To combat global warming and polution we need to breed out of the human race the

I think video would be another good choice. Moving pictures, with sound? Far beyond the Roman experience in any way.

For beginners, I recommend using the Konami code.

Yes, it does make it more likely to have occurred in the past, because “the past” is a larger frame of time, so whatever the underlying conditions are, they are more likely to have occurred in time frame A than B if A is several orders of magnitude larger.

We know the chance of life elsewhere is greater than zero. We do not know what form that life takes. How long it may or may not have existed. Or anything else for that matter. Or how probable anything other than > 0 is.

You’re thinking that this million years is the last million if someone was looking our way. However, when you select something randomly, it’s far more likely to be in the middle part than the end or the beginning. If someone looks this way in a million years, or a billion, what will they see?

Also, why would an advanced civilization even need to harness all the energy from their galaxy’ suns. Maybe they are really efficient. And even if they weren’t. If they developed intersteller travel and are colonizing other planets, they only need enough energy for each colony plannet. There could be thousands of them…

It weakens the point quite a bit.

Well, obviously the cake is a lie.

There are only two robotic solutions to overpopulation: killer robots or sex robots. I say we go with the sex robots.

It’s like raaaaaaaeeeeeeaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnn....

Yeah ... this is like the fifth “Soyuz replacement” that’s been floated in the past 20 years (anyone remember the glorious Clipper from not-too-long ago?

The real irony of this whole fiasco is that if you were to travel back in time and tell 1960’s America that in the 21st century, American astronauts would have to rely on ancient, old RUSSIAN rockets to get to space, it would flip out, steal your time machine so it go into the future to kick the royal ass of 21st…

They aren’t allowed to. The best they can do is be extremely popular so that we’ll lobby on their behalf.

PS: I love you, NASA.

I can’t wait for this bullshit to get even more popular and start seeing headlines like “Soylent acquires Bulletproof Coffee for $20 gazillion!”

“because it’s there” is exactly the point of manned exploration. Staring at the stars and dreaming of visiting another world is, for me, the core of our existence.

Because it is producing a measurable thrust.

You really shouldn’t say “far too easy” and then be wrong. #38 is his son. Since “my father’s son” is “me”, you can read it as “this man’s father is me”, so “this man” is my son.

In the second case, wouldn’t it be a picture of his father?
