Step 1. Build, design, and finish making the CEV concept vehicle or some sorta titan based ISS rescue boat.
Step 2. Send the shuttle up to the ISS and inject a bunch of reasonable doubt about re-entry safety. Thus stranding the Astronauts aboard the ISS.
Step 3. Go "OMG, teh poor astronauts" and have NASA go "Well we do have this rescue boat (CEV) we could send up" and get all shitloads of free press.
Step 4. Televise the rescue craft launch and make a big deal about it returning safely. ("Yay teh astronauts are safe!!!")
Step 5. Send the shuttle back down on Remote and make it make a big 'splosion over teh ocean. The Citizen drones of the USA will be cheering NASA for being so smart with (teh rescue) and sell merch' and stuff based off the new CEV you used to rescue the poor stranded 'nauts. Tie in a few movies and the public support for NASA will be so high you can send men to Mars ASAP!!!
Send a seed factory that is controlled on earth that doews nothing more than lay out some solar cells and starts building infrastructure, send a few more factories that make parts for robot and solar cells, then make the fctory essentially "replicate" itself and move over a few hundred meters and repeat the process, even if it takes a year for the first factory to replicate itself, that would be a growth pattern like this:
Year 1: 1 Factory
Year 2: 2 Factories
Year 3: 4 Factories
Year 4: 8 Factories
Year 5: 16 Factories
Year 6: 32 Factories
Year 7: 64 Factories
Year 8: 128 Factories
Year 9: 256 Factories
Year 10: 512 Factories
Year 11: 1024 Factories
And so on and so forth until a large section of the moon is covered by factories. And gee, you now have thousands of Factories that can build solar cells and structures and electronics, tell them to make a moon base and they can build the damned thing in a week and have LARGE infrastructure there so when humans to come to the moon the next batch of astronauts will feel like they are taking a vacation.
Oh yeah like we need a Forest and a Desert environment in our greenhouse on the moon, maybe we need some ice caps in there too so we can sing kumbayha while we run out of oxygen because Our desert environment isn't producing jack didly squat and would have been better with a total green house type biosphere.
I know all about this, I took a bunch of chemicals that are present in the human body and tried to bring my dearly departed mother back to life, What I ended up with a missing right arm, missing left leg and my brother's soul bonded to a suit of armor. I wish Alchemy books would come with a warning about such things.....
I love.hack//sign and the video games, really fun, in some ways I wish the online world was more like it was portrayed in the game/anime, danger and all, heh.
I always wanted to shoot that F*cdking ape ass CPU waste of freeking time and effort.... Usless ass pile of shit software.....4 hours later......Brainddead waste of memory and graphics process pile of shit software.
Will we get these cool ear pod type device that can sync us all up so we can go get an "upgrade" at the local factory. Some people may miss their emotions though.....
Ever since the last 3 films and Lucas bastardizing the Original Trilogy I would have to say that the old BBC series Blakes 7 is far superior now. In Blakes 7 you got wobbly consoles and cheap ass special effects and spaceships made out of paper mache, but Kerr Avon always shot anyone who looked at him wrong pre-emptively and didn't need an excuse to shoot unlike post Lucas meddling Han Solo.
You had a Freedom fighter, a Cold Hearted Rational Computer Expert, a Thief, a Smuggler, a guy a big as a Wookie but more understandable, a Telepath, and a ships cmputer and later on a "brain in a box" that was just as ruthless as the computer expert. And Blakes 7 came out the same year as Star Wars. Blake was a freedom fighter like Luke Skywalker, but he had to fight Servelan and the Federation and Servelan could kick the living shit outta anakin skywalker in high heels and look beutiful doing so. Plus the Liberator could easily outrun the Mill Falcon.
Sadly Blakes 7 has become better than Star Wars ever since Lucas has Monkied around with it.
A while back I remembered seeing proposals for storing excess electricity during off-peak hours in huge supercooled superconducting storage rings, but I haven't heard any more about it in years, and don't even know how such a scheme would work.
Yeah, they have a superconducting ring in Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs that essentially does the same thing.
That is nice, but what happens when you feel like your ghost has left you, are you dead? Can you ever regain a ghost and will it be the same one you had before?

What did the Stargate Program ever do to you????
They even had the poofy shirt years before that hack seinfeld stole it!

More of the Same old Ninny Mindedness from our favorite Nanny state government.
That was a very aborted attempt at humor.

Hancock is just pissed that Daniel Jackson got his comfy cushy job at the Air Force....

Either that or they are spending all of their time writing cleaver and interesting dialogue for Rodney McKay.
It runs on batteries when no other car is around and has a tractor beam to steal kinetic energy from SUV's when I am on the freeway....
To find out what happened to poor Jimmy Kudo....
Have Dr. McKay explain this to Conan and Xena the sun will have boiled earth to a smoldering cinder.
By the article it would suggest that the Earth has Venus Envy.
They could pull them back, re-label them and record games on them, and sell the PSP games for 1/2 price, sheer marketing genius!!!
That is nice, but what happens when you feel like your ghost has left you, are you dead? Can you ever regain a ghost and will it be the same one you had before?

Wow, sounds familiar....
They would need a protocol and standards comitteee to make this happen, joy....
