Re: Elon Musk & the Mission to Mars
Unless Elon Musk provides a rocket trip back home to Earth The rockets are supposedly coming back. I figure what'll end up happening is average people will get hired for something like two year terms. Go up, run machines or whatever, come back if you're not down (or get fired), or sign up for anoth...

Re: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species
I doubt forever will catch on, especially at first. More likely something along the lines of two year terms. It'll totally end up on TV though. Who’s choosing to stay, who’s getting voted off, etc.

Re: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species
If there are people who bring boats and planes to build at a desert campout, I'm sure there are people willing to build martian habitats large enough to burn the man in.

Re: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species
Air? Crews have been breathing in space aboard the ISS for almost sixteen years. Submariners lurking about with their nuclear weapons don’t seem to mind providing their own air at all. I’m curious to see the effects (if any) of martian micro-gravity on the human body and the radiation found beyond l...

There are a pile of drugs in the "2C" family, and they all pretty much kick ass.

You'd never see this happen in another city like Mountain View or Sacramento!
When the Sacramento Bee starts writing about the benifits of recreational drug use, then you can compare it to Black Rock City.

Screw the panels, just hook it up to your car. Don't overcharge! Halfway through the week hook it up for an hour & see what that gets you. Adjust accordingly.

Read the map the greeters give you. The shaded areas are off limits.
