Hey, do you know the way to Shell Beach?

*clapclapclap*

I lolled. Well played, sir.

I love you and hate you all at the same time. It's very confusing.

An interesting postulate - take a look at North Korea for comparison. When Kim Jong Il died there was lots of video of a massive public outpouring of grief.

I see what you did there.

I love you so much right now.

untie? Dude I'm not even wearing... wait. what?

I call bullshit. There's no way my wife is that much of a bitch because she's a bitch.

This. Our tortie is 4 now and her older brothers are 15. She beats them recreationally and wont allow them on our bed - where they have slept daily for their entire lives.

No mention one way or the other if this is intended to be a one-way, or return vehicle. Are the mission planners for this thinking about a one-way trip a la "Mars One"?

you are absolutely correct - see Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy (which you likely already have). I think the point of this is not to illustrate everything required for the mission, but just the part that gets the crew from A to B.

I love you.

I love you so much right now.

Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy.

Given all the goings on with the new Mars rover mission my recommendation for outstanding hard-sf reading is Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy. I consider it "hard" as the technology and practices described are grounded in present-day knowledge of space travel and planetary mechanics but he takes the trends those…

I don't understand why when you flip the image on it's side it says "Hello sweetie".

Damn you, sir. I was going to post that. Yes. Quite...

Gotta get laid! Gotta get laid!

I loved that book, though its been 20 years since I read it. The end of the world SHOULD be depressing.
