  1. It would be my pleasure to be resident birdy as long as there are no official duties or formal trasferrals of power of any sort.

    Power makes me break out in hives and I'm generally a lazy sort.

    I do like making pamcake though. :P
  2. Correct Yankeedave

    Dyson's son wrote a book by the same name on it. Project Orion. Give it a looksee when you get a chance.


    Smurch's first comment reminded me of 'The Doctor Dance's from Dr. Who.

    Rose Tyler: Are the words 'distract the guard' heading in my general direction?
    The Doctor: I don't think that's such a good idea.
    Rose Tyler: Don't worry. I can handle it.
    Captain Jack Harkness: I've gotten to know Algy quite well since I've been in town. Trust me, you're not his type. I'll distract him. Don't wait up.
    The Doctor: Relax. He's a fifty-first century guy. He's just a bit more flexible when it comes to 'dancing'.
    Rose Tyler: How flexible?
    The Doctor: Well, by his time, you lot are spread out across half the galaxy.
    Rose Tyler: Meaning?
    The Doctor: So many species, so little time.
    Rose Tyler: What, that's what we do when we get out there? That's our mission? We seek new life and...
    [weakly]
    Rose Tyler: and...
    The Doctor: [nodding] Dance.
  3. Nono. No queen for me. I'm just an oddbird whose happy to hang around. And jewels make me itchy.

  4. I say we work on providing space capable bodies.
    Maybe something with a titanium framework, or a crystalline structure.

    I mean either bring our environment with us/adapt to our environment/ or modify the environment to suit us and since the last aint happening and the first is expensive....that leaves the second option.

    That's just the odd bird in me talking, I could be wrong. :P
  5. I can agree most wholeheartly with that.

    Different spines and a different hammer for earth instead of the poo-onna-stick that is there now. Maybe something which looks like smooth carved molten lava?
  6. Morning Capn and PB!

    Why the sidelong face Capn?

    Quite right Commander gumption, moxie and knowhow of the physics and engineering stuffs.
  8. I give you One million dollars for the lulz for that video and the comments on youtube to it. I again point to clavius in rebuttal. :P

    And actually the Challenger disaster was in 1986 so was only 16 years after landing on the moon.

    A lot of the rationale and at least one good drubbing of the Space Shuttle program is by Bruce R. Murray who was head of JPL for many years, wrote a book called 'Journey into Space'. He was not a fan of the Shuttle program for numerous reasons mostly as it took away resources from other missions like the ones which sent men to the moon anmd also from other unmanned missions which were required to use the shuttle in order to justify its existence even though perfectly good Atlas rockets were available.
  9. Sounds like good fun foxy! Dire Badgers! Those things are ebil!

  15. Yah Detra. Today is 40th anniversary of moon landing. Neil and Buzz bouncing around in the fine flour like dust on the moon.

    I would have to say in all the world there are few people I truly envy but Apollo astronauts are in that group.


    Grats on the game Foxy, good luck on the 4th edition run. What level were you one or two shotting things? lowbies? Cause that's ok.

    I almost killed my whole team last time I ran with dire bats. They wouldn't leave them alone and when they got atacked they wouldn't leave. Half the group had fallen before they figured it out. :P
