My detective sleuths working overtime have discovered hidden away at the site of Space's rennovated Florida home his newly acquired 15th Gen. Monte Carlo SS. (Stellar Ship)

It comes with 4 ea. 1200whp liquid oxygen engines, 16 of the 48" titanium run flat tires with optional carbon fiber accents. Also has the optional quad 20MM chin gun for removal of extraterrestrial debris and hull breacher drill components to siphon fuel from commandeered vessels.

Space is preparing for his departure from Terra Firma, time and destination still classified.

Good luck and stay in contact with us Space, Major Tom is awaiting your imminent arrival.

 

That 15th gen Monte carlo looks alot like the armadillo from Armageddon. Nice ride tho.

 

LOL, it is the Armadillo from Armageddon, your to darn good, Nice catch........

 

Hmm, how much?

 

That thing is pretty sweet

 

Great Post Greg:

Liked the Movie also...
I have worked on oil riggs on and off shore!
In Port Arthur Texas!

The discovery of alien life or Earth-like planets and the implications to the world was a crucial item on the agenda at the annual World Economic Forum, or WEF, in Davos, Switzerland.
World business leaders and prominent politicians gathered to discuss issues or risks that the world may have to confront in the next decade.
So how did ETs become part of the mix?
In conjunction with the international science journal, Nature, the WEF came up with five "X Factor" items which it refers to as "unheralded dangers that sneak up on us."
One of those risk issues that Earth and its inhabitants may soon face is "the possible social consequences of contact with alien life," according to Nature.
Watch NASA's Kepler spacecraft's discovery of Earth-sized planets

The WEF Global Risks report for 2013 states that "Given the pace of space exploration, it is increasingly conceivable that we may discover the existence of alien life or other planets that could support human life. ... In 10 years' time, we may have evidence not only that Earth is not unique, but also that life exists elsewhere in the universe."
A primary reason why astronomers and astro-biologists are leaning in this direction is because of the tremendous success of NASA's Kepler spacecraft.
"It was only in 1995 that we first found evidence that other stars also have planets orbiting them. Now, thousands of 'exoplanets' revolving around distant stars have been detected. NASA's Kepler mission to identify Earth-sized planets...has been operating for only three years and has already turned up thousands of candidates, including one the size of Earth," according to the WEF report.
The risk factor of all of this comes with the long-term psychological and philosophical implications that will accompany the discovery of alien life.
"It will suggest that life is as natural and as ubiquitous a part of the universe as the stars and galaxies," the report continued. "The discovery of even simple life would fuel speculation about the existence of other intelligent beings and challenge many assumptions that underpin human philosophy and religion."
The Voice of Russia notes that the WEF team "urges the global elite to prepare themselves and their nations for such a discovery. The scientists suggest that new funding and new brain power will be needed to overcome the challenges that humanity will face as a result of its encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization."





In case you were wondering, the other "X Factor" risk items considered by the WEF were:

• Runaway Climate Change
• Significant Cognitive Enhancement
• Rogue Deployment of Geoengineering
• Costs of Living Longer

• NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers Planet
  
  IN SPACE - UNSPECIFIED: In this handout illustration made available on December 5, 2011 by NASA, the Kepler-22b, a planet known to comfortably circle in the habitable zone of a sun-like star is digitally illustrated. For the first time NASA's Kepler mission has confirmed a planet to orbit in a star's habitable zone; the region around a star, where liquid water, a requirement for life on Earth, could persist. The planet is 2.4 times the size of Earth, making it the smallest yet found to orbit in the middle of the habit. Clouds could exist in this earth's atmosphere, as the artist's interpretive illustration depicts. (Photo Illustration by Ames/JPL-Caltech/NASA via Getty Images)
• NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers Planet
  
  IN SPACE - UNSPECIFIED: In this handout illustration made available on December 5, 2011 by NASA, a diagram compares our own solar system to Kepler-22, a star system containing the first 'habitable zone' planet discovered by NASA's Kepler mission. The habitable zone is the sweet spot around a star where temperatures are right for water to exist in its liquid form. Liquid water is essential for life on Earth. The diagram displays an artist's rendering of the planet comfortably orbiting within the habitable zone, similar to where Earth circles the sun. Kepler-22b has a yearly orbit of 289 days. The planet is the smallest known to orbit in the middle of the habitable zone of a sun-like star and is about 2.4 times the size of Earth.

  Artist's conception released by NASA of extrasolar planet HD 209458 b, also known as Osiris, orbiting its star in the constellation Pegasus, some 150 light years from Earth's solar system. Scientists have used an infrared spectrum -- the first ever obtained for an extrasolar planet -- to analyze Osiris' atmosphere, which is said to contain dust but no water. The planet's surface temperature is more than 700 Celsius (1330 Fahrenheit).' AFP PHOTO NASA HO (Photo credit should read HO/AFP/Getty Images)
• Artist's impression of a Jupiter-sized planet passing in front of its parent star
  
  SPACE: Picture released 04 October 2006 by the European Space Agency shows an artist's impression of a Jupiter-sized planet passing in front of its parent star. Such events are called transits. When the planet transits the star, the star?s apparent brightness drops by a few percent for a short period. Through this technique, astronomers can use the Hubble Space Telescope to search for planets across the galaxy by measuring periodic changes in a star?s luminosity. The first class of exoplanets found by this technique are the so-called ?hot Jupiters,? which are so close to their stars they complete an orbit within days, or even hours. A seam of stars at the centre of the Milky Way has shown astronomers that an entirely new class of planets closely orbiting distant suns is waiting to be explored, according to a paper published 04 October 2006. An international team of astronomers, using a camera aboard NASA's Hubble telescope, delved into a zone of the Milky Way known as the 'galactic bulge', thus called because it is rich in stars and in the gas and dust which go to make up stars and planets. The finding opens up a new area of investigation for space scientists probing extrasolar planets - planets that orbit stars other than our own. AFP PHOTO NASA/ESA/K.

• The Goldilocks Planet: Glises 581 G
  
  Scientist have found a new potentially habitable planet.
• Imagining Extrasolar Planets
  
  From the Spitzer Science Center. While astronomers have identified over 500 planets around other stars, they're all too small and distant to fill even a single pixel in our most powerful telescopes. That's why science must rely on art to help us imagine these strange new worlds. From Spitzer Space Telescope. Even without pictures of these exoplanets, astronomers have learned many things that can be illustrated in artwork. For instance, measurements of the temperatures of many "Hot Jupiters," massive worlds orbiting very close to their stars, hint that their atmospheres may be as dark as soot, glowing only from their own heat. While "Hot Jupiters" would be relatively dark in visible light, compared to their stars, their brightness is proportionally much greater in the infrared. Illustrating this dramatic contrast change helps explain why the infrared eye of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope plays a key role in studying exoplanets. As our understanding evolves, so must the artwork. Astronomers found a blazing hot spot on the exoplanet Upsilon Andromedae b that at first, appeared to face towards its star. More data has revealed that the hottest area is actually strangely rotated almost 90 degrees away, near the day/night terminator. WASP 12b is as hot as the filament in a light bulb, and would be blazing bright to our eyes. Most interestingly, if it proves to have a strongly elliptical orbit, as first thought, calculations show it would be shedding some of its outer atmosphere ...
