Mars - Page 2

genrex · 07-04-2008, 07:32 AM

This is the planet Algon, fifth world in the system of Aldebaran, the Red Giant in the constellation of Sagittarius. Here an ordinary cup of drinking chocolate costs four million pounds, an immersion heater for a hot-water tank costs over six billion pounds, and a pair of split-crotch panties would be almost unobtainable. A simple rear window de-misting device costs eight thousand million billion pounds, and a new element for an electric kettle would cost as much as the gross national product of the United States from 1770 to the year 2000, and even then they wouldn't be able to afford the small fixing ring which attaches it to the kettle.

Of course, everyone wants to know about the split-crotch panties.

Even when technology allows machines that can mimic and exceed human motor skills and even when humans can experience Mars via accurate, immersive telepresence, us earthlings will still spend a lot of time and money trying to put our meat on Mars . . . and beyond.

IMO.

We are alrwady in touch with several alien species.
but due to wide scale panic

we are slowly being taken into this era.

If you dont believe me explain the technology that we have got for

1> Stealth Fighters
2> Mobile Phones
3> The internet
4> The Buggati Veryon
5> Palm sized super Computers
6> FTL travel
7> Wormholes
8> Stargates
9> Phasers
10> Sarah Lee Choclate cakes (why are they so YUMMMY)

TIN foil hat firmly on

I thought I was reading a Redufo post.

The porn industry has that technology just about ready to go.

Mars, it's there....therefore we must go.

It's in our nature.

The way things are going, China will get there first, but with US contractors helping out.

That's funny and not too far from the truth!

That's how.

I understand we want to go...

It is just that in space travel weight is the enemy and the weight of the life support systems alone needed to get to Mars are totally impractical.

That and the chance of anyone surviving the trip are very low, I'm sure people would line up for the mission. Odd that we would sponsor a program where the participants will most certainly die.

I think your being too negative, Scott!

Could I interest you in our new "Vicky V" vagina analog? It's USB based and supported in Windows and OS X.

This isn't quite true....
are you saying that a human cannot survive the trip to Mars? True, there will be substantial muscle loss due to being in micro gravity. NASA has learned a great deal of information about what will happen to the human body. Are we ready for it yet? Not at all. Will it happen in my lifetime? Certainly.

Manifest destiny.

That's why we gotta go.

I think that we will go some day. Isn't our sun scheduled to blow up in several billion years?

You guys are underestimating the radiation problem, outer space is a very inhospitable environment.

And besides that... why?

Manifest destiny? Because it is there? Because we can?

What is the incentive other than to say BTDT?

Vicky never says no!

I could not care less about going to mars.

Mars is a big desolate rock. If we want to go someplace like that we can go to the desert and save billions.
The only people really pushing for mars are the people who will benefit financially from that endeavor.
The moon missions at least had a purpose. Outspend the soviets during the cold war and bankrupt them. It worked, eventually. But what is the purpose of going to Mars? We will not learn anything important, we will not gain anything, all we will do is spend a great deal of money on a modern public works program, a disguised welfare program.
I say forget mars, it's a waste of time and money.

Mars has the same sun as us. if our sun blows up we won't bet any better off on mars

Besides, they say our world will come to an end in December 2012 and i don't think we'll be ready to colonize mars by then.
