agreed, but then I'm sure weirder things have happened in this beuracracy. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is the IRS getting Al Capone for tax evasion.
no one consumed ddt, cfc, cane toads or asbestos either... I for one don't like the idea that we're messing around and marketing something that we don't really understand.
you're right, but I'd consider this a good start. We still don't know the consequences of what we're putting out there and it wouldn't be the first time if/when we get screwed by it (ddt, cane toads, carp, etc).
umm... how was Tarzan (bastardized and dumbed down series by Edgar Rice Burroughs) , Hecules (bastardized and dumbed down Greek/Roman legends), or Emperor's New Groove (bastardized and disneyfied collection of a few stories and fables) original? They were pretty... I liked the acting... but they could have been better. I agree though. The only worse shame is the god damn sequels!
welcome to seventeen-ninety-something; for those of you who don't get the reference, thats when the United States had the Alien and Sedition acts. Oh well, November 2, 2004 will be a day for you to remember if you really feel this way...
This isn't a fashion show; this is a scientific institution placed by a (in theory) trustworthy goverment. They're is little reason for me to expect a supermodel-style touchup from NASA (in a perfect world, of course).
They should place notices for the specific purpose of avoiding bad PR. The people they serve don't like to be lied to. I'm sure the general public would love to see what mars really looks like, rather than some lie.
If something went wrong, I'd rather have it happen on an isolated island than in the middle of um.... Europe. The article didn't even mention Iraq. Why in God's name something like that was mentioned in the summary is beyond me. If you read the article (yeah, I know) then you would see that Japan actually has a better location- easier to get water, to ship parts, etc. Besides I'm sure power distribution would catch up quickly once we turn this little piece of science fiction into another marvelous reality.

ok. But that wasn't my point. All I'm saying is a little caution wouldn't hurt.

You've never heard of O.J. Simpson, have you?

that's it. I'm moving to mars.
You're not thinking big enough. Too bad. prepare to pay me royalties after they sign my patents for the wheel, fire, and respiration.
Ah but then this post wasn't too original either now that I've reset my browse to 3+... Oh well, c'est la vie!

since you were actually modded up for that, I'd have to assume that some of the mods are your regular customers.

Joe SixPack also doesn't like to be lied to. Where would support be if the general public knew the data they saw was doctored?
As soon as you're 18, you're out the airlock!
you wouldn't happen to work for DARPA, would you?
But then we could scratch them.
but they don't play the best music. Better to turn the radio off... unless you need news or discussion.

Seriously, the grandparent only proved that there are at least 700 stupid people in the world.
you forgot to mention that Iraq wasn't even actually mentioned in the article

nah, but it is pretty coronery.
This was in the new movie Elf. Will Ferrel decorated Macy's with a lego NYC (among other things) in honor of Santa's visit.
