    There was a complete GI Joe USS Flagg including box in an abandoned locker on US tv show Storage Wars. What a find.

    For the past two weeks, I've been reading and watching videos about space exploration. I'm beginning to think a manned mission to Mars may not happen. The amount of fuel it'll require for a round trip is a bit alarming. A NASA spacecraft or Space X's Starship will need to land on Mars with empty tanks. For a return trip, can't they place a fuel station in Mars's orbit? They can dock in orbit to refuel. I know it sounds like science fiction. Forgive me.

    Sometimes I wonder what has happened or become of the people I have known in my life.

    They are already testing methods of creating the fuel they need on the Martian surface. This is a known issue, and there are a lot of people working on the solution to it. If I remember correctly, there was a mock-up of a "making fuel" experiment on one of the last probes sent to the Mars. It was super small scale, and barely a proof of concept, but hey, progress is progress when it comes to this type of thing.

    I do think humans will eventually walk on Mars. I don't believe any of the timelines we've been given so far will be hit. I'd much more think we'll get there fifteen to twenty years past what the most excited proponents are currently projecting. It's a hard big problem with a TON of hard small problems to solve before we get there. Not the least of which is our current risk-adverse public discourse over space travel by humans for any reason.

    Good post. NASA will need more funding to complete their objective. $26 billion a year won't cut it.

    I used to watch MLP so much, basically watched the entire show.
    Confessions of an Embarassed Bronie

    Also, I really hate people watching me or recording me while I'm asleep. I should make that clear some time into a relationship.

    I watch MLP: FIM and MLP: PL and I’m not ashamed of it but no way in hell am I one of those batshit crazies that do questionable activities.

    I always feel like somebody’s watching me
    who’s playing tricks on me

    In case y'all haven't noticed, YouTube has gotten rid of the option to skip ads when you get a double. Now instead of SKIP AD the first ad leads you immediately to the second ad. Only there can you skip.

    They're trying really hard to shoo us away from their site, huh.

    One of the free-to-air tv channel is showing the Jaws movie trilogy. One movie per week with Jaws 2 this coming week. It so happens a teenage girl got mauled & killed by a shark this weekend.

    ...And Justice For All (the song, not the album) is good, but it'd be better if either it was a little shorter or if it had more elements to it. Some of the riffs in it go on for a little too long for their own good in my opinion.

    Sounds like a big job. Do be careful. I hear about people falling off of the roof or ladder too many times.
