We Are Giving Away the Universe
November 11, 2008 by Cynthia
It’s been fifty years since man traveled into space and we’re just now discovering the secrets of the stars and the planets. The Universe makes good use of the advances in both science and TV production technology to bring this new world to life.
This season’s episodes include space disasters, parallel universes, light speed and sex in space. Hey, if we’re ever going to colonize other planets, we gotta figure this stuff out!

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.
It scary to think there might be life out in the universe such as the Klignons.
I tend to think positive on this subject. What iof there IS another life being, and they could actually help us?
I do think there is life on other planets.

I would like this.
i will pick the milky way..is that a constellation???
lol
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’ve always been fond of Casseiopeia!
Iheart the big dipper:) ty 4 the entry and the awesome 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…
I like the big dipper.
The big dipper.
My favorite constellation is the Big Dipper.
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.
Orion makes me smile in the winter.
I definitely believe in life on other planets
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.
Yes, I do believe there is life somewhere on other planet(s).
Orion for the constellation and anything outter space is groovy, Remember Klaatu?:)

I love Draco http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellations/Draco.html
Wow – would I ever love this
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 !!!
My favorite constellation is Monoceros.
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.
My Favorite Constellation Is The Big Dipper And I Have No Ambition Of Being An Astronaut And I Dont Believe There’s Life On Other Planets
Everybody loves the Milky Way…..bar and constellation!
Woot! UPS just dropped off my prize pack and it is totally awesome!!! Thanks again!
