She's going to die on Earth, along with each and every other one of the people who signed up.

They may believe it is going to happen, but it isn't going to happen. It's easy for all of these people to say how committed they are, but wait until the time comes for them to strap on the rocket and actually do it. Except that none of these people who signed up will ever leave Earth.

Please don't lose any sleep thinking any human will ever get to Mars, let alone die there, any time soon.

As mentioned above, even tanks used to be air-dropped:

Actually, that would be the Air Force dropping these.

Me too! Those glowing pieces were fun.

There's nothing tackier than people putting stickers of brand names on their ride. If a company wants to pay me for advertising it with a decal on my ride, fine. Otherwise, keep that crap off the car. I can't even tolerate dealer decals and plate frames.

Sprinklers help quite a lot:

Many dash lights are just incomprehensible symbols to a lot of people. Who reads the manual to be familiar with them before they light up? I've said it before and I'll say it again, many of these symbols should be simple text labels, especially now that many cars have a LCD grid somewhere in the dash.

Now, post one of Brett.

As soon as I can get the funds for it, I'm swapping out the all-red lights on my MINI for the Euro-spec ones that have the amber turn indicators.
