Sad point is that if there is a treasure, and the drill bit broke into it, any written records in there are long rotten by now.

Likewise for me.

No one's going much of anywhere in space until we have an elevator. The first 200 miles with chemical rockets is too finicky. What we need is cheap heavy-lift capability. We do have the technology to build a spacecraft capable of taking humans around the solar system. The problem is getting all the materials up…

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Xenomorph from Alien is an AI bioweapon - so it didn't evolve by chance - and thus doesn't need to "reproduce" per se. I'm guessing that the eggs can sit indefinitely waiting for a living thing to come by. Then its "DNA" merely holds onto the "DNA" from the host organism…

All nice, but "Post Apocalyptic Deforestation", those people would be on the ground in the amount of time it takes for an atomic mushroom cloud to develop to that point.

My wife's the same way you are. Though it would make sense logically to trade I must politely refuse - my wife makes the greatest Chicken and Dumplings known to man. :D

I never have any problem falling asleep. I lay down, I relax, sleep comes more often than not.

Thanks for warning us. :)

You're a blunder, blunder woman!

Yet another movie I'll wait until it's out on video.

Looked nice. VERY nice. Hard to follow what he's talking about. Seems this is a film where the visual presentation is more important than the actual story. Not enough background info - or if there is it goes by too fast to understand.

I watched this movie over and over again as a kid.

That's from this board game, which was a lot of fun to play. [boardgamegeek.com]

Materials are free - grab any asteroid anywhere. Strip an unused planet. Workforce? They have clones, and the hiring and contracting will be simple:

What- YOUR babies can't fly?

Point taken.

imagine if Star Trek: Voyager had ended with the Voyager being flung even further out into space, to someplace the ship could never get home from.

So you're saying you are lacking in imagination to write any?

Anything's an improvement over Costner's.

In your face, you prudes who say that old times didn't have humor and attitudes just like ours.
