targets for future interstellar probes, rather than firing them blindly at a star and possibly getting nothing. I am hugely fascinated by this, and it shows the value of Hubble and why we must keep it, and the design itself.
come on, admit it, Santas an Asgard, who else can hyperdrive their way round the planet with shielding and instantly visit places? and take the mince pies..

cheap plastic surgery!
The thing is, theres a snag with those upcoming telescopes. None of those can do visible light like Hubble.
Its the third Death Star. Too Bad for them we've spotted it.

a presscott.
isn't that kind of him, he called us all commies!
thats another 'poorer' country with faster and much cheaper internet than us Brits. *sobs*

...ESA, please use the right measuring system....
Can I buy a tin hat off you?
this century? its only just started :P
6) with its dual GPU doing 2048x2048 16x full scene anti-aliased hyper interlaced Pr0nologic Processor, yes.
more important: Will it run Doom 3?
so much for the 'Linux is less buggy and more secure' articles the last few days....
Bane if Windows was Open Source maybe. (because of the large number of Windows software). Boom if Windows died or everyone 'defected' to Linux ;)
Simple. Don't be working for Microsoft.
low battery life, limited quantities, priced fairly higher (compared to DS) and now possibly loads of defects?
anyone sniff a Game Gear successor here?
Would be a real shame seeing what the PSP could do.
so whens the 3D pr0n interface coming out?
it will also translate all words into l33t.
lets pray the day doesn't come where its 'Laptops deform your Penis'.
Its Dr Evil re-entering the atmosphere!
We're Dooooooomeed!
eh? the Russians came back super intelligent but ours didnt? waiiiit a minute.... tinfoil hat time
