You guys do know the Voyageur spacecraft is currently entering interstellar overdrive, right? 34 years to leave the solar system. Shit. We ain't going ANYWHERE.
I love space. It is measured not in miles, but in TIME. When we see stars we are looking into the past, looking at light that originated thousands of years ago at the time of Christ only to reach us now. The idea that a civilization millions of years more advanced than us manipulated the fabric of spacetime to travel here only to sodomize dumb white trash is hilarious. Speaking of space: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos used some of his billions to find the Saturn V rockets from the Apollo missions. Your move Donald Trump. In more nerd news I recorded Stephen Hawking's Grand Design series, but am too exhausted to watch it. I read the book when it came out and, while accessible, it is really heavy stuff.
By some amazing coincidence I was a the aerospace museum on DC when Voyageur 2 hit Neptune's orbit. It was amazing. They found out: A) it was WAY bigger than they thought B) it had 3x the moons that they thought C) rings. LOTS of 'em.
One thing is for sure, Popular Mechanics sure for people's hopes up for nothing. I want my reactionless drive! Now! Or at least the Hoverboard. We're dying here.
Re: Re: SNOWWW DAAAATTTTT (drunk thread) From wiki The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a 722 kg (1,590 lb) space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977 to study the outer Solar System and interstellar medium. Operating for 35 years, 6 months, and 15 days as of 20 March 2013,[2] the spacecraft receives routine commands and transmits data back to the Deep Space Network. At a distance of about 123 AU (1.840×1010 km) as of November 2012,[3][4] it is the farthest man-made object from Earth. It is still unclear if Voyager 1 is the first man-made object to leave the heliosphere and enter interstellar space.[5][6]
Internetters unanimous in deciding that... a) everyone else is a weak little hypochondriac who needs to suck it up and deal without painkillers/antibiotics/a hug b) OH MY GOD I AM SERIOUSLY SICK GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY I NEED SURGERY AND LINEZOLID AND AN MRI AND A PONY, STAT! No, doctor, everyone else is faking it, you need to give me the good drugs you fucking moron! Didn't you know it was me you were dealing with? Give me that fucking scalpel, I'm clearly better at this than you are. I mean, toddamus, not to minimize the seriousness of what happened, or to say that those kind of neurologic symptoms don't warrant something like a CT scan, but not every headache or migraine needs a CT scan (and remember that a CT scan delivers several hundred X-rays worth of radiation and shouldn't be taken lightly). Vision changes, though, yeah, get your ass to an emergency room. Not something to wait on.
I'd have honestly preferred if you didn't post that. I didn't post the entire story to protect intimate details, nor am I saying if you have a migraine go in. Not all migraines are equal, and not all migraines mean a tumor, but in the same breath they can be symptomatic of something more severe. You talk to people in the brain tumor community like I have and you'd be amazed at what these people go through because physicians blow off their symptoms as something ordinary. One girl was given nyquil for her headaches. CT scans are relatively cheap, and granted you don't want to give them to any person who walks in, but someone shouldn't be near death to get one. Had my brother had one a year before he was finally diagnosed he could have been saved from much suffering and pain, but because of the callousness and neglect of the ER physicians who saw him he suffered greatly. Before his diagnosis he was in the ER a year before that with similar but less severe symptoms. They told him to walk it off. He went in three months later with more progressive symptoms and he was ignored and disregarded again. He then accepted their claim that his symptoms were nothing to be worried about when in fact they were, so he suffered as his symptoms became worse and his life began to fall apart. It wasn't until he couldn't walk and had tremor in his right arm did they finally do a simple scan. That night he didn't know who he was, where he was etc. Tell me why my story is meaningless again? Is it so absurd to tell people to be cautious of their health? I have a bit of an antagonistic personality, I was just messing with the person mentioning the migraine, however they shouldn't and can't be overlooked. Neurologic symptoms are incredibly subtle and yes while it may be a simple thing, it may be symptomatic of something more significant.
The good news is I'm calling my dr, so thank you all for the concern/advice. Te bad news is I'm calling him because I've laid down and tried to nap and its still there. FML I absolutely hate feeling this way.
Well, you clearly have two choices according to the thread. Panic, or stop being a pussy. Choose wisely.
Yeah, well, does your currency feature a genocidal madman that also killed a man in a duel during his tenure as president? Do ya?? HMMM??? That's right. Sit the fuck down. JACKSON'D.
