"Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe." - Dan Quayle

Very good idea. I also think politicians should wear ad patches like racing drivers the way Bill Maher suggested.

Donna got hold of this fax that was sent to the press office from the OSF at NASA.
What, something falling out of the sky?
Yeah.
We get that fax once a week.
Yeah, but Donna doesn't know that. She thinks it's an emergency.
And you didn't want to tell her?
No, 'cause the other way you get a day's worth of entertainment without leaving the office.
She doesn't know that these things fall out of the sky all the time... once every ten days, as a matter of fact. Since the first year we started putting manmade objects in space 17 000 have come back, and remarkably not one person has been hit.
So I suppose there's an argument to be made that we're due.
Yeah.
4 How do you want to find out about space mission results?
Please indicate in what ways you currently receive news and information about U.S. space exploration activities. - https://planetary.org/survey/
The question and instructions are not the same. I would like to find out about space exploration from lectures by scientists, but don't. I currently receive my space news from astronomy mailing lists.
I chose to answer how I'd like to get that info, as that was what the question in big bold header text was, and what I understand the survey is about.
PS: I have no problem rating the most important thing a 1, and least important 10.
Writer Darin Morgan's (Eddie van Blundht in 420 Small potatoes aka Luke Skywalker, with a tail) episodes were the best. My favourite two: 220 Humbug (freak town) and 312 War of the coprophages (cockroaches). He also did the demons having coffee episode in Millenium: 221 Somehow, Satan got behind me.
...nor may you use the Product to create a product or operate a service that is generally competitive with the Product or any other Borland product offerings, including any general-purpose software development tool... -

Erm, so I have to buy another company's dev tools to rewrite my METAble utility which is a replacement for the "Borland database explorer/ Borland database desktop" apps, so I can continue easily writing database apps with Borland dev tools?
which every 200 million years orbits the center of the Galaxy,
which every 150 billion years or so orbits the center of the Local Group,
which every few trillion years orbits the center of the Virgo supercluster.
I suppose those last two are somewhat optimistic predictions

These Terrans sure know how to make watches: I can return it if it doesn't last 200 million Terran years.
what's the big to-do about genetically modified foods? It's not a new science, merely a new approach to an ancient art.
"I see worries in the fact that we have the power to manipulate genes in ways that would be improbable or impossible through conventional evolution. We should not be complacent in thinking that we can predict the results." - Colin Blakemore
"If we win the battle with nature we will find ourselves on the losing side." - EF Schumacher
"Maybe, but they certainly don't cite convincing sources... that means about 90% of the research space, and presumably the budget, came from the US." - Cato the Elder
"Draws significant financial support from the partner nations, which will collectively add more than $10 billion to the U.S. contribution." - ISS factbook 1999-07
This will not be a laughing matter in five years. The 2600 DeCSS linking case ruled it is illegal to even link to illegal sites. It's only a matter of time before KPMG's attitudes become de facto.

I modified the gift exemption voucher saying that the people I give it to don't have to give me anything for xmas or my birthday. I still give them gifts, until they reciprocate with a similar voucher - only 1 person so far - and what I do now is buy stuff throughout the year when I see something I know she might appreciate, which means I'm buying her more presents now:)
Your charity idea is worth considering tho.

I thought "oceanic crust preserved in the southern Tibetan plateau" and Antarctica previously being nearer the equator and moving south was due to plate tectonics; but what do I know - I'm a wacko who thinks destroying our only habitat for short term financial gain is insane, and that 7th generational thinking is a good thing...
