With abundent Rapamycin it’s no wonder the Easter Islanders have stood there for so long staring blankly off into space. Now if they can just find a good dematologist.

That Mt. Redoubt gallery is astonishing, thanks very much for sharing that with use, Kayla

I now plant my flag as a founding member of the Official Kayla Iacovino Fan Club. }:-D>

The Spherical Robot reminds me of the Zeroids from The Terrahawks.

Imagine if Ripley had been riding inside something like that when she fought off the Alien Queen! Couldn’t get near her, and add some gun turrets…

That spherical robot invokes feelings of sympathy. It looks aimless.

@ #19 – I certainly meant no offense to anyone on the Mars Polar Lander mission. I’m sure it was a devasting loss to those that worked on it, as well as a scientific tragedy to all.

But if what you are saying about the culture of Lockheed Martian and NASA is true, then they really need to re-evaluate their policies and somehow make allowances for anonymous tips and/or whistle blowing. Sure everyone makes mistakes, and Lockheed Martian and NASA are no exception, but I had thought that they had learned their lessons from the shuttle disasters by now!

and #18 Many people have the feeling the World will end, and they love to blame it on physical objects, few hall the balls and blame people.

The truth is that one day the World will end, and how it will end for any individual is by their death, and every human we know will some day die. The World ends when you stop living in it. It does not matter how it will end. What matters is one day it will end, thus making future human birth on Earth much harder if not impossible.

That’s why we need to get of this blue rock and start humanity every where we can. Currently we are planning to test the waters of the Moon in hope to reach Mars. We will still have training wheels on our ships that leave Sol. Hopefully in a few Centuries we can look like the Federation.
