Space Experts Discuss the Search for Life in the Universe at NASA

Ғылым және технология

NASA space-based observatories are making unprecedented new discoveries and revealing worlds never before seen. During a televised panel discussion of leading science and engineering experts at NASA Headquarters on Monday, July 14, a scientific and technological roadmap to lead to the discovery of potentially habitable worlds among the stars was addressed. The agency's next step, the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb telescope), was featured as a new tool that will continue to help scientists rewrite scientific textbooks long after its scheduled launch in 2018.

    Consider that the Wright brothers first flight and the moon landing were only 66 years apart. We are such a young species, and we are developing so rapidly. It is beautiful. The future, even just the next 20 years, will be filled with discoveries and advances that are currently unimaginable. I can hardly wait to see what this world looks like by then..... providing we don't mess it all up too much first. Look forward people, the future is coming fast.

    People think this stuff is sooo sloww (even while complaining that life moves so fast). It's funny, but you're right - the past few to several decades have been HUGE. My only personal hope about this is that, as a current 24-year old now, that life extension technologies and treatments advance a lot in this century. I want to see the future of, say, 2100+. I'm not afraid of it. I know it won't be perfect, and even things up to international disasters and world wars are possible, but I have faith in human advancement, and I hope to see as much of it as possible. At least as long as this current rate continues or even accelerates.

    Life extension is happening. The mayo clinic recently cured cancer, and that's huge, but scientists have also discovered how to restore frayed DNA to literally reverse and stop aging (cures alzheimer's too incidentally). the problem is that the cure for aging may cause cancer. Oh wait, the mayo clinic cured cancer? Neat. Genetic immortality is achievable! (course, you could still get hit by a bus) www.gizmag.com/telomerase-aging-harvard-reverse-process-telomeres/17107/

    It wouldn't be any more beneficial than the Hubble Space Telescope. The reason it is in orbit around Earth is to by-pass light pollution and the atmosphere as a whole. And no, there isn't any possible way to build a telescope on the moon with what resources are in its surface. Its mostly rock and dust, likely nothing else. Transforming materials is much too expensive and hardly in our reach - the molecular composition of the transformed materials usually break apart not long after its creation.

    This is very fascinating and exciting! My suggestion would be (which I'm sure these very intelligent scientists have thought about as well), once they find an earth like planet with water, rocks and atmosphere, in order to immediately detect "intelligent Life" on that planet, they should look for satellites, space shuttles, space stations, airplanes and 'any" means of modern technology OUTSIDE of its atmosphere. since life is created by the same building blocks (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and Nitrogen) everywhere in the universe, I don't see why other life forms wouldn't have developed in the same fashion as us. Specially since the age of most stars and planets in the Milky Way are the same as ours. I'm very very excited about these developments.

    Escape velocity approx 20,000 mph. To travel to nearest star, the sun, approx 8 mins at speed of light would take approx 6 months at 20k mph. The next nearest star out of billions in our galaxy alone, which itself is one of many billions of galaxies is alpha Centaurus proximus just over 4 light years away. This would take approx 150,000 years to reach at 20,000 mph. 15,000 years at 200,000 mph, 1,500 years at 2,000,000 mph, etc. Clearly there has to be a different form of propulsion than rocket propulsion, since in space action and reaction equal and opposite, means rockets pushing against nothing will not be able to increase speed of craft.

    The answer to the Fermi Paradeox. There is a beautiful loving Universe many people claim they experience when they are undergoing an NDE. Long before any Advanced Civilization gains the technology necessary for Interstellar Travel - they find a way to escape to that Universe. In other words, it is technologically easier to escape to that other very pleasant and safer place, than it is to develop the Type II Civilization Technology necessary for Interstellar Travel. This explains why we have found no sign of an Advanced Alien Civilization anywhere in our Universe.

  • @TasmanianSa

    @TasmanianSa

    9 жыл бұрын

    Planets generally aren't perfectly round -- they're just mostly round. The Earth, for example -- it's got mountains and valleys and such, and the Equator bulges out further than the poles. It's gravity that makes it mostly round (the sphere is the shape that has the least potential energy), and it's the rotation of the Earth that causes it to bulge at the equator due to centrifugal force. The Earth's crust is hard now, but when the Earth was forming it was hotter and softer and could flow into whatever shape gravity demanded of it (and the center of the planet is still molten.) Other planets or moons may not still have a molten interior (especially if they're smaller) but when they were forming they were molten and could flow. Also, gravity is a very strong force, and given millions of years, it can bend even very solid things. And yes, all planets of any size are mostly round. (If they aren't big enough to become mostly round during their formation, they aren't big enough to be classified as planets.) Asteroids are an example of that -- they can have any shape.
