Imagine the legalities:

Seriously, Kate Wong, editor and writer for Scientific American, has made the point that they may have been blond haired, blue eyed, and not all that hard to look at...

And some neandertals are so easy, that..well, you know.

Yep. Lemme find my '10.0' card...

Let's see...

If not, they should've been...maybe there is reincarnation.

Eleven billion light-years is well beyond our own galaxy...indeed, it's most of the way across the Universe.

For one thing, comets aren't massive enough to cause 'pole shifts.' (ask Jupiter...we watched it get clobbered, with no change to its axis)

Looks like Buzz fell into a black hole...

Does anyone know what particular 'flavor' of neutrinos these are? Is it a mix? Do we know at all?

Hmm. I started reading Playboy when I was 16. I began feeling old, when the Playmates had birth dates later than mine...

But they live in a universe where weird shit is known to happen. The only capital crime is to go to a world where one of the major such events occurred. (What happens on Talos IV, stays on Talos IV)

Hedy also invented spread-spectrum radio, BTW...

"and we still cant do AUTOMATIC REDEZVOUS and DOCKING? "

"I still wonder at why China was excluded from participation in the ISS."

Even if you're right, there's just nothing in this event that proves it.

"Uh, the Space Shuttle had not only auto-dock capability but auto-landing and remote-controlled landing as well. "

See my response to Graviton166.

"That's not to say that perhaps the National Reconnaissance Office or the United States Air Force might not have done automated dockings themselves, but we won't know about those operations for years/decades to come."
