There’s a bigger story to the wooden space satellite. The Japanese wooden aerospace company, Zelkamakazi, developed a whole plywood based space industry. They flew the very first wood multi-stage rocket that had a pinewood second stage. The second stage burned a wood-pulp and maple syrup mixture for fuel. It is all there on the Internet, you can look it up.
Au contraire. The “UFOs” are ours for the most part, manufactured for by Lockheed-Martin Skunkworks (think: Tic Tacs). The true ones go from one point in space to another instantly, melding materials and mind. (see Einstein and Quantum Mechanics) These same projects have been in the works for decades at various military bases and military contractors who own the technology. See the documentaries by Dr. Steven Greer.
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in human philosophy. And there are more things in this reality than have been discovered by human pursuit of science.
Hope to at least get a BIG SMILE when you read this!
A policeman was interrogating 3 guys who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first guy a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”
The first guy answers, “That’s easy, we’ll catch him fast because he only has one eye!”
The policeman says, “Well…uh…that’s because the picture I showed is his side profile.”
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second guy and asks him, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”
The second guy smiles, flips his hair and says, “Ha! He’d be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!”
The policeman angrily responds, “What’s the matter with you two?!!? Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it’s a picture of his side profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?”
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third guy and in a very testy voice asks, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”
He quickly adds, “Think hard before giving me a stupid answer.”
The third guy looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, “The suspect wears contact lenses.”
The policeman really doesn’t know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not.
“Well, that’s an interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that.” he says.
He leaves the room and checks the suspect’s file on his computer and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.
“Wow! I can’t believe it. It’s TRUE! The suspect does, in fact, wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?”
“That’s easy…” the third guy replied. “He can’t wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear”

Apparently there is a legitimate reason to consider making satellites out of wood.

In space, two aliens are talking to each other.
The first alien says, “The dominant life forms on the Earth planet have developed satellite-based nuclear weapons.”
The second alien asks, “Are they an emerging intelligence?”
The first alien says, “I don’t think so, they have them aimed at themselves.”

Comets have two tails. The dust tail and the ion tail. The ion tail points away from the sun.

To all you Triskadekaphobics out there, or more precisely you Paraskevidekatriaphobics*;have a great day.
to save having to Google it Paraskevidekatriaphobia, is the fear of Friday the 13th)In complete (dis)respect to a certain orphidia fondler: One time I was afraid of the number 14.

25,000 years is why I don’t believe in UFO’s and it must be 50,000 years to reach the other side of our galaxy if the Black Hole didn’t slurp you up.

At the speed of light the time experienced on the space ship to travel to the Galaxy’s center is 0. I.E. the trip would be instantaneous.

Does this mean that the termites are finally subject to banishment from Earth?

…but to travel to the next closest star (Proxima Centauri) at the same speed would only take about 4.244 years.

If you’re travelling at the speed of light, time stops, so you would not take ant subjective time to get there.

In science fiction they zip across the galaxy in just a few hours. That’s why we need infinite improbability drive.
