Sorry Ron, the <doh> & <laugh> just don't cut it mate. You'll have to supply a bit more proof than a couple of emojis. :)

I wish I could Cyc. So out of all that is out there in space just one little planet is inhabited (or has been). Do you know of anyone who can prove that?
 
No Ron, nobody can prove that we are alone, you're quite right there. I can only say that some serious minds seem to believe that as things stand, the chances of meeting an alien race looks pretty dim. Even if they exist, they may live beyond reach. As best we know, we can't travel faster than light, but the far reaches of space are traveling away from us faster than that. Even if moving at the speed of light, we started a trip to their place, by the time we get to where they were, they'd be even further away from us than when we began the voyage.

You've been watching videos haven't you <laugh>. Fascinating aren't they. Well that's it then
 
In the pursuit of pace advancement, NASA launched a test rocket with the intention of aborting the mission after launch. For the purpose of saving future astronauts, they needed to test the separation of a capsule from boosters if something was to go amiss. The first minute of the clip is information, the rest is the test flight.

Ancient alien city 'found on secret dark side of the moon' in NASA images

Warning: this is from the Daily Mirror

I think they should pop over and check it out

Are you kidding Ron, no way should we be going back to that place. We were warned off by aliens in 1969 when Armstrong and Aldrin made that historic landing. The space creatures were far from friendly and told Neil and Buzz that there had been a secret, ongoing, heated debate between the Bloothians and Earth over the Rozwell remains. NASA didn't listen and went back time and again, which angered the space folk no end. They finally cracked it big time after the Apollo 15 landing. The Bloothians, having had a gut full, dragged astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Erwin by the scruff of the neck through an opening on the dark side off what we'd previously though was the moon.

Bloody hell, did we get it wrong or what? It isn't a moon, it's a ****in' great space station. And according to leaked United States Defense Department papers, Dave and Jim were told by the Bloothians that the moon was actually Base Station MMMDCIV and had been manned for just over MCCXIX years. Before mankind began flourish on Earth, BS MMMDCIV stood out in the solar system like huge, hairy, dog's balls. It stood as a stark deterrent to the space ne're-do-wells intent on creating **** in our area. But as the mellennia passed, so too did the presence of intergalactic crime, rending the base almost unneeded. It's now become little more than a lightly guarded travelling outpost for space freighters.

At first, the Bloothians thought diddly squad of Earthlings and treated them with distain, but in time they warmed to the funny little bi-peds. As the eons passed though, and pressures on cosmic laws demanded a change to the greener side, it was ordered by the Cosmic Supreme Council, that all space stations must blend in with the local surroundings. So with great gusto, the feather encrusted, three legged Bloothian Grenadiers started trucking in huge loads of space rubble to dump allover the enormous station until it eventually looked nothing more than a colossal grey blob. Sadly, as with many governmental projects, funding ran out before the job could be completed, and we were left with unwanted craters scattered all over what we now mistakenly call the moon. In actuality, BS MMMDCIV is still very much an every day working platform which is off limits to us puny Earthlings. They just don't trust us. We're looked upon as the neighbourhood dog that persists on ****ting all over on your footpath.

When is your novel being released Cyc?
 
A team led by Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte of of the Salk Institute in the US, working in China (to avoid legal issues) have injected reprogrammed human cells into a monkey embryo. I reason behind the science? Future transplants for humans.

It's all under control, nothing can possibly go wrong. <whistle>

was zooming in on stars with phone last night over in cyprus and caught this, have not got a clue what is going on here.
 
You got me Joe, was it moving when you photographed it? I'm off to bed now. I'll probably lie there for hours wondering what the **** it's all about.

I'll log on first thing tomorrow for the answer, if it's hasn't been explained, I'll be really pissed. <laugh>
 
Cyc i was watching through my phone and i zoomed in on this particular star all of a sudden it appeared to pulsate this is what i caught, has me bamboozled.
My Mrs was on the bevvy and when i showed her the picture she said its a jellyfish my response nearly got her sandle rattled accross the back of my head.
