A Few Disturbing Madison Avenue Ads. The Imaginarium.

Hello Space Fans!
It's Wednesday and time for a bit of fun.

And from the Creepy Magazine Ads of Yesteryear Just for You Troubadours.

Photos, and my thoughts.

What is this kid thinking? Who enjoys their Orange Juice this much?

He shot his eye out, his mother's eye, his father's eye and his pastor's eye before the police arrived. The Space Centers get the same look on the faces of their campers when they're handed a toy phaser and told aliens are coming.

I don't think I'd sleep well at night if she were in my home. I'd keep a cross above the bed and wear garlic. It wouldn't hurt to keep a wooden stake and hammer next to the bed - just in case. I think we had her daughter at the Magellan Engineering Station two months ago.

"Gee mom, mushy spaghetti from a can dumped on my plate for Sunday Dinner. I couldn't think of anything I would rather have. We love you too mom!"

Yep, she's a meat eater. I don't see a vegan lifestyle in her future, do you?

"I'll be eatin these here beans, then I'll be joinin ya on the sofa cause we all know what's a comin after I eat these here beans."

I wonder.... is she looking at the sandwich or her mother's fingers? Cannibalism has been known to spring up even the best of families.

And More From the Imaginarium.

At the Imaginarium we celebrate the creations of Human Imagination.

Yes, I want!

I question everything I know because I can't remember anymore where I learned it.

Your Steampunk Computer. Tell me you wouldn't want one of these on your desk.

I didn't believe them when I was your age either.

Go on, keep thinking everyone has your best interests at heart...... :)

Project Voyager. They Come. Space and Science News. The Imaginarium.

Project Voyager

The answer to the mysterious radio transmissions of 2012 was sent in June of that same year. The origin of the signal hadn't been established at the time of transmission. It was a shot in the dark done by well meaning scientists unaware of the consequences of their actions. No one, not even those responsible for the message, expected an answer. Two years later, an answer was received.

The answer to our greeting came in binary code. Exobytes of data streamed through Earth's radio telescopes and into the planet's fastest computers for decoding and analysis. Despite their best efforts, Governments tried and failed to keep the incoming messages secret. There was no mass panic or hysteria. Hollywood was given the credit for that. For the last sixty years Hollywood has desensitized the world's population to the idea of 'aliens' from other worlds through film and video.

Excitement and anticipation has captured the planet's imagination. Who are these aliens so willing to share their technology? The data was confusing at first, but as time past the sender's intentions became clear. Earth was on the receiving end of a titanic volume of technical schematics. "They" were sending plans for an interstellar starship powered by a technology completely new to humanity. The starship designs were accompanied by detail schematics on advanced weaponry.

The transmission ended with a simple and frightening statement. "They heard. Too far to help. Build now. They come. More to follow."

Construction of the Earth's first interstellar, wormhole generating starship is underway using the alien blueprints. There is an urgency in the work, for if the warning is to be trusted, 'they' are coming and we must be prepared.

Starship Voyager

The ship is called Voyager. It will be humanity's ark.

Signs of Alien Life Will Be Found by 2025, NASA's Chief Scientist Predicts

Humanity is on the verge of discovering alien life, high-ranking NASA scientists say.

"I think we're going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we're going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years," NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan said Tuesday (April 7) during a panel discussion that focused on the space agency's efforts to search for habitable worlds and alien life.

"We know where to look. We know how to look," Stofan added during the event, which was webcast live. "In most cases we have the technology, and we're on a path to implementing it. And so I think we're definitely on the road." [5 Bold Claims of Alien Life]
