My opinion exactly. Everything we need to learn about "going to Mars" can be learned by mastering the moon first.
With the added benefit that if there's a problem - the moon is close enough that we could (maybe) send help.

Virgos are often put down badly by many astrologers and written up as being fussy and narrow-minded. But when a Virgo shines, there is practically no sign to match their inner light. An in-tune Virgo is a treat to meet. When a Virgo is confident within themselves they are the most successful, structured and creative of all the signs.
Many Virgos can be found working in the "service to others" industries, ranging from welfare work, doctors, school-teachers through to practising natural forms of healing like massage, herbal remedies etc. One of the most magical characteristics of the Virgo is no matter how many times life or romance turns sour on them, they still manage to maintain faith in others, refusing to become cynical. There is ingenuity around this sign, a kind-heartedness, which unfortunately is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. Virgos can often become victims of relationship power-games, where they are mistreated.
Creative and sensitive, Virgos are delicate people who, like rare and special orchids, require individual treatment to fully blossom into their true unique beauty. Shy, they are happy to allow others to take centre-stage and often generate their time and energy into making those they love happy or successful.
Virgos are givers and when the chips are down and you need a friend, the one available during those testing times when you need advice or companionship the most, is likely to be a Virgo. Virgos understand human frailties better than most, because they are so deep and reflective themselves. With a Virgo in your life you have someone who understands and cares and any romance or friendship based upon these qualities is certain to be mutually rewarding
Or . ..
have the software only allow the laser to fire in "green" areas.
Red areas would be off limits.
Or "red" sectors would be negative points (and the laser wouldn't fire)
Oh wow . . . imaging having that game on-line.
1. Create a mobile base with a laser in space
2. Sell tickets on-line to shoot space debris for 5min
3. ??
4. Profit!
Add in a RFID implantaion policy to every citizen and you wouldn't need the helpful gov't man . . .
The system could identify you automatically (via RFID) and send the message via text to speach.
Wow . . . that'd be creepy cool.
Not entirely normal . . . but Yup.
(There are several citys that I know of that have this by-law.)
I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. You are allowed 2 weeks for cutting your lawn. If you don't cut your lawn in that time - And someone complains / phones - the city sends someone to cut your lawn for you and sends you the bill. (Cheaper to buy a new lawn mover than have the city cut your lawn.)

Hey Guys,
Happy Belated B-Day to CmdrTaco!
30 . . . A milestone birthday.
Welcome to middle age . . .;0)
K, I'll bite . . . I work for the agency http://www.pmacanada.com/ that represents William Grant's & Son's http://www.williamgrant.com/ (i.e. - Glenfiddich / The Balvenie) across Canada . . .
Next time you're near Hogtown (Toronto/Greater Toronto Area) . . . fire me an e-mail, let me know when and where you'll be and I'll personally get that bottle to you. You'll have to show up in person (cause I'm currious and want to meet you.) That . . . and Canadian law prohibits the transfer of alcohol across provincial boundries.
Again - Happy Birthday CT!
May you have many more.

Same here. 9th Grade - used it all the way through high school. Loading up tapes with the 410 to play Zaxxon in my parents basement for hours on end. I bought the later model with the GTIA chip for that extra 3 graphics modes.
Saving up for an 810 FDD for that whopping single density capicity. Had the paper route hole punch to double side the single sided FD's. 1/2 price floppies . . . wohoo!
I still remember going to user groups and arguing that 64K of memory was too much. How could we use that ammount of memory . . . ???
Good times . . . Good times . . .

Except fish are slimy, scaly and make weird mouth shapes when you pull them out of the water to look at them.
They're sea kittens!
OMG. That's stunning. That needs to be shared with friends . . .

Time is an artificial construct of the Human mind that allows us to stop everything from happening all at once . . .
