- or ever, really. It's a consequence of optics. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:20 11
  - at this time, 100 years after Zefram Cochrane we'll be able to pop over there in about an hour snap a cell phone photo and be back in another hour -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 09:26 5
    - Crash, I have something need to tell you about Star Trek... -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:28 4
      - my point being, we'll have telescopes but they won't be stationary/orbital, they'll be on moving platforms - now what about Star Trek? -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 09:30 3
        
        According to Star Trek, Khan was supposed to be in power in 1996 - amoxy Oct 15, 09:35
        
        Also, I have some things to tell you about Santa. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:33 1
        
        You're confusing me, man. Santa isn't real. Where are you going with this? -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 09:34
  - the better hubble don't use optics :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 15, 09:23 4
    - that sort of defeats his initial request. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:23 3
      - the real question is about funnyness - Danedukenuuk Oct 15, 09:24 2
        
        OK, I guess Hubble 2.0 is going to use your ass as a gravitational lens, then. : ) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:25 1
        
        yep but hubble 3.9 is installed on the moon (about same size) after the atomic explotion there - Danedukenuuk Oct 15, 09:27
