Reapers are coming! We're boned.

[Plurralbles]

It's rudolph the white nosed reindeer!

No, seriously it looks like the dog thing from the Nightmare Before Christmas.

 

[Lord_Panzer]

You're all overreacting. It's just an upside down B-wing.

See?

 

[rosemystica]

Excellent. The mothership shall soon arrive and take me home. XD

1. FTL is impossible (discounting the warp drive loophole) bending space, however, is not. Holding to that, you don't have to travel at massive speeds to move massive distances rapidly ie. Battlestar Galactica jump style.

2. Gravity is an unlikely cause for a shape like that.

3. Let us dub it "unclassified debris" until it changes course on its own or shows other signs of abnormal activity.

4. I hope it is an alien spacecraft, we have nukes if we need to defend ourselves, and we have a lot to learn if they are peaceful.

Travelling at 11,000mph, well I'll start to worry in 527 years time then.

 

[ohellynot]

Looks like an X-Wing to me. >,>

More like an upside down B-wing to me. XD

 

[CrysisMcGee]

reminds me of some of the spacecraft in Freelance. The high-end ones you get at max level.

Looks very cool, to be honest with you.

 

[soapyshooter]

definitely a B-Wing!

 

[madmatt]

A giant X huh?
Well it's obviously where the space treasure is hidden.

this. Possibly thoughtfully marked out by this:

It's obviously Space Hitler, here from the Second Dimension to atone for his father's crimes. We're saved!

Seriously, if i see a triangle in the sky does that mean the time of the tiranguloids is upon us?

 

[Javelk]

Should we hope for servitude or obliteration?

 

[Shifty Tortoise]

Well... Fuck looking for a job, who wants to go get pissed?

 

[batterj2]

Bring it.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Well, it doesnt really matter if it doesnt look like a spaceship now does it?
Its probably not, but they could be a hell of alot more advanced than us and have developed some kind of cloaking device of awesome sauce.

 

[Donttazemehbro]

Maybe Luke got lost. Also, we found Prothean ruins on mars in 2148, we have a ways to go

yeah and 11,000 MPH is not even CLOSE to the speed of light (186,000 Miles per SECOND) so they are probably not much more advanced than we are.

 

[Composer]

it looks the spaceship from starfox

 

[MortisLegio]

Cylons are coming
or Im I the only one who sees a Basestar

 

[Blatherscythe]

Ah bring it on, Shepard will... Oh wait... he isn't real is he? Yeah, we're boned.

Quick! Some grizzled short brown haired millitary man screw a chick whos last name is Shepard!!!

Astronomy Picture of the Day. Nasa is agreeing with the comet collision. But we're all smarter than to believe that.

If you get to this link tomorrow the picture/article will be different. So follow this one..

I was going to point this out. Instead, I will address the various fesability of space travel threads on this topic with a quote from SF author Charlie Stross' excellent blog [http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/], which has many posts dealing with the actuality of space travel/colonization, "Colonize the Gobi desert, colonise the North Atlantic in winter - then get back to me about the rest of the solar system!"
