So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom a little over two years ago and it still hurts every minute.
But I think your dad's name on that spacecraft is awesome. I would be honored to have my mom's name on something like that. Take care....

Not quite the same, but it is possible to officially 'name a star' after a loved one. (I did it on-line for my grandparents a number of years ago as a Christmas present (while they were still alive).

just the Milky Way Galaxy. Nothing outside of that can be seen with the human eye.

You can see Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye barely.

The key is not to look directly at the fuzzy thing there but ever so slightly to the side. You'll see Andromeda as a fuzz.

You should get out more. 😉

Even if we don't currently have such a beast in the vicinity, it's early days for nanotech on Earth, and we are probably not the first sentients to sprout in the Cosmos.*

What's his field of academic expertise or is he just a theologist talking about his belief in his God figure ?

I Richards did mention his faith, he'd be in good company - Newton, Galileo.

If Richard Dawkins a biologist can sell popular books on "The God Delusion" a philsopher with an astronomer can talk about "The Privileged Planet."

Isn't Biology a discipline entirely relevant to the concept of Intelligent Design? Or is Theology more relevant?
