Simple question. I didn't include Earth because then either everyone would pick it or somebody wouldn't pick it and that would piss me off. Neptune has always been my favorite. As a kid I loved it because I found it aesthetically pleasing, and I thought the great dark spot was really cool (though I never thought as much of Jupiter's great red spot). As an adult, my interest was renewed due to its theoretical method of discovery. It's an awesome planet. Plus Triton is a badass moon with its retrograde orbit. It's really the only substantial traditional moon in the solar system that has that kind of orbit. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall.

Mars because we will find a form of life there one day. Second vote would go to Neptune because of its harsh beauty. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

Wow!!!!!
Pat and I gree on something (however meaningless it might be)... and for the same reasons, too
 BTW, Uranus and Jupiter also have rings around their colours, but the inclination makes it it doesn't reflect the sunlight
second fave is Mars, because in 200 years, man will have colonized it by creating oceans and atmosphere.

You didn't include Pluto. I am remarkably upset by this. Mars first. Bitches don't know about my potential terraforming in 200 years. Saturn second. If could float on water if we had a large enough body of it. How doesn't that blow your mind. Neptune third. Nice color, all blue and sh*t.

Everyone knows it's pronounced "your-on-us" anyway. Besides, Uranus didn't choose it's name. We should discuss it. The scientist who was being a douche to his friend while drunk, and when asked the question, "what should we call that planet?", responded; "Your ass!".

if i haddent had Phonetics last semester i would not be able to understand what would effect such a pronounsiation, i think it is effected by a vowel reductuin the /e/ is removed from the speeking form, it is a type of Elision which is a linguistical term for when a vowel is reduced Elision is the omission of one or more sounds (such as a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel" rel="nofollow - vowel , a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant" rel="nofollow - consonant , or a whole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable" rel="nofollow - syllable ) in a word or phrase, producing a result that is easier for the speaker to pronounce.

I thought it was different to what you say.... Pluto "crosses" Neptune's path (on two different occasion per revolution), but get's physically closer to Uranus, because their revolution-cycles are closer (for the moment).... Neptune is generally on the other side of the system by then....

Something I meant to bring up earlier in the thread, but I forgot to. I know we're not really talking about Earth in this thread, but I remember how the US was pushing to send man to Mars by 2020 or something like that. Yet, besides the fact that it will be rather difficult to keep a person(s) alive for that long of time; we haven't even fully explored our own planet. We don't even know how much of nature really works in the grand scheme of things, and we're looking to send people to Mars?

Mars is a realistic and achievable goal (but not for 2020, though!), but the Jupiter thing is pure fantasy.... and not just because of the distance.
But sending a man to Mars ... to do what??
Bring him back after 10 days?? Let's face it, that planet (Mars) is our only way of expansion into the solar system... But this will mean creating an atmosphere and oceans, so you can imagine the daunting tasks of creating the nuclear fusion reactors (to create the O2, N2, H2 gas molecules), setting it up on the planet and creating enough matter to achieve that.
Once .Mars will have an Aamosphere and oceans, we can hope that the planet might just come to 0.85 (at best) of earth's gravity.... whicjh will probably alter our bodies.
Sooo I wouldn'tb plan a real expansion on Mars before 2200 AD, at best. If we haven't died under our own industrial flatulances before that!!! .....
And there will be no visiting your family back home over a w-e .... Once you'll be there, you'll stay there.

Edit: Oh wow!!!!
Had no idea!! The Mars trilogyMain article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_trilogy" rel="nofollow - Mars trilogy
This trilogy is Robinson's best-known work. It is an extended work of science fiction that deals with the first settlement of the planet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars" rel="nofollow - Mars by a group of scientists and engineers. Its three volumes are Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars, the titles of which mark the changes that the planet undergoes over the course of the saga. The tale begins with the first colonists leaving Earth for Mars in 2027 and covers the next 200 years of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_history" rel="nofollow - future history . By the conclusion of the story, Mars is heavily populated and terraformed, with a flourishing and complex political and social dimension. Many threads of different characters' lives are woven together in the Mars Trilogy. Science, sociology, and politics are all covered in great detail, evolving over the course of the narrative. Robinson's fascination with science and technology is clear, although he balances this with a strong streak of humanity. Robinson's personal interests, including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability" rel="nofollow - ecological sustainability , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism" rel="nofollow - sexual dimorphism , and the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method" rel="nofollow - scientific method , come through strongly. This is really amazingly close to what I thought should happen.... Not that it's THAT amazing, because that's prtetty well the only way it can happen, realistically!!

Yes. Like I am of the opinion that some people place no value on lives besides their own. I also am of the opinion that Bell's theorem is probably true and not just a byproduct of an incomplete understanding of quantum phenomena. Both things are highly uncomfortable and foreign to me. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Well...yeah Though really, now there's dwarf planets, minor planets, all these "moons" I yearn for the simple days again. Not that it matters since Pluto wasn't really that cool |

I heard some rumoursa and speculation in the space section in the newpaper, that the asntronomers have a though that hteir might be a gigantic brown thingy, planet, outside of the outer borders of the solarsystem that are larger then Jupiter though less massive, but they havent really any solid evidence other then wild speculation. but idunno really, it is also a threory that it might be a brown dwarf but i am not sure..... -------------

There's some pretty solid evidence for it. They call it the Nemesis. It's not definitive though. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Well it wasn't! Even Uranus was better and that's the blandest of them all. |
