Yet another testament to the unassailable intellectual/mental supremacy of the caucasian race(s) - and to a slightly lesser degree, the Asians. The rest of the world (especially blacks) can only look on in total and permanent vacuity.

And what did humanity benefit from the Apollo moon landing of 1969

Just waste of resources!! undecided undecided

Your priorities are right.

What I was trying to say in essence is that we Africans can embrace Science and Reason to challenge these people just like the Chinese, Iranians, Russians and North Koreans are doing, etc.

This could be a weapon test program in disguise. Who knows. Lol

The other world powers are watching closely.

Nightshift: Mars might have huge deposits of mineral resources that could benefit mankind someday !

We may be able to colonize Mars as well. All we need to is terraform the red planet.

Don't come here and start displaying your ignorance.

If you look very closely, people from different parts of the world work for NASA. A lot of Asians. Blacks, Jews and very small number of Caucasians.

The present NASA Administrator is a Black man.

Africa Microsoft Chairman( A Malian or Senegalese) is a Geophysicist and work for NASA .

And many more.

You are suffering from self hatred and it is a very bad disease.

Sometimes I wonder about Nigerians. This is the same country where Polio still manifests itself, even though it has been eradicated throughout most of the world.

The same country whose brightest citizens are forced to leave Nigeria and move to the West where they would be appreciated for their efforts.

I THINK HUMANS ARE CURSED.
Landing on mars means what? Or to brought one deadly disease #smh


NAS=what kind of spell is mankind under?
Everything on the planet we preserve and can it
Microwaved it and try it
No matter what we'll survive it
What's hu? what's man? what's human?
Anything along the land we consuming
Eatin', deletin', ruin
Trying to get paper
Gotta have land, gotta have acres
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
Watch niggas play the game like the lakers
In a world full of 52 fakers
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
You superstitious? throw salt over your shoulders
Make a wish for the day cuz
Like somebody got a doll of me
Stickin' needles in my arteries
But I can't feel it
Sometimes it's like 'pardon me, but I got a real big spirit'
I'm fearless.... I'm fearless
Don't you try and grab hold of my soul
It's like a military soldier since seven years old
I held real dead bodies in my arms
Felt their body turn cold, oh
Why we born in the first place
If this is how we gotta go?
Damn.

It is perfectly legal to indulge in self-delusion if that makes you feel good about yourself - as long as you recognise such self-delusion for what it is. Your continent is a hot mess, and so is every self-governing assemblage of blacks around the world. . .they are all lumbering foolishly and groping in the dark with utmost cluelessness. Of course, it is easy for the self-deluding lesser animals that are plentiful within the black race to deny this problem rather than acknowledge it as a necessary first step to finding solutions - and there lies the real tragedy.

There are plenty of black scientist who have contributed to the world. Mostly are were African Americans, but that shouldn't take anything away from them.

If you know this man, then I will be impressed.

I doubt you brainwashed pr.icksl know how Science works. Heck! You don't even know what the philosophy of science is all about.

What are they doing to cure Cancer, Obesity, Mental Diseases that leads to senseless deaths and shootings, Soil degradation, Droughts in Midwest aka the bread basket of America. Bush fire, increased Heatwaves, encroaching Earthquakes that is also caused by drilling oil. Pollution of Mother Earth.

Let no Goddam "Evolutionaries" tell me about the Origin of Mankind.

If man came from Monkeys, why are Monkeys changing no more ? ---- Bob Marley.

You cannot turn the hands of time ---- Bob Marley.

Science has limit and that limit should be focused on increasing the immediate welfare of Humanity.

The industrial revolution or perhaps "western civilization" has destroyed this planet Earth that they are looking for an escape route.

Other Greater civilizations before them respected Mother Nature.

But as Bob Marley said "You can't run away from yourself".

Read Civilization and its Discontent by Sigmund Frued and other books and stop licking as.ses and swallowing everything that is fed to you.

Science should know it uttermost priorities.

Curiosity's Surroundings
This is one of the first images taken by NASA's Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars on the morning of Aug. 6, 2012. It was taken through a fisheye wide-angle lens on the left "eye" of a stereo pair of Hazard-Avoidance cameras on the left-rear side of the rover. The image is one-half of full resolution. The clear dust cover that protected the camera during landing has been sprung open. Part of the spring that released the dust cover can be seen at the bottom right, near the rover's wheel.

On the top left, part of the rover's power supply is visible.

Some dust appears on the lens even with the dust cover off.

The cameras are looking directly into the sun, so the top of the image is saturated. Looking straight into the sun does not harm the cameras. The lines across the top are an artifact called "blooming" that occurs in the camera's detector because of the saturation.

As planned, the rover's early engineering images are lower resolution. Larger color images from other cameras are expected later in the week when the rover's mast, carrying high-resolution cameras, is deployed.
