@KirkyX: Do your parents know you use language like that youngster!

@DigThatFunk: Between the Heart, Liver, Arthritis and Brain medicine and the other drugs to counter the side effects of Heart, Liver, Arthritis and Brain medicine, we'll all be Junkies. Just not the sort you expect.

@krome: Not with a 2 Bazillion dollar air craft, that's for sure

@Dominus Astra: I didn't mind the first one. Although I will agree that the series gets better as it builds on it.

@hangingfire: And also empathic and technically, a sentient alien that only looks like a feline (once you get past the six limbs).

@Maave: Yeah usually when you're trying to sleep. I'm all for screamers, but cats just take it too far.

@Grive: I'm concerned what this wussyfication is doing to the nation.

That guy looks a lot like a guy I used to work with. He is also the kind of insane-genius Darwin-award potentiate that would totally build a jet powered lawn mower. Bonus he's already legally deaf and probably wouldn't think to wear hearing protection either.

@glwtta: Pfft! Sir Isaac was from England. Even today, despite the very best efforts of Hollywood to teach them proper American, you don't need to ride your horse for much more than half a day to find people speaking a mutually unintelligible dialect.

Geeze. The reporting on Giz has turned to crap today.

@glwtta: That ain't no excuse for poor grammar!

@crosis101: There has to be some obvious for someone who works in the field reason why it wasnt mentioned. Too close to the star maybe?

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: Yeah but they have about forth fifths of one percent of the USoA's influence on what happens on the English language Web.

@iScuba: It's comforting to think that there is some higher meaning to the chaos, but "It is so because the flying spaghetti monster willed it be so" is not a theory - it provides no answers and can not be proven or disproven.

I prefer to think of it as the Hoth Base was designed to look like stations in the Arctic and Antarctic. Satellite Antennas and Radomes have been around for a long time. In some ways its actually kind of more exciting to realise that the science fiction was based on fact.
