We would've seen many more space exploration and probably ones like in interstellar and Martian movies as well xD. Follow us to explore more @the_astrophysics_forum.

Science, not silence...
Science is more than a discipline, it’s a belief system. It’s a way of looking at the world in wonder with insatiable curiosity. Scientists value rationality. They have a healthy sense of skepticism, they are critical thinkers. They are using their time and energy to understand the world and make it a better place.
They deal in evidence and facts.
Not politics and lies.
I am THRILLED to hear that scientists are hearing the same call to action that many other groups are answering in these unsettling times...
The March for Science is a celebration of our passion for science and a call to support and safeguard the scientific community. Recent policy changes have caused heightened worry among scientists, and the incredible and immediate outpouring of support has made clear that these concerns are also shared by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Mischaracterization of science as a partisan issue, which has given policymakers permission to reject overwhelming evidence, is a critical and urgent matter. It is time for people who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand and be counted.
ON APRIL 22, 2017, WE WALK OUT OF THE LAB AND INTO THE STREETS.
We are scientists and science enthusiasts. We come from all races, all religions, all gender identities, all sexual orientations, all socioeconomic backgrounds, all political perspectives, and all nationalities. Our diversity is our greatest strength: a wealth of opinions, perspectives, and ideas is critical for the scientific process. What unites us is a love of science, and an insatiable curiosity. We all recognize that science is everywhere and affects everyone.
Science is often an arduous process, but it is also thrilling. A universal human curiosity and dogged persistence is the greatest hope for the future. This movement cannot and will not end with a march. Our plans for policy change and community outreach will start with marches worldwide and a teach-in at the National Mall, but it is imperative that we continue to celebrate and defend science at all levels - from local schools to federal agencies - throughout the world.

See also my del.icio.us links or my flipboards or many of the content/curation pages on my weebly site... in particular though, one of the greatest scientists of all times comes to mind (Post: Carl Sagan)
And that includes politicians!! In one of my favorite videos of Carl, he speaks about science, politics, and skepticism (here’s the short clip on that).
Op-Ed: Why we need scientists to run for public office now - via Ars Technica
Which is why it’s also exciting to see groups encouraging scientists to run for office....
We are members of the STEM Community, grassroots supporters, and political activists committed to bring innovation to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, aggressively advocate for real solutions to Climate Change and elect more STEM trained candidates to public office.

Why I’m Marching for Science
In Age of Trump, Scientists Show Signs of a Political Pulse
A lot of Americans don’t know a thing scientist. We need to fix that
Excerpt: This is the battle for the legitimacy of science, a battle we helped create because we still haven’t figured out how to show people what we do, why we do it, and why it’s important. So we’ll march. And then we have to get to work. Going forward, we have to be stewards. We have to share without condescension and be patient and helpful as people balance uncomfortable truths. We have to integrate into our communities as voices on the ground. We’re people who care about the health and well-being of the human race. That’s why we sequester ourselves in our labs working for cures, or in front of computers trying to understand weather patterns, or out in the ocean, gathering samples of water, fish, and plants. But we have to do a better job of communicating if we want the default to be evidence-based policy for us, the people, and not for profit. I hope it’s not too late to reverse our failings.
Happy Earth Day!! #earthday #nature #wood #naturalphonecase #iphone5 #iphonecase #teak #yyc #madeincanada
Hi havia una vegada una dragona de cua llarga i ales de papallona a la que li agradava tant llegir, que va plantar al seu jardí unes plantes molt curioses: tenien les fulles verdes, la seva flor era una rosa i donaven com a fruit llibres de tots colors i temàtiques diferents!! Així que, com us imaginareu, quan volia llegir una bona aventura, posava la tetera a escalfar i, amb l’ajuda de les seves veïnes les abelles, anava al jardí a recol·lectar tots els llibres que ja estaven al seu punt de maduració perfecte! Després depenent de si fa fred o calor agafa una manta o es posa a prendre el Sol en una hamaca. En una mà un nou llibre (una aventura per començar, una historia per descobrir, quins nervis!) i a l’altra mà la infusió, en una tassa fumejant o en un got ben gran amb uns quants “glaçonets” per acompanyar el temps. 🌹🐉 Quina llàstima que nosaltres no puguem plantar aquestes plantes però si que podem anar a les biblioteques o a les llibreries de barri o de poble, així que demà, si Sant Jordi voleu celebrar, ja sabeu on anar a triar i rebuscar, per un bon llibre regalar!

With plastic Islands, industrial pollution, and seven billion people. Maybe we should be a’little less risky.
Happy Earth Day 2017...:)
