    You are so close! The conspiracy is that we never stopped going to the moon! There's a base on the far side, there always has been, and the moon colony recently declared it's independence from Earth, that's why we started bombing them!!

    A FREE MOON REVOLUTION!

    STOP THE TYRANNY!

    Mapping with lasers my ass! Ya'll had better stop this satellite from shooting lasers at the surface too, yer just pissin em off! They're gonna startt throwing rocks from up there and you know how that will go.

  • The idiocy of this statement is so profound it beggars belief...

    So... the sun emits daily gamma ray bursts that emits the same amount of radiation in ten seconds as the sun does in it's life time...

    ...but comes from the sun...

    Epic Logic Fail there.

    Why in all that is sacred would I waste my time watching any video you made when you can't keep you story straight in 500 character comments?

    As best we can tell they happen at a rate of about one a day. That's across the entire observable universe. We have not detected such an event in our galaxy. That's just a numbers game. Now... do I have to explain to you the principle of 'very far away'? If I do, this is going to take far more than a 500 character comment to explain. You do not understand basic scale. Very big, very small, very far away.

    Feel free to leave it another year before responding.

    GAMMA RAY BURSTS come from EXPLODING STARS.  A ten second burst from one of them, is equivalent to the same amount of energy released by our sun in its' ENTIRE LIFETIME. Look it up, and quit twisting peoples words around. It makes you look like a twit!

  • Well... sorry for the spam, youtube started some maintenance while I was posting and something got badly screwed.

  • I still remember when LCROSS failed to dazzle.

    I was watching the mission live, I think on BBC (not sure), they made it look and sound like a complete failure and did not communicate the actual results, shame on them.
