On our forums, where should posts about current space exploration and space science go? * SF Discussion * SF Media * Ultramodern * TMP Plus: Science * other? |

Ultramodern or TMP Plus:Science. I would rather see the Science board migrate to the main TMP page. |

Another vote for science! |

On the Frontier Boards. Because it's de Final One. |
skippy0001 | 02 Dec 2014 2:37 p.m. PST |
Science and modern what if. |

Science but it has to migrate to the SF Forum. Amicalement Armand

Well, science. Where else? |
tkdguy | 02 Dec 2014 4:54 p.m. PST |
Science, but I can see it on the modern or SF boards as well. |

How about creating a Current Space Topic board. |
ochoin | 02 Dec 2014 5:29 p.m. PST |
Based on 'Firefly', I'd say 'Colonial'. |
Weasel | 02 Dec 2014 6:22 p.m. PST |
Science if its for real, SF if its speculative, ultra-modern if its about why we should be afraid of china. |

Right next to the Dark Ages board…(hint, hint) |
skippy0001 | 02 Dec 2014 8:21 p.m. PST |
It should be called the 'Chronosynclasticindifibulum' board, that way it covers all aspects of meaning and definition. Or 'HubbleHawking' would be good. |

Before this thead, I for sure post this thread at SF Media. Watch: First Test Flight for NASA Spacecraft That May Take Us to Mars "The first test flight of NASA's Orion spacecraft, which is designed to carry humans deeper into space than ever before—and eventually to Mars—is set for launch tomorrow morning from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The launch window, which will last for 2 hours and 39 minutes, begins at 4:05 a.m. PST/7:05 a.m. EST. Meteorologists forecast a 70 percent chance of favorable weather. You can watch live coverage beginning at 1:30 a.m. PST/4:30 a.m. EST on NASA TV…" Main page link Now what? (smile) Amicalement Armand |
tkdguy | 04 Dec 2014 12:53 a.m. PST |
I'm usually up at 4 am anyway, so I plan to watch the launch. |
OSchmidt | 04 Dec 2014 9:21 a.m. PST |
Wherever there's time enough to fit it. |
Old Contemptibles | 04 Dec 2014 6:11 p.m. PST |
You know, its the final frontier. |

Is That an Asteroid or a Comet? It's Getting Harder to Tell "Traditionally, comets and asteroids belong to two distinct categories. In one corner, you have icy comets with long, wispy tails of gas and dust. In the other, you have dim, rocky asteroids in orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Recent findings, however, are now revealing the distinction to be rather murky. For example, astronomers have discovered asteroids that look like comets—and vice versa. "We have indeed been witnessing discovery after discovery blurring the line between asteroids and comets," said planetary scientist Henry Hsieh of Academia Sinica in Taiwan. Comets are usually thought of as chunks of ice and dust, often described as dirty snowballs. They contain volatile chemicals like carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane, and were formed far from the sun where it's cold enough for these compounds to survive. Comets are in long, looping orbits, spending most of their time beyond Neptune and approaching the sun only once every few decades or even millennia. As they get closer to the sun's warmth, their ices sublimate and turn into gasses, that along with dust that is blown off, form a hazy envelope called a coma. Solar wind and radiation shapes the coma into a comet's signature tail…" Full article here link Amicalement Armand |

I would say it depends on the nature of the discussion. If it is a "hey, check out this nifty link to an article on yesterdays space probe launch" then it is Science. On the other hand if it were about a hypothetical conflict in 1989 than it should go on the Cold War board, and if it were about a hypothetical conflict in the present it would go on the ultra-modern board. |
