Solar System


When I eventually get round to launching my home-made space probe, this map of our solar system will be sellotaped to the side.

i'm still laughing at saturn's moons! it's hardto type when my body's shaking.

i hope you get the probe out there. the aliens could learn a thing or two from Ellis!

You've made my evening. Just about two hours before looking at this I was listening to a Princeton U. Podcast featuring Peter Ward talking about astrobiology and life on other planets. He talk about habitable zones, our solar system, and the rare Earth hypothesis, and then touches on our impact on our Earth, needless to say, it gets pretty heavy, and then I see this... thanks!
