Considering it’s kind of huge, space is obviously full of its fair share of cool shit. And some of it happens to be right in our cosmic backyard, so try not to feel too bad that Pandora isn’t real, you fucking Na’vi-loving creep. Seriously though, there are people out there who actually “experienced depression and suicidal thoughts” after seeing Avatar. Like thousands of them. Now THAT’S what’s really depressing about the film.

But you know what makes me depressed and suicidal? The fact that we know goddamned nothing about our universe, fuck, even the very world we live on, because our retarded population is too busy fighting over whether or not dinosaurs ever existed. Or that half of the really awesome, mindblowing shit that we do know never gets released to the public because there’s probably some way to turn that information into a bomb.

Nonetheless, NASA just released a whole bunch of incredibly gorgeous photos of the surface of Mars, which, to my disappointment, don’t include any images of alien settlements. Regardless, they’ve still really gotten my nerd genes all a-quiver.

Like this one, which scientists “assure” us does not actually depict trees, but trails of debris streaking down the dunes. Yeah, okay guy.

The rest are all equally stunning, so cram that up your crying-for-Pandora cram hole. Who’s the Toruk Makto now?
