NASA about to announce something Big?

Man - how come when they talk to crews in space the chatter is so friggin' inane...

Stupid NASA - you will soon be replaced!!!

So, supernovas are still amazing.

So we all waited for dust located 26 thousand light years away!

Damn it.

I get it, you're all dissappointed and I can say I understand your frustrations, but please watch the use of one liners in this thread.

ABOUT ATS: Warnings for one-line or short responses

thank you.

At what point can I start laughingn at the people who thought this was going to be an announcement of aliens or disclosure of UFOs? Disappointment is what you're going to get if you think that it's a prologue to disclosure anytime someone at NASA wipes their nose.

Tomorrow, they are giving a press-conference about the progress of the Constellation program. Maybe they'll reveal it uses technologies back engineered from Roswell!!!1111

What makes this supernova of particular interest apparently is that it appears to be the most recent one ever to occur in our galaxy.

Here's the press release: chandra.harvard.edu...

The most recent supernova in our Galaxy has been discovered by tracking the rapid expansion of its remains. This result, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and NRAO's Very Large Array (VLA), has implications for understanding how often supernovas explode in the Milky Way galaxy.

The supernova explosion occurred about 140 years ago, making it the most recent supernova in the Milky Way as measured in Earth's time frame.

140 years ago is extremely recent, relatively speaking. I won't pretend to understand the implications, but I can see how it could be important to science.

I'm giggling my tits off right now.

Just entered this thread 10 minutes ago. I could feel everyone's excitement from their posts but the climax for me has been reading all the statements of disappointment now being posted. This has been fun.

Sleep well those of you who've been up all night waiting for NASA's announcement. No one can say NASA has no sense of humor, lol.

Still laughing.

After this one, NASA deserves her own South Park episode.

I can even think of the plot: Eric Cartman goes to space and finds UNVALUABLE CRAP!

LOL !
