    Sorry, but no. It's out there, no backsies, DS9 was the best Trek show.

    DS9 > All

    There, I've thrown a spanner in the works. Let the nerd battle rage! :D

    I was in denial like this too, but then it went down the tubes at a great rate somewhere around season 4. Sort your life out.

    DS9 was the nadir of a show that should have been forgotten once the sixties had passed.

    Stephen Hawking warns we should be wary of getting in touch with possible aliens, as they could be far more intelligent than us, and we could lead to our own destruction if we make contact and they come to raid the planet for resources, and there is likely millions upon millions of planets in Goldilocks zones around other stars, where it isn't too hot or too cold.

    Space is so big we don't know...yet. The new telescope to be launched within the next ten years is expected to give us a lot more information as it will be able to see what makes up the atmosphere on other planets outside our solar system.

    Not the case at all, it was a terrific show and only got better as it went on.

    Actually, yes, few shows even come close to B5, but as far as Trek goes, DS9 was the best.

    Space is like time,

    Time is natures way of making sure everything doesn't all happen at once

    Space is natures way of making sure everything isn't all happening in the same place.

    I'll do no such thing! It had the best supporting cast of any of the Treks, Sisko was a brilliantly written character, he was flawed and suffered from PTSD. It also had some of the best episodes of any Trek, The Visitor or Far Beyond The Stars for example. ;)

    Also, unless something is indoors or camouflaged, whether you can see it from space or not depends on your eyesight/equipment


    You can see the pyramids from space with your naked eye, but you can the deckchairs in my back garden with a spy satellite, and if we could be bothered to waste billions of dollars, we could probably read the small print in a pocket dictionary from space if we put the right satelite into orbit.

    That episode is a load of rubbish :P

    A random episode about racism in the middle of a war, nothing to do with Trek

    I remember a friend of mine telling me, in all seriousness, that the lads in Apollo 11 lunar orbiter 'had a punch-up' to decide who was going to the surface and who was gong to be first on the Moon. :D

    Blake's 7 was great but unfortunately was made on a budget of around 5p. Avon remains The Man.

    According to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the world governing body for aeronautics records, outer space begins 100 kilometers (roughly 62 miles) above sea level. This barrier, known as the Kármán Line, represents the height at which air is too thin to give a vehicle sufficient aerodynamic lift to maintain its altitude.

    In a July 2009 interview with The Guardian, Michael Collins revealed that he was very worried about Armstrong and Aldrin's safety. He was also concerned that, in the event of their deaths on the Moon, he would be forced to return to Earth alone and, as the mission's sole survivor, be regarded as "a marked man for life".
