How would a 'drive-thru' work up there?

Well DUH... it's completely obvious.

It would be a 'fly-thru'

It's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of space exploration, however interesting it is - mankind would only start boogering up other planets and spread misery and chaos throughout the universe. IMHO we need to straighten out the mess we've made here on Earth, first!

Good points there mandy but in all honesty, if I ever got the chance to go to space, I'd be off like a flash.

*FLAaasssssSH! AAAAaaaaaaaaAAAA... saviour of the Universe* .. sorry, momentary lapse there

ALL my childhood I wanted to be an astronaut. So much so, I used to do endless projects and reviews on the subject, which where nothing to do with school. Did them completely in my own time and loved every minute of it. Back then, I guess I was a bit of geeky child.

Don't know exactly when it all started to go 'wrong' because by the time I was half way through senior school, that had all changed quite dramatically

I still have one of those projects as it goes... very nostalgic feelings from things like that. I like it.

we are constantly fighting entropy and nature here. we always need to repair, rebuild, refuel. then we just spread out some more. lawn mowers.. how weird is that? its just odd when i think about it. if we slacked off for a moment, the earth would over run us. vermin, weeds, diseases, floods... think about it, how we have to pour all our energy into maintaining this charade. we're so spoiled. like some high class bitches worrying about breaking a nail. i think thats a conspiracy everyone is in on since we stopped living in caves.. civilization. just taking over, making things easy. bending the world to what we want. architecture as beauty vs. a flower.. i think the flower should win.
but then i appreciate that we're smart. we figured all this shit out. and why shouldn't we?
i dont know how it could have been, or should have been or will be. but this is what we have.

Well I didn't indulge in any of those whilst at school, so reckon again

Actually, when I think about for a minute, I realise it was family that put a spanner in the works. Back to the old cliche I guess... you can't pick your family... sadly

I can understand your feelings, psketti - there's certainly something very exciting and romantic about space travel, and I love a good sci-fi film!

This could very well be true and definaitely an angle they should have covered down to the last detail. If I was an alien, I'd have it sussed.


They should start by frying Mr Googles arse on live TV via the launch day.

Well, about the aliens being smart enough to forsee our need to be parasitic throughout the Universe as well as here, bit.

Obviously, the frying part was a pisstake

God you're touchy today
