Yeah but we can predict climate, so what’s a small error on the size of the atmosphere.

I’m going to kill this baby polar bear if you try to advance science any further. It’s settled, or else. Understand?

They know everything about nothing, and nothing about everything. And collect big fat money for—what, again?! Useless bastards!

“The Moon flies through Earth’s atmosphere,” says Igor Baliukin of Russia’s Space Research Institute, lead author of the paper presenting the results. “We were not aware of it until we dusted off observations made over two decades ago by the SOHO spacecraft.”

Is Russian invention!

Now along comes this new discovery, and suddenly it's plain to see that there's still much so we don't know about just about everything.

Impossible. Simply not possible. Everybody knows that the size of the earth's atmosphere is settled science. Who are these atmospheric size deniers? Off with their heads! To the camps with them!

From what I have read the atmosphere gets very very very thin...until its a stretch to consider it atmosphere. Exactly where we think the absolute extent of it seems somewhat arbitrary.

There are far better reasons to doubt the veracity of the AGW scare than this article.

“The Moon flies through Earth’s atmosphere,”

Kind of like that little metal ball in a can of spray paint...

I’ve known for awhile that the space station flies within the Earth’s atmosphere and I’ve been wanting to shock somebody with that fact.

The Earth’s atmosphere what we consider space is not mutually exclusive.

Thermo dynamics. As the erf gets hotterer and hotterer the atmosphere must expand. Except my house where it’s chilly enough to cause, uh, shrinkage.

What might be surprising to some is that the third van allen belt was only discovered in 1990.

Wouldn’t the atmospheric drag on the moon cause it to spiral in towards the earth?

[adorno]

Let me propose another FACT not known by most people...

The sun’s atmosphere is unending. So is the atmosphere of every star in the universe. Imagine then how far into the universe the atmosphere of every galaxy reaches.

Imagine how infinitely large the ‘atmosphere’ of the entire universe is. Every universe in the multi-verse is adversely affected and we’re all doomed.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

So nobody has actually been to space?

FTA: The outermost part of our atmosphere reaches nearly twice as far as the Moon and is about 50 times as big as our own planet

Whoa! you mean the astronauts did not need to wear a helmet all this time?.....

[BobL]

Damn, and all my life I thought the Apollo astronauts at least made it out of Earth’s atmosphere.

[DoughtyOne]

I knew it!

The Left has found a way to include us ruining the Moon too.

Ug!

[bigbob]

Cow fart inflation.
