Asteroid Lutetia to give clues to Solar System history
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
A European spacecraft has beamed back to Earth images of Asteroid Lutetia. The huge rock is the biggest asteroid yet to be visited by a satellite. More than a hundred kilometers long, it's located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists say the 400 images could help them classify the asteroid, and provide clues on the history of the solar system.

@CurtHowland hmm, makes sense.

@GravDiga The function called "money" is separate from government. All government can do is interfere with it. . There will always be a medium of exchange, "money", be it shells, obsidian, gold, shares of Microsoft, Anarcho-Jessie Work Hours, etc, because there will always be scarce resources that must be allocated. . The most efficient way to allocate scarce resources is competition.

Not here in the UK. the sun, biggest lie, propergander, scare-mongering crap ever printed in the world sells over 4 mill. a day. Couple of similar not far behind. Main bbc/itv news gets big figures and the figures for "others" RT, Al Jazeera etc are almost non existant. Did the figure of 80% come from main stream media?
-
@terryjosie actually only 80% of people supposedly get their news from major media networks.

@GravDiga The laws are made by the rich and powerful, to protect the rich and powerful. They are not supposed to be applied to the rich and powerful. The media is controled by the rich and powerful to brainwash us into believing this is all for our greater good. 99% of people belive the media. So well controled, if you do not print or broardcast what is requirequired, you print or broardcast nothing.

@terryjosie yeah, its like modern day slavery if you misbehave ..and go against these fake laws even for a second they can throw you in jail.. and maybe even prison.. but any rich person gets out of jail in a couple days or.. with 66% of their prison sentence cut.
-
@GravDiga exactly, if you or I get caught with cocane, ormost other crimes, we go to jail, if you are rich or rich and famous you go to rehab!!
-
@terryjosie no waaaaaaaaaaay dude the law doesn't let people go...unless they are rich..

@GravDiga I saw it on an interview with Michal Morer. They didn't make a trillion they laundered a trillion. The reason given for no prosicution was that the country could not allow banks this size to fail and public trust in the finantial system had to be protected.

The Bugs are throwing meteors at us. We've got to go kick their arse.

@InMooseWeTrust Im not taking sides, but why would they have to travel far ?? :D :D
-
@patriotundergod UFO's are bullshit. If aliens really existed, what makes you think that even amateur astronomers haven't been able to find definitive proof? Also, let's not forget how far you have to travel to get to Earth.

@epi42O You had it right the first time.
-
How the hell can pictures of an asteroid provide clues to the history of the solar system? If they're not just spouting shit out their asses, these scientists are brilliant!
-
@GravDiga "you agreed SURE that it COULD be" . It's called sarcasm and argumentum ad absurdum. . Forgive me for not being more clear, I will try to fix it: . So long as there are scarce resources, there will be money. Period. Everything else is fantasy.
-
@CurtHowland i said"in a 100 years we could be living without the need to purchase anything." . YOU SAID Sure. Could be we perfect genetic manipulation and all live like gods. "Could be"! you agreed SURE that it COULD be... so stop trolling its boring and a waste of time.
-
@GravDiga "you agree we don't need to purchase everything just now did you not?" . No. I did not. . There will always be a medium of exchange so long as there are scarce resources. The most scarce resource of all is human invention. . You suggested knowledge as the medium of exchange, not I. I merely informed you of the fact that it would in fact be a medium of exchange, which you try to deny.
-
@CurtHowland Okay, now you are just TROLLING.. because either i break my word to comment.. or you think you are right when you just contradicted yourself... you agree we don't need to purchase everything just now did you not? so it can't not be truthful that you still believe that new money will be knowledge... in a world advanced enough to survive without war there will be no need for money.. there will be no need to purchase aka NO MONEY.. Everything changes that is the unmistakable truth lol
-
@angelusp777 Yes. Yes it does.
-
@GravDiga "in a 100 years we could be living without the need to purchase anything." . Sure. Could be we perfect genetic manipulation and all live like gods. "Could be"! . Good book, "There Will Be Dragons", by John Ringo . "but just knowledge as the only trade between lives." . In which case knowledge is being used as money. It doesn't change the function of money, merely the medium of exchange. . People have used shells, rocks, iron, wine, even paper as money. Tomorrow? Who knows?
