Could you see it with your naked eyes (No 98…..HELL No Koop!!!) or could you only see it in your photos?

:laugh:
This time, yes. When we went outside, our sky had deep reddish or purplish hues over big areas. It's hard to describe, because it's still dark out, and then when you take a picture (which does a 5 sec exposure) it looks all bright. But it was obvious with the naked eye where the general areas were.

For much of the year, I have a collection of denim long-sleeves I wear over my T-shirt when I work. I can leave it open, or button it, and it's easy to let the dogs out, because I don't need to go grab a jacket. Whenever I wear one of them to my barber shop, the woman who cuts my hair refers to the shirt/jeans combo as a Canadian tuxedo. It's funny, in an offensive way.

This is insane.



How did they manage to do this on what I think was the first try. Remember when they were trying to get the rocket boosters to land and like a bunch of them blew up before they figured it out. Also there must be a reason it has to get caught and can't just land on its own.

The comet is another hoax perpetrated by the Big TV Weather consortium.

I looked last night but nothing.
I'll keep checking like a sucker like I do when they say the aurora is "supposed" to be happening.

Recently retired astronaut Chris Cassidy grew up on our street, and he was a Navy SEAL, as well as having a Master's from MIT. Is that not good enough?

Yeah that is definitely good enough. That makes me wonder how many seals are. Also ivy league graduates? And also astronauts. I would imagine it's an incredibly small group.

What? No doctorate????

He could be better.

Yeah right? Pull it together Chris.

Also one of the times he went to space he got there on the soyuz. I don't know. I would just feel dirty knowing that I hitched a ride with a bunch of commies.

Oh my God (pun intended) this video deserves credit.

It totally got me with its bait and switch.

I'm enjoying busting Katy Perry's balls even though I think she's super hot because of her stupid space thing. Same with Oprah's dumb friend who's on Good Morning America or whatever and said shit about how she wasn't a passenger and it's sexist when people say that. Even though she did nothing but sit as a passenger on a tourist flight.

As a result, I'm getting a lot of suggestions about their stupid space tourism shit and this was one of them.

So I clicked on this video to watch more silly bullshit about conspiracy theories related to the flight......

AND THEN 6 MINUTES IN IT BECOMES A FULL-ON CHRISTIANITY PROPAGANDA VIDEO.

Talking all about Jesus dying for our sins and what not. You guys know I started the Christianity thread. I am not opposed to having real discussions about religion.....But this is a fucking joke.

I have to give him credit though. It's a sneaky way of proselytizing that got me.



I see now that the YouTube channel has ministries in its name, so I guess I should have seen this coming. But when you're just mindlessly scrolling through YouTube, do you really stop to read the name of the channel? I don't.

So apparently there was life on Mars at some point:


And we had Aliens pass by us a few years ago and they're doing it again this year. This video goes over both of those:



And let's not forget all the crazy shit Air Force pilots have seen over the past few years.



and today this:



So we have aliens or some country is WAAAAYYYYY better than us at both space and terrestrial military shit but that seems unlikely. We've all see Russia prove themselves pretty unprepared and China is still behind us so............ALIENS!!!!!

I have been following the 3IAtlas too. It currently needs to pass through the Asteriod Belt without getting hit. Otherwise the world should be safe
and it should be able to visit our system for study

And it just so happens when this new freaking comment/ spaceship/ whatever the fuck is closest to Earth, it will somehow be on a side that we can't check it out with telescopes.

Will Smith better get in the gym and start training cuz it looks like we're going to need him to save us IRL. That would completely revive his reputation by the way. Will Smith saves us from aliens? No one's talking about him slapping people at the Oscars or his wife banging his son's friend... that goes out the window.
