I'm under the impression that this was taken from space, and if it was, I would then assume that 'it might be possible to hear someone scream in outerspace'.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. razz

These images make me wish the government would give NASA more funding. They deserve it.

I think that it's neat that the satallite takes pictures in HD. Very cool image of Saturn.

Yeah, me too, but we need to fix our deficit and unemployment first before we can do that again.

The next BIG thing I'm hoping for is the construction of space colonies. I'd move in a heartbeat.

We'd have a whole lot more money if we stopped shoveling so much into the military so we can keep bullying third-world countries. The amount the military consumes is obscene.

If they gave more money to NASA, they might be able to afford to hire more scientists.

As someone once put it, the US is like the game of The Oregon Trail where the 6-year-old player spends all xir money on ammo, then wonders why xir people are sick and starving to death.

Well, it's not military people who are in control of the government. So it's not like they take what they want of the tax money then give us the rest. If you really want to look deep enough into our finacial problem, you'd actually see that W. Bush started all this. Homeland Security? That's what the CIA and NSA are for. Why have a third section be created to do the same job as the 2 previous? Bush created that problem, as well as 'lets give people a second and third tax refund check to stimulate economic growth'. Say what? All that did was increase our debt. Bush shoulda used the 'second and third' checks we got to invest into companies to create jobs. AND, lastly, he purposely increased the price of oil just so his oil companies would make more money.

Sorry. Off subject here. Just don't like people blaming things on military since I'm formerly military.
