Depends a lot on the camera and position of it. It will definitely be an improvement from the last two flights I've been on. A virtual window view would likely be totally unobstructed, and of significantly higher detail than I'm used to looking out a crummy porthole.
Is that from the beginning, I always considered it to be a place to go to experience discussions that I just could not have with my "real" circle of friends and peers. It made me feel like I "belonged" somewhere. Thank you CmdrTaco. I agree with a fellow poster, an excellent read.
I saw a show on Spirit and Opportunity's trek a few nights back. Pretty amazing couple of machines. I was very impressed. When they brought up the topic of their panels' susceptibility to dust and dust storms, I was wondering why no one had thought to install a couple of panel sweepers or something (like windshield wipers)?
All in all, these two little guys have done pretty well.
Hey, if you're drowning in 80 m of seawater, or drowning in 3800 m of seawater; I'd bet you wouldn't care of the difference. A lotta water is a lotta water. Just like a/.'er to nitpick over a mere 97.9% difference. Sheesh. The point was: The whole planet would be covered in water! Suspend some disbelief and think: "That's pretty cool!"
Oh, and close the door to within 0.016th of an inch of the wall on your way out.
To follow this. What IS the purpose of clothing? I can see the purpose of loincloths. They protect against gettin' hit by lots of things! haha But, "pants" "trousers" and "blouses" (or whatever all you Europeans call them)...
Why?
In my culture. We shed our clothing when we participate in our traditional rituals; including ceremonies where we sit together in groups and sing songs, take sweat baths (super hot saunas), and make protection prayers upon one another.
I for one... ( and this is not one of those "I for one" jokes) I for one... would like to know how some of these anthropolegic (sp?) theories came to be. Please. If anyone cares to comment.. Please be willing to take a 140+ degree Navajo sweat bath.

Hey now, I resemble that remark!

You're probably also thinking of getting robotic legs too, though you hear it's a pretty risky operation.
We've found the Arachnids!
I'll welcome Kari Traa anyday!

The funny thing is... most those comments were modded "Insightful"!!!

Slashdot... there really needs to be a "No shit!" mod. Just for those times when you really wanna agree and say, "No SHIT!"

The words "NASA confident that..." just don't make me feel all warm and fuzzy anymore.
Unless of course, those words are followed by, "...they're not quite sure what's going to happen."
