At least you got the stars to entertain you on your journey.

Do you have any idea how ungodly fast you'd have to be traveling to get the stars to look like that?
Soon to be a major motion picture!

Even those stars are extremely far away.

Yeah, you know. . . that big yellow thing called the sun.

And yes, it is cold in space.  It's called absolute zero, which is approximately 300* F colder than freezing point of water I think.

I think absolute zero is about -269 C, I THINK. I'll ask my chem teacher today.



But as I learned, the faster you go in space, the more power is needed to go faster. If it's a very small ship, it's easier to make it go uber fast. That's why I like the Pyro-GX so much, because it's positively tichy, and has big freaking engines. With the proper kind of engine [I propose Hyperthrust, ala Master of Orion] it wouldn't be hard to make a small ship like that to go really fast. Something like the Discovery in 2001: A Space Oddessy would have to have a lot of freaking power to make any sort of speed increase.

But even if we reach the infestimal speed of light, it would STILL take 4 years to get to Alpha Centauri.

Then Warp drives come into play..... Me and Kaiser had a big discussion on these once. The way some have been displayed to working is that it bends space, so that the two points you're travelling to are moved closer together, but how can that be done? Bending something THAT big and huge would take, like, the Power Cosmic.

But I'm sure Lazlo has all kinds of theories on Warp Drives, being as knowledgeable in Star Trek as he is.

HELL NO!!!  I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER going into space.  Outer space frightens me ever so much.

Oh, and space is not at absolute zero.  If it was, space travel would be impossible, because all matter would freeze.  Outspace is roughly at -20 degrees C.  Space is not a true vacuum.

megakevinexe, the universe in infinite, just like your stupidity.

Air and oxygen are 2 diffrent things, and temperature dosen't need weather to exsist, all it needs is a heat conductor and our sun is a pretty big heat conductor.

Get your facts straight before you say bullshit about space.

P.S. : Stars are for emos and hopeless romantics.

Alpha Centauri?

 Sounds like something I ate at the Olive Garden.

Ah, shut up, Yamino! :roll:

Besides, I DID heard something about the end of the universe. I don't know, really. Stuff like that has never been proven. :|

Some people once told me that there was probably a 10th planet after Pluto. :| I don't believe them but... what the heck, man--no one's never traveled that far away, I think. :|

Pluto isn't really a planet, it's one of those huge ice things at the back of this solar system...

Dude, it has a gravitational pull, and it orbits the sun.  I don't care about the debate, I say that Pluto, as well as the "moon" whose name escapes me at the moment are in fact Binary Planets.  No's. 9 and 10 respectfully.
