Ryv Mutsu The accomplishments and challenges overcome are quite the inspiration, even if of somber nature at times (I recently finished your third book release), and ultimately we are people with capabilities and limitations - knowing ourselves to both extents and acting accordingly seems the wisest course, even if pragmatic. Nothing changes from this end at least, at least decreases as I aim to increase in time and my own hurdles are cleared, and rather I only encourage and wish fervor the brilliant plan in life thus far. The written, drawn, and recorded things from yourself and Ryosuke are admired and appreciated \(^w^)/

Jack Semura Grace, for what it's worth agree with Thanh Phan. Please don't "get too overwhelmed .. and lose your passion .. " I support you in order to make your life a little bit easier, not harder.

John Kimberley What if the proton does have a half-life? 10 to the 34 years is not that long.

Pete Mancini We can't say we have looked hard at all for SETI signals. No analysis have ever shown that the signal originated near Earth which makes it the only viable candidate we have for a signal from another civilization. Also, with 98% of the sky not having been surveyed we haven't even tried. There are 5 degrees of freedom here. Big Ear hit the big one by being lucky. The spot where the signal appears to original is largely empty. On the one hand you might conclude this proves it was a false signal, or perhaps a glitch in the processing by Big Ear's computers. I was in this boat until I played out several game theory rounds and discovered that the smartest strategy is to negotiate contact off of your home world. Now, being able to create a 2.2 GW signal in interstellar space takes technology we don't have. However we can imagine it. It's not impossible. If that is the case then perhaps the Wow! signal came from a probe or a reflector. In which case it's up to us to scan wider, more constantly and everywhere. To do this I suggest a crowdsourced project where people build small, purpose built radio telescopes and run them. Get enough people and enough data and let SETI@home crunch the numbers. It would greatly increase the coverage of space, produce useful radio telescope science, and be a neat project. It's easy to build one and several people have created web pages and pdf documents dedicated to it.

Thuan Mai I used to do illustrations (20 years ago) and highly recommend you get one of these. It will save you time, money on supplies and increase productivity, while giving your art that warm hand drawn look. http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-tablets/intuos-manga

Texan in Tokyo I've been thinking about getting one of those... but I really REALLY like the feel of pen on paper. And since I spend so much time with technology - I kind of want to have an excuse to not be looking at a screen (when I'm drawing comics).

Kuri the Vegan "Meh." LOL. *I* was still fascinated anyway, haha. Though as a true introvert, I'm easily affected by sound. Loud noises give me physical-like pain, I plug my ears when the Doppler effect is imminent, and space noises (real or fake) always make me a bit happier, even if they creep me out at the same time.

John Kimberley Let's go back to Uranus and Neptune. Take a good look at Triton. Then maybe let's go see Eris.

John Kimberley oh yes and while we are looking out, let's look in and go to Venus with a balloon or something, so we can definitely show whether there are active volcanoes on Venus or not.

Ross Trower Imagine being able to look up and see an entire galaxy (or two!) in the night sky. #wow

Fraser Cain We can already do that with the Milky Way. The closer you get, the more it gets spread out so it remains the same level of brightness.

Ross Trower We can't see the entirety of the galaxy though, I meant seeing the Galaxy from above whilst orbiting a rogue star outside of the Milky Way. xD

Rick Bennette In answer to your question, what would life be like if we were following a rogue star out of the galaxy, I think the answer would depend upon a number of factors, the main one being would our solar system remain intact, or would all the planets change their orbital distance? I'm not sure if the gravitational center of the Milky Way has as much effect on the orbits of planets around the sun as it does on the orbit of the sun around the center of the Milky Way. Assuming the sun was flung into open space with all the orbits of its planets intact, I don't think we'd notice much more than the gradual shift of the positions of stars in the night sky as we drifted away from The Milky Way. Once we were far enough away from the Milky Way, eventually the night sky would be devoid of most of its stars, and only a few rogue stars and other galaxies would be visible at night. For some time, we'd be treated to an incredible outside view of the Milky Way. Naturally, this also assumes we were not flung into another star on our way into never never land. Thinking about the cause of such a solar fling, it would likely be the result of a high powered, nearby star exploding that would cause this, and such explosion would likely affect the planets and their orbits as well. If the Earth was flung from the sun in the process, the Earth would eventually lose its solar energy supply from the sun, eventually ending all life on our planet. A few people in underground shelters would survive a little longer, but eventually those too would succumb to the cold.

James Truck Captain Stumpy My first thought about future episodes would be to try and find a mission to Jay's beard to search for life... (my beard is better than your beard - nyeah nyeah)- IMAGINE the wonders that might be found in that bushy forest? LOL But seriously... In all honesty, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede are likely the BEST candidates, but i also think we might have a good chance for finding life on Venus... one might find life in the more manageable temps in the atmosphere, but in all honesty, i am thinking subterranean searches on the planet might be more fruitful. (but what do i know, right? my BEARD might have life in it as well... )

James Truck Captain Stumpy the best way i could think of is to pull a "Red" Adair... blow it out with a serious explosion that would interfere with the fusion by interrupting the process and redistributing the plasma ... if that was even capable. of course, it would take something equivalent to a very close supernova likely... but... as long as we are talking dreamworld and discussing magically replacing cores... why not?
