Russia Plans Martian Nuclear Station
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports that Russian scientists have announced plans to build a nuclear power station on Mars.
They say that all the necessary technical drawings have now been completed, and all will be ready for the construction work to begin. The power plant should be up and running by 2030."
Nuclear powers YOU! (Had to be done.)
In Soviet Russia, Nuclear Stations plan THE MARTIANS!!
In Soviet Russia, Mars builds nuclear power plants on YOU!
Spelling - it's amazing you didn't misspell ALL of the words in your post.
Man DESTROYS radiation... Couldn't resist seriously..
Yeah, except the environmentalist don't protest much other than here in the US. Whether it is ecology issues, racism, sexism or peace marches, most of the action is here in the USA where well-to-do clueless college kids are in abundance. I used to think this was mainly due to Communist repression of dissent, but I'm beginning to think it has more to do with how much spare time some of these people have on their hands.
The good news about this, as well as the recent announcements by China and India is that the world will not depend on NASA for future benefits from space research (Tang anyone?). Our own space programs will probably benefit greatly (after we get over the shock) from other countries orbiting earth, going to the moon and beyond without our help. I can gripe all I want about how we have been held back by the costs of the Shuttle program, but it's hard to demonstrate the benefits of a path not taken. Now we will be able to see for real the outcomes of alternative strategies. Maybe they will fail and make the Shuttle look good by comparison, but I doubt it.
It is about time mankind gets out of low-earth-orbit, either by giving up on space altogether or by going back to the moon and beyond where more interesting things can be accomplished.
nuclear plants power you!
Okay folks!
Brian and Kelvin just finished up their honeymoon.

This is the motherfucking reality of so-called 'gay sex' and same-sex 'mariage'. Filthy rectum-splitting sex with feces. That's a basis for mariage and 'human rights'? My dog stopped doing that after a few weeks, and it has a brain the size of a potato. But filthy butt-fags can ram shit up each other's intestines and they get parades?
No, but I've got karma to burn so this might
I want a new world. I think this one is broken.
Judging by your post and your sig, I'd say you are nothing more than a bed-wetting hand-wringing liberal snot. Get lost, we dont want you here, punk. You dig?
Nuclear power plants build humans!
paintball
... MARS plans nuclear plants on YOU!
GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
NO, what is funny is that they're really shitty with their submarines, fighter planes (don't go anywhere NEAR an airshow when the commies are about), cars (have you seen their cars)...look at chernobyl...and now they want to build one on Mars? Puh-leaze!
Perhaps they should master growing potatoes so their people don't have to queue (or starve) first, yeah?
And I take it they won't be requiring aid from the west now they can afford to send people to Mars, or am i missing something?
Wow, I too was thinking of building a nuclear power plant on mars.
And, just like Russia, I'M TOO FSCKING POOR TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN FEED MYSELF!
But it's nice to dream.
There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell 'em.
Martians: Someone setup us the bomb!
