What you are saying is: this poop could get dislodged from the moon by an asteroid impact, travel through space, land on another planet, become the organic mater that sparks life there. After millions of years, these poop descendants come back to earth and destroy the planet. Great. Death by poop descendants.

I am going to go back, WAY BACK in time and say: Goldorak and Mazinger Z ... for the 80's kids out there.

Is that a concept Ferrari? or an actual model? I cannot tell. Clues? Anyone?

Would be indeed. I also think it wouldn't be long before we had inter planetary war as well. One planet would accuse the other of loitering in their direction. Interplanetary Illegal immigration. Illegal resource harvesting (rogue companies flying over to the other planet to illegally obtain rare resources in). There…

That statement was enlightening (and I am not being facetious at all). I like that. "The best camera in the world, is the one you have with you". There are few statements in life that are true, powerful and beautifully simple. This is one of them. Another one is " measure twice, cut once". This is particularly true…

Here is another sci-fi departure on this:

i like where you are going with it. Moar.

Wake up. This is my SciFi enduced stories based on what is happening with Voyager. Your sci-fi and reality radar is not working. I suggest reboot.

What if one day VOYAGER's signal simply .... drops ... and a week later ... pops up again ... from the vicinity of ... JUPITER.

Is this from Star Trek? VTGR and the hot looking bald Robot Kirk falls for?

Don't we display non functioning gill slits during our embryonic development? (thus they were useful as some point and now are not).

Awwwe GODDAMIT! I already dug a bunker in backyard and stocked it with canned food, dehydrated packaged goods, water and solar panels. Now you are telling me "black goo in metallic jars" were not found?

it will be one of these choices in my humble opinion:

they found liquid black goo on the surface. sending it back to earth in an urn type of vessel.

By your same argument, artists should just stop using oil colors/watercolors/pastels/pencils and numerous other forms of painting to create art and just cut to the chase and take a picture.

fahamtak. shokran.

You got the gist of it not bad at all: Announcer starts by saying this is a zionist drone it was shot down by the mujahedeen (freedom fighters context) and that it has the best tech given to the Zionists by the Americans and that the mujahedeen shot it down with their blessed hands and enlightened minds with gods…

Thanks for that clarification. And yes, the moral/ethical debate is a whole other beast.

So someone with dwarfism who has had gene therapy to counter the hormone deficiency would not begin to grow to normal stature correct?

It is a vicious cycle: Few of us (scientists and industrialists) brilliantly create new "things" to make our life easier, which in turn makes the masses that consume these "things" less intelligent.
