I have always been fascinated by space. I still believe that there are life forms beyond our universe.

I hope for a mission to Neptune specifically in my lifetime. A Cassini like mission would be the dream! There's so much to be discovered. Astronomy is wonderful.

Player #Irvine Ian, you mean to say beyond our galaxy? For sure, there could even be life forms in our galaxy. Billions of solar systems in our galaxy, and billions of galaxies in the universe.

When I was a kid growing up in the 60s, Uranus and Neptune were always pictured as green. We've learned a bunch since then. Yet there are still those that believe the US never landed on the moon. They still think that it was some multi billion dollar hoax. I can sorta understand how people would be suspicious in 1969, but in 2021.... Gee whiz!

actually in reality it's cyan. if this person would have done a quick Google search to confirm before they go on here and make up a question they don't know what they're talking about. it's a mixture of green and blue just like Uranus

I believe there's life out there...I just don't believe it's visited earth. The laws of the universe (especially expansion) don't favor long-distance space travel.

Player #Irvine Ian, I am positive there is. it is only logical that out of millions of galaxies, much less millions of star systems, there would be more planets with conditions similar to Earth.

apparently the methane must absorb the other colors of the rainbow, orange, yellow, green...
