If she were to describe the 'genesis effect' to me, I'd go nuts. Why can’t I find a girl like Dr. Lisa Randall?

Radion storms from the sun which there is really no protection even in a shipgenetic damge and death. beyond that, then ther is the problems mucle and bone atrophe, then ther is the issue of micro organisms mutating in the ships, On the Mir space station they had problems with mold and fungus eathing the wiring and plactics on the station, Then ther is the speed of light issue, Im not sure we get around the light barrier and forget about hyper space. In the end even if we solve all these problems which is unlikely then the ris the ultimate problem. If you were to find a planet close to earth with life and a breathable atmosphere,the right gravity and everything, you could leave the ship without a space suit, Why because the first breath of air that you tke would be the end of you, alien bacteria and virus which ther is no way you would have any immunity to would kill you,and bacteria and virus from system would most likely decimate the life and eco system of the earth like planet, maybe we would have to terriform lifeless planets but that would not work either, we could transport the required resouces that distance. The thing is we may end up using up all of our resources anyway before would even achieve the barest miniimal of interstellar capabilities. Travel between worlds for a varity of reasons may remain only dream. But I could be wrong.

Why even bother to have someone like her on the show, when she can't even finish a sentence and explain a concept before she's interrupted with some inane blather from the host.

Those interviews are supposed to be a blend of a humor and facts. This is comedy central, not PBS. Uh Steve J, it is a comedy show. Those interviews are supposed to be a blend of a humor and facts.

Have a feeling he and Jon Stewart both have a thing for Trek, due to the number of refernces over the years. Also, Dr. Randall would make a great edition to Trek convention, most probably the yearly one in Las Vegas. Kayla#22- Just 2 or 3 more minutes would make an enormous difference.

Denise de Arman Yeah, his interviews are often with great people, but they seem a bit rushed. I suppose that is just a flaw in the programming itself, but somehow many of the interviews seem to leave something to be desired. I still thought it was neat that he would even have a theoretical physicist on the show! :-D #22. Denise de Arman Yeah, his interviews are often with great people, but they seem a bit rushed.

I was impressed that he shut up a little more with the Big N. the other night. At least he had her on the show.
