  2. Re:What? on Six Minutes of Terror - Landing Humans on Mars · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try jumping into a pool with no water in it...

    Just as the air in your pool is considerably less dense than the water that would normally do the job of stopping you from hitting the bottom, the atmosphere on Mars in considerably less dense than the atmosphere on Earth. A parachute that would bring you to nice easy landing on Earth would bring you to a nice messy landing on Mars. Gliding and flight are trickier for pretty much the same reasons.

    1. Get paid to write code (Mine). 2. Get paid overtime to fix code (Mostly other people's). 3. ??? 4. Profit! In this case "???" consists of a manager asking me politely to comment my code once a year, while simultaneously offering me a nice pay increase. Having said that, the only code that I've come accross that I simply couldn't figure out what was potting was usually my own, and usually as a result of "We told the client this will take a week to develop, but they need it tomorrow. Here's some money, make it so." Hey, if it works and the client is happy, I'm happy.
