If we could fast-forward 1,000 years in to the future, what would life be like on planet Earth ?

The US space agency has decided against placing astronauts aboard its new rocket on its first launch. It has been almost 50 years since the last human set foot on the surface of another world and with the discontinuation of the Space Shuttle program back in 2011, manned space exploration has become limited to routine journeys to and from the International Space Station. This could soon be set to change however thanks to NASA's Orion Crew Vehicle and Space Launch System - two projects which when combined have the potential to take humans all the way to Mars. The first integrated test flight of these systems, Exploration Mission 1, had been set to achieve a retrograde lunar orbit in 2018 with a crew of astronauts along for the ride, but now, following a renewed feasibility and risk-assessment study, the decision has been made to scrap the manned portion of the mission with the hope of launching EM-1 in early 2019. The move is probably wise, especially given the number of delays that have occurred so far and the amount of time and funds that would have been needed to implement support for a manned crew. The first manned test flight is instead likely to be the follow-up mission - EM-2.

Another tv show im watching: American Gods is an American television series based on the novel of the same name, written by Neil Gaiman and originally published in 2001. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1898069/

In the homepage there is a big box on the right side that says "TeamSpeak" . Just click on one of the channels and you are in.

New smilies have been added to the forum for everyone to use. More can be added in the future. Use this topic to test them out and search for possible bugged ones.

The aim will be to drill all the way down through the Earth's crust for the first time in history. It's not quite 'Journey to the Center of the Earth', but if Japan's Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) succeeds in its goals it will mean that, for the first time since efforts began more than 50 years ago, humans will have succeeded in reaching the planet's mantle - a silicate rocky shell which sits between the Earth's crust and the outer core. The most recent attempt to reach the mantle, which was carried out by the Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling, ultimately only managed to drill down 700 meters - a mere fraction of the total thickness of the crust which is believed to be around 35 kilometers. The JAMSTEC team will be using the Chikyu drilling ship for their attempt however they are unlikely to start drilling until 2030, instead opting to conduct a series of preliminary studies beforehand.
