The Secret studios in Nevada where they faked the moon landings would be really busy, they would be having to fake not only the moon bases, but the Mars landings and the bases there as well.
Because we never made it past low earth orbit.

So we are all going to be having to switch over to "Prison-system economics"? . At McDonald's we will have to buy Big Macs using cigarettes and shivs for currency. . One plasma TV will Equal 10 cartons of cigarettes. .
Yeah, of course what happened after that was people started having to resort to bartering for goods using small amounts of Gold, Kinda like what they did TWO-Thousand years ago. So you take an economy and you screw it up so badly that you have to reset it back to the pre-roman levels of commerce. . And people laugh at other people for collecting and buying gold.
The money that was created out of thin air by this error is no more invalid than the trillions of dollars of Fiat currency that the Government forces down everyone's throat. . Nixon was an absolute bastard for getting us off of the Gold Standard. . Now money should not be backed by just one precious metal, but should be backed may various different precious metals and maybe some other precious resources. Full faith and credit is a joke. . Hey maybe they should give this guy a gold metal, because he could have single handedly used his debit card to pay off all out debts like Stan did in "Margaritaville". .
Better still, the day before they plan to de-orbit send a propulsion module to the ISS, hijack it and boost it to a higher orbit and then send a commando astronaut in to disconnect it from NASA communications systems and take the thing over for your own purposes.
Claim that you want to re-cycle it int he name of earth and blame greenpeace.
No, I blame the people who didn't want to burn greenhouse gases who pushed everyone to use renewable sources like "Geo-thermal" or "Venu-Thermal" energy that caused plate tectonics to grind to a halt and the outer crust to solidify and thicken which was all well and good until a few hundred million years later all of that internal Venusian heat had to go somewhere and lo and behold instant planet wide resurfacing and extreme out gassing.
The Eco-nuts of Venus were all proud of their renewable energy plan for geothermal until the fateful day the surface of the planet melted and they were all screwed. Thanks eco-nuts!!! Now there is one less habitable planet in the solar system! Too bad all of the amazon Venusian Women melted in the great planetary resurfacing 500 million years ago.
Plate tectonics stopped on venus long ago and this lead to overheating which caused a massive planet wide resurfacing and out gassing ever few hundred million years, causing venus to be the craphole it is now. If it had a moon and decent rotation plate techtonics would have likely been persevered. and life may still have been there.
Yeah, but that relys too much on using dangerously toxic carbon.... . I've heard that a few grams of carbon injected into a polar bear at 100m/s can kill it instantly. . Way to dangerous to use in cars and vehicles.
Dr. Strange Glove.... . I have this mental image of T.Boone Pickens straddling one of the blades of a giant turbine as it goes round and round. He is strapped to it and screaming "Yee Haw" while waving around his Cowboy hat with one arm. . Then the Turbine blows up real good! . .
If I buy some of those powerful Neodymium magnets and move them over my head can I get high that way?
I would like to know because that would same me a lot of money, or would I have to keep buying more and more powerful magnets to keep achieving the same "high" effect?
Re:So it plays back media

VLC 1.0.0 Released

Well to be fair they can always make a system tray app that loads about 1/2 of the 200MG in memory on system start up and can check for updates every 10 minutes by downloading and uploading about 1MB of data.
The system tray app should only delay your system start up by 20 seconds and will shave a good 2 seconds off every time you load VLC. So it is a win-win scenario.
Maybe they could also throw in a few services for good measure as well, I know any app is helped by have a couple extra services running always in the background. They could each chew up around 32MB of memory and could reall help to shave a few microseconds off of the loading time of the parent application, plus every time you update the main software you have to update the services and who doesn't like to reboot every time your media player updates???

Looks like they may have discovered Hyronalin

Wake me up when they have discovered Warp Drive.
I am sure Early and his Redneck Octopi Squid-billies will have all sorts of fun driving over them with his tricked out 4WD.
Call me when they have a cheap 1,000 year blue ray and blue ray burner.
Why do you think they framed him for murdering his Ex-wife and her boyfriend???
Lucky for us OJ fought the power.
But that didn't help him as those sneaky snakes framed him for something else.

Yeah, because an inch or two of aluminum is going to shield people really well from ass tons of radiat6ion.

So Venus lost it's atmosphere eh? good thing it did because now we can send landers that don't have to worry about the 100X sea level pressures.

I like those ideas, I think it would be interesting to see how many ion thrusters would be needed to park the thing into a permanently stable orbit?
The Ultimate Solution is to rob another Universe of it's Energy and increase that universe's entropy.
That is what I plan on doing for my Energy plan.

You get a hell of a lot more energy (several factor levels more) out of a pound of Uranium that you can from a pound of Oil or Coal.
Why let those Uranium isotopes just sit in the soil and cause Radon Gas, put them atoms to some good use already dammit!

For their crazy antics will either keep us entertained for thousands of years to come or they will be the end of us all.
