What's there to talk about?

>>9325517
Already talked about last week, where were you?

We had this on the 22. 11. 2017, with cca. 120 replies.

>>9325517
Because we talked about it last week.

>>9325530

It's the first confirmed object from other solar system that we can examine.

What should it be called /sci/?

>>9325517
Literally who cares?

Why are humans so prone to get excited about irrelevant shit?

>>9325619
>t. NASA

For the life of me the photo looks like a greenscreen composite of a reefer joint.

>>9325619

Are you retarded or just pretending?

>>9325692
Explain the significance.

>>9325517
Because the Macross didn't land on earth like it did in the show

>>9325696
>the only things that matter are the ones which tangibly affect me directly
Total brainlet.

>>9325696

Do you really not see the significance of the first truly alien object in reach of humanity?

>>9325720
Not if it's just another stone.

>>9325723
>thinks it's a matter of interpretation
Absolute brainlet.

>>9325530
>>thicc
it's long and thin on at least one axis

>>what's there to talk about?
This paper discussed how we could send a probe to it:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.03155.pdf
But they did not consider nuclear pulse propulsion. What would a lander mission to Oumuamua look like using nuclear pulse propulsion. How many bombs would it take to rendezvous with it?

>>9325657
that's just a CGI image anyway

>>9325731
Everything is about interpretation. Every single human being interprets even the most basic words like yes or no differently.

>>9325737
>pop-psychology
Complete brainlet.

>>9325742
Fine, I am a brainlet. Have a nice day.

>>9325745
>giving up already
I was just memeing

>>9325751
I'm sorry for betraying your feelings. Quite honestly, you were my best friend.

>>9325772

>>9325517
Because people on this board prefer to meme about EE and equations.

The brake module? You are not allowed to talk about it.

>>9325696
>>9325692
>>9325619
literally anything that isn't direct stimulus of the senses is a brain disease of getting excited ofer something pointless

>>9325517
The pioneers used to ride these babies for lightyears.

>>9325931

>>9325720
It's really not significant at all.
Here's everything we know and will ever know about this rock:
Based on it's trajectory, it isn't part of our solar system.
That's it. Your CGI image is a guess, based on changes in its apparent magnitude.
It is not "within reach of humanity".
We will not examine it. We can't know where it came from or where it's going. We're not going to get high res pics, we're not getting samples, no one's visiting it.

>>9325517
It's got about the same dimensions as this thing

>>9326465

>>9326469

>>9326472
it is also slightly red

>>9326465
Either those people are giants or the ship tiny

>>9325873
implying your occiptal lobe and frontal lobe aren't being stimulated.

t. brainlet

>>9327010
Nothing of those left anyway after the lobotomy

>>9325614
space penis

Thought there was all that needed to be said

>>9327759
SpaceD

>>9326982
I know it's just a little trolling, but look at the 3rd picture. The tiny ship next to it is one of the "big" ships that are inland on channels/rivers. The ones that sometimes also have a car or two aboard and where several people can live for weeks.

Brainlet detected

Well, my uncle(who works at NASA) said that all the data they collected on this object points to it being a brake module for some kind of interstellar vessel. Ejecting one or several such brake modules is the most efficient and cheapest way to slow down an interstellar vessel. The path of the brake module(pretty close to Earth) suggests that if there is such a payload on its way, it is aimed for Earth and it wants to actually land, not destroy it. According to my uncle(who is pretty high up in the system at NASA) the governments of the world are scrambling to get in their arks, he's not sure how and where but Elon is certainly involved. The current estimations assume a payload slightly smaller than the brake module, and probably another brake module will be ejected closer to Earth. Depending on these variables, NASA expects the payload module to land some time in December 2017. If another such brake module is observed passing the Earth, it is probably a matter of days or hours before the payload module lands on Earth. Keep your shotguns ready.

>>9328402
Ayy lmao
We're already here

>>9327959
They are just reaction images of the same character.

>>9328402
Your uncle, if he even exists, is clearly seeing how far he can go while you still believe all this gunk. Somewhere down the line he will pop the crucial question: will you buy this second hand bridge he got? make sure then you buy in more than two instalments.

You will thank me.

>>9328695
that's an avatar you baka

>>9328773
Did you normalfags really believe Elon wouldn't save those deemed worthy? Think again.

>>9328402
We had these threads last week already, /x/. You missed the party

>>9325931
Underrated shitpost

>>9328695
Sure

>>9325723
>Not if it's just another stone.

>>9325931
underrated

>>9328402
You really tried to hit every conspiracy nutjob cliche as fast as possible, eh

>>9328402
Big if true.

Wouldn't an alien ship look like this if they wanted to camouflage it?

>>9329917
Probably whatever is on that payload module is not aware of or interested in whatever is on Earth. The best bet is they want to build a Dyson Sphere around the Sun, and see Earth and the other rocky planets as a close source of materials. Don't be surprised if Earth starts disintegrating mid December.

There could be an HIV outbreak 5cm away from my ass and I would still not care just as long as I don't get sick.

I care about math. Geology or astronomy (or whatever field the cuck who cares about that rock icicle studies) can fuck off.

>>9329938

Why are there so many undergrad retards on this board?

>>9329941

must be retarded

why is it that shape

Anyone really know what the red color implies beyond their simple explanation?
