it on WHAT THE FUCK?! |

I would die a happy man if we could get a well documented human led mars landing mission within my lifetime. |

GOD that would be so FUCKING COOL! But seriously, as it says in the article, the snow is evaporated long before it hits the ground, but this just goes to show how little we really know about the universe around us. I mean, this is the closest planet to us, a planet which has been so often depicted as a barren desert landscape, and IT FUCKING SNOWS THERE! Who could have ever guessed that? And how far off are we about well... everything else? |

presently it would take 9 years to get there and back, thats if they would do a u turn upon arrival. the only reason they don't do it is money |

we desperately need a new energy source and some interstellar travel mechanism to go with it |

well we've known mars had ice for some years now, so snow isn't that far off. But it's still a cool idea when you think about it; snow on an alien world.... it also said in that article they want to record mars-sounds. Alien sounds. Sweet. I'll fire up the samplers for THAT shit. |

We need a geek to be president already. Someone who will reinvigorate the space program, legalize stem cell research, eradicate all copies of any Star Wars film post-Jedi, and demand funding for Joss Wheedon to create more Firefly episodes. |

Not to mention matter replicators and transporter beams. Also a... Federation... of sorts. |

What, you think the US military isn't already at work on these things? Hell, they're only a few years away from a visual cloak. And a Federation...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know... a sort of... United Federation... of Planets... and we could have a sort of... fleet? Yes, a Starfleet... ;p |

(all of my hopes for the future are based on Star Trek, and I mean that honestly.) |

the Federation.. the Future of humanity.. |
||||||||
|

|
the future is never quite like predicted.. always some stuff is different i think, but it should be damn cool anyway |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it won't be untill April 5, 2063 at 11:15 AM when Cochrane will make Earth's first warp flight. or at least thats how it happend in star trek |
||||||||

actually historically science fiction has been the most accurate predictor of future advances in technology. take the entire catalog of jules vern's works for instance. hell, star trek voyager includes "cutting edge technology" in the way of bioneural circuitry, which we aren't too far off from either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the in ear copular device actually transmits to implanted stuff in your ear. also jules vern is a great author |
||||||||

what i mean is you can't predict a black swan.. and there will be many black swans in the future that will change things around a lot. some things you can expect because people have been working on it and science fiction authors take ideas from current developments, but truly one can never predict exactly what its gonna be.. |
||||||||

|
|
Okay, agreed. |
||||||||
|
|

Holyfuck are a very good band. |

i like the black swan theory btw, i've never heard it called that before. |
