Finally! Pluto here we come

[loccilucas]

We are finally gonna reach Pluto, Don't know about you, but I'm completely nerding out over this.

We are not far from space age.I still want to live long enough so we can reach out there 

[LancerBG]

Doesn't ring a bell and I am surprised at that. i have always found things of this nature very interesting. Oh shit, I was in Iraq 9 years ago...figures.

I was hoping Pluto was a planet again although, chances are slim to none anyways

Yeah, I got my hopes up when I saw loads on 9gag posts about it becoming a planet again.

Its 9 years already?

I think we might live long enough to see the space age. If we don't our kids definitely will, its definitely an exciting time to be alive.

If we will see the space age we will see eternity i am sure.By then technology will evolve enough to allow us to live a little longer.Sci-fi enough but i wish i could see and reach the deep of the space

What kids!

By that, I meant the next generation. (people being born around now)

well, keep your fingers crossed. The day we reach the deep depths of space is the day I can die in complete happiness. (literally can't think of anything I wanna see more than that)

The only reason why i believe this is because look at how fast things are moving 10 years and now we have computers in our pockets we already discovered synthetic tissue and nano tissue and more and more people try to reproduce human organs or replace them.Is close 

They are testing laser weapons and rail guns....things we would consider impossible 10 years ago

its just such a shame so many people dislike the idea of tax money being spent on space exploration. I'd happily pay higher tax to see more news like this.

I really hope for a new space race to begin again eclipsing anything we saw in the cold war era. I love old space footage.

 

food for thought the entirety of the star trek series only took part in half of our galaxy

 

[Humbug]

to go beyond pluto we really need to solve the propulsion issue. Our rockets with chemical propulsion just aren't strong enough.

YES! Please tell me they have cameras on New Horizon so we can finally get some good pictures of Pluto?!
