The Large Hadron Collider, or simply called “Hell,” is set to begin firing its beam tests within this week. Alright, it’s probably silly to think it is actually going to make a planet-destroying black hole, into which Earth would go and fuck itself. But if it would, imagine the drama and those naughty doomsday prophets [...]

Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell returned from his mission to the moon a changed man. He has spent the last 35 years trying to use the tools of science to figure out what happened. Along the way, he says that people knowledgeable about an alleged crash of an alien spaceship in Roswell, N.M., shared the information [...]

You don’t normally see magnetic fields, but the whiz kidz at NASA have found a way to make them appear. The video above is part of Magnetic Movie, which was filmed at NASA Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkley.

We basically have found what appears to be the requirements, the nutrients, to support life, whether past, present or future… It is the type of soil you would probably have in your back yard - you know, alkaline. You might be able to grow asparagus in it really well.

From hope:
…the Phoenix Lander Phoenix Lander which arrived on Mars two weeks ago has attempted to place a scoop of soil in Phoenix’s Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA). Pictured above, the dirt-filled scoop approaches one of TEGA’s eight ovens. Once in the oven, a soil material will be baked and the emitted gasses categorized by [...]

It’s about 30 days before the Large Hadron Collider “hopefully” unwittingly creates a black hole that would destroy Earth.
So where do you want to go today?

An asteroid named 2000SG344 (which threatened the Earth in the year 2000) is being considered as the destination for the first manned asteroid mission. The asteroid astronauts will travel there, chasing the 28,000 mi/hr (45,000 km/hr) speeding body and then carry out experiments, living on it for up to two weeks. Why? To briefly establish [...]

Scientists at the Cardiff Centre for Astrobiology built a computer model of our solar system’s movement and found that the solar system periodically passes through the densest part of the galaxy. And by densest, we mean comets colliding with Earth.
Incidentally, the last time the solar system (and the Earth) went through this “densest part of [...]

But Walter Wagner and Luis Sancho contend that scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, have played down the chances that the collider could produce, among other horrors, a tiny black hole, which, they say, could eat the Earth. Or it could spit out something called a “strangelet” that would convert our [...]

More than 50 years of launching satellites and other shit into space that our planet is now being orbited by thousands of manmade debris. More numbers: there are about 6,000 satellites up there, of which only 800 remain operational.
And we even haven’t yet mentioned the very bad things.
