Bezos has a car in orbit lol.....the Tesla Roadster. NASA has a machine there to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. Mars' atmosphere is very much like what Earth's was when life first started here. Actually Mars and Earth started out with very similar conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk put the Roadster in orbit, you probably already knew that and that's a Freudian typo but just saying look my Serious Opinion About Mars (lol) is that if the private investments yield technology that enable us to deal with the kind of engineering problems that are coming up in the next 30 years, well that's great. but otherwise what the f are these people trying to do. there isn't going to be a civilization there. the kind of work necessary pales in comparison to making Earth some kind of environmental paradise and nobody's doing that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like that Gen Z has taken off the climate change fight. The old people failed and they just need to step aside and let the people who will spend the most time on the planet make the decisions. and yes Musk lol I still have problems saying Musk without thinking of an Ox. https://twitter.com/i/events/1424870797668196358 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It's funny how they think Mars is the answer. Solving climate change on Earth is infinitely easier than building a Martian civilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyrangers1022 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Buying a new car is a pain in today's times. Looking for a 4cyl AWD small suv or sedan. Something that's good on gas. I have a 2014 explorer with 66k miles that I will probably give my wife. I test drove a Kia Seltos, but they are in such high demand people buy them online while they are in transit to the dealership. These people are paying a few grand over MSRP. I refuse to. Also looking at the 2022 Subaru Legacy. Going to test drive one Saturday. Looks like my only option is to test drive, then look online and get lucky to be the first to click to buy on a model and options I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will - Rutgers Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 lightning is so badass, basically the only thing i look forward to is more lightning. imagine seeing a bolt of forked electricity go miles through the sky and not thinking that's the coolest thing you ever saw in your entire life. not only that, it can happen over and over again, sometimes for hours. just hours of clouds shooting electricity and beating the shit out of everything in their way. trees, golfers, spotted lanternflies, fish just hanging out in the ocean. just stupid playthings getting endlessly electrocuted for the crime of being outside at the wrong time. every time i see a CTG bolt i think, that must've struck something on the ground, and i wonder what the hell that was.

I don't remember ever riding on a trolly...I was seven in 56...they did have them on 69 ST which was close to my block...I lived in Wellsville NY in 1953...I have some faint memories of then especially the snow... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
