The Big Dipper is my favorite…always easy to find, and very large…no particular astronaut ambitions (too old now, anyway), but would like to see Man visit Mars or moons of other planets…I absolutely believe in Life elsewhere in the Universe; perhaps not how we are accustomed to thinking of it, but Life nonetheless…I like to go out on a very dark, clear night and gaze up at the stars and sort of fall into the vastness of the Universe, and think, “How could this be anything but wonderful, stupendous, beautiful serendipity?”

I am fascinated by astronauts and the NASA program. It is still amazing to me that we can send rockets and people into space. I have avidly followed the Mars Rover missions. Little Opportunity and Spirit amazed everyone and just kept sending back more and more data.

Orion is my favorite constellation. There may be life on other planets but they are many light years away and just too far for them to just show up here and do fly by’s on earth and leave. I don’t think any UFO’s of alien life forms has visited earth yet. the reason I think that is because, why would they travel that far way just to play peek-boo and not try to communicate with us?

favorite constellation - Orion
astronaut ambitions - Standing atop Olympus Monds and knock a golf ball out into the black.
Do you believe there’s life on other planets - I do, but I doubt we’ll be able to reach out to them anytime soon.
Anything else - I think the first steps in making science fiction, science fact is to dream.
Dreaming up new and exciting uses for technology is the best way to spark imagination and inventiveness… And fiction are our soap boxes to shout from; weather it be the Starship Troopers Armor or the Star Trek Tricorder we’re shouting about we just need to keep it up… we need to keep thinking and dreaming and maybe one day the worlds of Pham and Kirk and Rick Hunter will be less fiction and more fact.

My favorite is the Milky Way, oh wait that’s my favorite candy bar…….favorite constellation is Aries (ok I admit that it’s also my sign but still
it really is my favorite). Since I’m afraid to fly,
guess being a astronaut is out unless they deep freeze me. Yes, I believe there is life in outer space but I sincerely hope I never personally find out I’m right.

I find it very hard to believe that there ISN’T some other kind of life in the universe. The sheer number of other stars makes it seem that there should be A LOT of other life in the universe.
Brandy

My favorite constellation is Cassiopaeia (sp?) because next to Orion, it’s about the only one I can regularly find (dippers excluded). I have no astronaut ambitions - I am too old. And I definately believe there is live elsewhere - it may be radically different from us but it is there somewhere.
Yvonne North

I’m answering all 3 of the suggested topics b/c they’re super interesting! I’ve lived in my hometown most of my life and star-gazing isn’t the easiest thing to do in a large town so Orion’s belt was always my favorite constellation usually because it was the only one I could spot consistently with a naked eye. I’d love to get the chance to go into space but I doubt I’ll pick up a spare $20 mil that would enable me to do so! And I do believe there’s life (at least on a cellular level) on other planets, mainly those outside of our solar system. The universe is so unfathomably large and we’ve only just begun to really branch out so how could there not be?
Kelly
Nov 20, 2008 at 4:51 am
I’ve always been interested in the idea of parallel universes. Whether or not such a thing exists is beyond me, of course, but the idea that there’s something out there that’s extremely similar to our own planet is intriguing. And kinda scary.

This is a great contest. Thanks.
I used to love astronomy and got away from it for a while, but went to Maine this summer and spent several nights laying out by the river looking up at the most stars I’d ever seen.
I bought a new constellation book and tried to locate things… not a lot of luck.
I also am fascinated by black holes and read everything I can about them.

Although the Big Dipper is easily identified, my favorite goes to the North Star and how it has served as a celestial compass in history past and present.

Yes, I do believe that there is some form of life on other planets. We can’t be the only living beings in a universe so large.
I’ve always wanted to travel into space. I don’t think I’ll be able to do it in my lifetime but I hope that my son can experience it one day.

I usually leave the Science Fiction genre to my husband - I personally believe there are stranger things in our universe than we CAN imagine… “Conventional” life is probably the least of it.
flared0ne
Nov 22, 2008 at 9:00 pm
I think humans have an integral bias toward planets, which is getting in our way.
Actually, given that our solar system shares the “shoals” of its Oort cloud with those of the OTHER nearest stars (because OURS extends out approx three light years, more than halfway to Alpha Centauri, therefore overlapping Alpha Centauri’s Oort cloud) the odds are huge that the absolutely largest reef-system ecology in the universe is out ~there~ in the cold and dark. Watching us. Contemplating us. Debating… us.

I never used to be live in life on other planets until my sister got me hooked on documentaries about Roswell, Area 51, crop circles, alien abductions, alien autopsies, and the like. In fact, I’d love to win this DVD set for her, because I know how fascinated she is with learning about galaxies and constellations. Thanks!

I’m not sure if this counts, but when I was a kid I wrote to NASA about how much I wanted to be an astronaut. NASA send reams of information and autographed pictures of astronauts (which I have today.) As a child, just getting this stuff in the mail was unbelievable.

I believe there’s life on other planets. I don’t think we’re the only living, breathing entities in the universe. *Thanks* for the giveaway!

I like Orion because when it starts going away that means spring is coming.

Might be life on other planets, but I doubt it’s human…

Favorite planet is Jupiter, always aspired to be an astronaut, but settled on being a homemaker with two little girls who love looking through a telescope as much as I do.

Either the Big Dipper, or Orion…they are really the only two I can pick out! It is truely arrogant to believe that there is no other life out there but us..out of all the billions upon billions of galaxies out there…

I have always enjoyed trying to figure out the constellations and stars. I wish on stars at night; most of the time I find out I am wishing on a planet

If there is life out there, I hope we do not find it until we become civilized enough. We have scant respect for fellow humans and other species on Earth, and if we find life elsewhere, I do not think having such an attitude is good either for us or them.

I like Orion, and I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. I don’t know about life on other planets.

What a great contest! I think it’s unreasonable for us to assume we are the only life in the universe. The universe is too vast and there are too many possiblilties.

My favorite constellation is Orion. It was the very first constellation I actually located and recognized in the sky. I’d been taking astronomy, and I had the star charts and I’d gaze at the heavens and try to make sense of them, but it wasn’t working. For Christmas, my mom and dad gave me an inexpensive telescope, nothing fancy, and I walked outside, past the big tree in our front yard, and I was looking up, and there it was. Orion. From there, I was able to locate and identify all the other constellations. Every fall, when he comes out in the evening again, it’s like welcoming an old friend.

Orion has a rich place in story telling. Of course there are other life forms out there.

I always liked the little dipper and the big dipper. They’re the easiest for me to find.
I have ‘relatives’ in Roswell. Of course there are others out there. ;-)

It wouldn’t surprise me if there was life on other planets. However, I don’t think it is more evolved than ours and I certainly don’t think they look humanoid or look like little green men.

My favorite constellation is the Big Dipper because I can actually spot it. As for life on other planets… Yes, and they are probably wondering if there is life on planets other than theirs. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE !!!

It is amazing to think that the Greeks saw the same constellations that we see today. I doubt that there is life out there but if it happened once, it could happen again.
