"Houston, firing retros for re-entry"........

We've got a red-light! Thruster number 2 has not shut off, we're going into a flat spin....

Sorry for my absence over the past few months. Work (and an unexpectedly resurgent social life) have eaten up large gobs of my time.

But in any case...

Since the bunch of us are sci-fi geeks (playing Freespace and all), I wonder what everyone here thinks about the prospect of colonizing Mars, the moon, and other places in the solar system in the near-term.

I don't think we've met. *waving* Nice to meet you

Careful - he's mad and he has a bomb!

Trust you to turn it into sex

Hehehehe, my reputation precedes me...

I for one think it would be rather more difficult to fight someone in a 0G environment. You could punch and hit, but each blow could send you flying into a spin yourself...

How about Petrarch in space? Discuss and/or worry..

Petrarch?
Wasn't he an Italian poet...? (at least according to my online dictionary)

I think I just saw a shooting star. So much for Petrarch.

It was the drag-factor from the fez that did it....,

Careful - he's mad and he has a bomb!

Is he? *I'm scared*

Very funny, maybe you can play "spray and catch" in space
