Why I don’t like KDE-Plasma anymore
My Mabox Linux – a work in progress
My New Favorite Linux Distribution – MaBox Linux
The Hubble Telescope’s Ultra Deep Field Looks back in Time.
How would we look if we were living on a different planet of our solar system?
Is there still interest in sending astronauts to the moon, or is most of the effort now focused on a manned mission to Mars?
Which planet has the most surface area and which planet has the most destructive surface?
Is outer space empty? How is that even possible?
What might happen if other beings outside our solar system finds Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 with the media inside them, named The Golden Record?
What do the people of the world want aliens to know?
Do you believe in aliens? Do you think that we can ever get in contact with them?
Flattening the Curve
How Do We Get to Mars?
How often do all of the planets repeat their exact positions? For example, how often would the planets be just as they were on any given date/time, like a birthday or historic event?
How far and how big are the stars from the Earth?
Why aren’t humans drilling into the center of the Earth?
If I went into space with an open bottle and then sealed it, what would be inside the bottle?
If the first radio signals went into space over a hundred years ago and were received by a populated world how long at 10% speed of light would it take to get a visit or attack?
How would life be for us if we were to colonize a super-Earth, assuming the planet is not too far from ours?
Masks do help
SSL certificants aren’t free anymore
How big is the Moon compared to the Sun and Earth?
Why don’t flat Earth believers fly to the underside of the Earth, and take pictures to prove their belief?
Wearing Masks
Is anybody out there?
