 Space, what is it? No one really knows for sure but people have been trying to figure it out for awhile now. Originally discovered thousands of years ago by some dude who had the genius idea of looking up, space has inspired and confounded humanity for just about as long as we’ve existed.  Holes in the roof? Home of the gods? It’s only recently that we’ve had the slightest clue as to what’s going on up there. Turns out it’s less of a divine clockwork doling out providence and perdition; more of a vast uncaring void full of indifferent wonders that happen on a scale we can barely comprehend.  Space is neat. Our understanding of space has been a fascinating journey. This is a thread for chatting about both of those things. Got a question about space? Post it! Space news? Post it! Wanna chat about historical discoveries or bleeding edge theories? Go for it! Feel like getting into the nitty gritty of what the ancient babylonians thought about space?   Space is big. Space is weird. People’s perceptions and ideas about it are fascinating. Post your favorite nebula or whatever. It’s all good, just post about space. Don’t post about techbros, politics, video games, or movies. That’s Earth stuff.  Whatcha got, GBS? Let’s get spacey.

I hear that inky black above us is just another earth, but it's always space and everyone's evil. Not sure we should be perving on all these evil earth night people with gaint telescopes, and were certainly shouldn't be sending people up there to perv on them in person. We don't want to be as bad as they are.

From the weird headlines thread:Platystemon posted:'I don't believe in space:' Texas Tech DB Tyler Owens makes bold statement at NFL combine So I dunno, with space not existing do we just like close this thread and up date all the text books and what not?

Space has a smell. It's been compared to hot metal, burnt meat, burnt cakes, spent gunpowder, and welding metal
