    Mind boggling. I wonder what they will find next, let alone what they might find in the next 100 years

    Just watching a very interesting program "Ancient Aliens". Some very believable evidence of the existence of ancient aliens on Earth. Too many coincidences to be coincidences. Fascinating. It also touched on DNA as a storage medium and what could have been encoded on our DNA. I'm sure something will soon uncover the mysteries of how we came about on Earth. I think when they find out more about what can be stored within DNA and how we can interact with it via some programmatic means, it could be very revealing, and frightening

    To be honest Ron i could put up 50 pages probably. The MSM in the US and here have even been putting out radar footage from navy fighter jets the last few days of ufos.

    It seems unlikely that the UFOs are Alien. There's a large step between conspiracy theory and verifiable proof.

    According to the International Journal of Epidemiology, sleeping less than 7 hours or more than 9 hours per night can affect the memory. I was going to say something about it, but ****ed if I can remember what.

    Two potentially life-friendly planets found orbiting a nearby star.

    A tiny, old star just 12 light-years away might host two temperate, rocky planets, astronomers announced Tuesday. If they’re confirmed, both of the newly spotted worlds are nearly identical to Earth in mass, and both planets are in orbits that could allow liquid water to trickle and puddle on their surfaces.

    Today in the wee hours, Elon Musk's SpaceX will again launch it's massive Falcon Heavy. For the first time it will be carrying a national security payload of 24 satellites for the US Air Force. I think live streaming will start about 3:00 am GMT.

    Falcon Heavy is one hell of a beast.
