Leporidus says "Holy haleakala, Phil -- have you seen this one? (Bad URL Here) -- it's "Phoenix against Heimdall crater as it lands" as described by Emily Lakdawalla!"new URL is planetary . org/blog/article/00001547/ This one explains how the instrument captured the image noting causes of (photographic) artifacts in the image.

"Just because it's in space, a long way away, doesn't mean it's in a new direction. What about deep sea exploration?"We've already mapped the sea floor, already sent subs as deep as we can, and already know there's life down there. That translates into a big "so what?"Finding life on another planet however, has far more exciting scientific, philosophical, and ethical avenues of discovery.

"GPS over my head? Is that a joke?"Well why did you need someone else to bring it up? Its common technology used by police, firefighters, and ambulances everyday, not to mention totally available to the average joe. Since you didnt bring it up even though it was the obvious answer, you obviously didnt know about it, or were too busy fear-mongering to look it up.

"As I predicted, you can't help being hostile"As opposed to your digging up a dead and buried argument from MONTHS AGO? And blabbing away in utter anger as if everyone was hoping on baited breath to start the argument all over?Dude, its been MONTHS. Its over with and done. Responding this late only points out your own fanaticism with starting arguments whereever you can.

You mean, 'fomenting', btw.

As I predicted, you can't help being hostile. God help the Martians when you get there.

I invite you, without the rancour you seem to wish to provoke, to list these inventions. GPS over my head? Is that a joke? What a boon it has been to the military, however. And let's hope Virgin Mars bring their prices down really soon.

That wasn't its goal. Rather, I think part of its goal is to make homo sapien a better species. At least to give them more knowledge of their universe. |
