Zeta Reticulum Posted November 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yet if NASA actually send a probe there... the most exciting and weird sightings will be glossed over and passed off as "rocks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma_Acid Posted November 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yet if NASA actually send a probe there... the most exciting and weird sightings will be glossed over and passed off as "rocks" Basing this on nothing of course. Everything that they claim to be a rock has been a rock. Why would they spend billions looking for life only to cover it up when they find it? Also, you wielding an argument you can't lose. Its the old conspiracy theorists "no news is evidence of a cover up", which makes exactly zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseCuster Posted November 11, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yet if NASA actually send a probe there... the most exciting and weird sightings will be glossed over and passed off as "rocks"What do you mean "if" they actually send a probe there? The Dawn space probe was launched in 2007 and is on its way to Ceres right now and will rendezvous with it in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted November 11, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted November 11, 2013 You are wasting your time trying to discuss this with Zeta Reticulum. He is a seagull poster in this section. He flies by, leaves a mess and doesn't return. There is a simple reason why he does this, it is because people do what you have done, ask him reasonable questions. He is never able to supply reasonable answers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphorbia Posted November 11, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Dwarf Planet Ceres May Harbor Life; NASA Spacecraft En Route Learned something new. I always thought Ceres was just the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt. Now it's a dwarf planet. Hope they find something to make the trip worthwhile......

Waspie_Dwarf Posted November 13, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Learned something new. I always thought Ceres was just the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt. Now it's a dwarf planet. Ceres was reclassified at the same time as Pluto, back in 2006. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
