Education!

Education! I had no idea how deep man has been before modern times. Amazing!

Science!  Atoms, much like galaxies, are pretty hard to visualize. This video helps out with at least one of them. Take a look and realize how fucking cool science is!

Uh-oh, facts! (Hint: watch the video) Originally shared by Pierre Markuse 13 Misconceptions About Global Warming Usually it goes like that: You post something remotely related to climate change or global warming and the bashing in the comments starts. Is it real? Is it imagination?  Although most scientists agree that climate change is real, some of course don't. That's just normal and not a problem in itself. But it seems climate change denial is getting promoted for various reasons.  If you look up 'Climate change denial' in Wikipedia you'll find this definition here: Climate change denial is a denial or dismissal of the scientific consensus on the extent of global warming, its significance, and its connection to human behavior, especially for commercial or ideological reasons. Typically, these attempts take the rhetorical form of legitimate scientific debate, while not adhering to the actual principles of that debate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_cha...

War, but we seem to not have any problems spending for that. Originally shared by Penny4NASA We Are The Explorers UPDATE: funding at 50%! As you might know, NASA cannot advertise itself. This is due to a federal restriction that the government places on itself as a whole. It can reach out publicly to explain what it does for the public, but the advertising landscape for a federal agency is complex. So, as a result NASA cannot advertise itself in a traditional, commercial sense.  The AIA (Aerospace Industries Association) is so stoked about what NASA does, that they have decided to advertise on behalf of NASA. AND, they've decided to crowdsource this effort with Indiegogo.com. ANNNDDD they are planning on showing the ad with the new Star Trek Into Darkness movie that is coming out this year! This comes at a crucial time when NASA's own...
