Summary:

Outer Space: Hi, I’m Outer Space. My question is, besides dark matter and dark energy, is there any possibility there’s anything else in outer space?

Anonymous: Hello, this is Anonymous. I would like to know, since I heard about the new program for bringing life to Mars, I wonder if the big storm forming around Mars will have any conflict with the human development on Mars.

Rocks: Rocks here, what are the possibilities that white holes are really out there?

Santa’s Little Helper: Hi, this is Santa’s Little Helper, I was wondering if we’re at all close to finding intelligent life in outer space.

Star: Hi, this is Star. My question is, if a planet were located near a black hole, what would happen to it?

Sleepy: Hi this is Sleepy. Theoretically, if you have a white hole and a black hole next to each other, what would happen?

Leather Jacket: Hi, this is Leather Jacket. What are the goals of the International Space Station?

Major Tom: This is Major Tom from Ground Control. I’m asking about the manned exploration to Mars. I want to know what you think about it, and I also want to know if you think we will benefit from it and how.

Doctor Love: Hello, this is Doctor Love. I want to know the difference between a red supergiant and a blue supergiant.
