So we're not going back to the Moon, but it was just announced that Obama Aims to Send Astronauts to an Asteroid, Then to Mars
By 2025, the United States is expected to begin testing spacecraft for deep space exploration, vehicles capable of exploring beyond the moon on the first-ever manned trip to an asteroid, Obama said.
"By the mid-2030s I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth," President Obama said.
So we have to wait 20 years just to send humans to
orbit
Mars? Bah.
I feel like we need some sort of quadruple patient/donor liver transplant situation (like [link] to get Nora & Tom's place, msbelle's place, and Bob's place in Chicago sold (forgive me if there's anyone I've forgotten).
"Don't be a guy, Lloyd. The world is full of guys. Be a man."
(And now Lloyd only looks right written like "LLOYD!!!" Frickin' Piven, man.)
I would totally buy Nora and Tom's place! If I, you know, had any money. It does seem like the people moving around should line up a little better.
The lesson I'm getting from this isn't "Women don't want to date guys who are too nice," but "Women aren't mind readers."
Don't get me started.
God. No shit. Also: my magical ladyparts are not your goddamned reward for you being my friend.
Gnnnnnnagh.

Oh, yes. They ARE magical.
Lisah! I just realized that I didn't donate to your Ride. Is it too late?
So we have to wait 20 years just to send humans to orbit Mars? Bah.
It would be a huge accomplishment to get people that far. I don't know if there is any technology even on the radar for a propulsion system and radiation shielding to pull that off.

Ahahahahaha. Yeah. So very much this.
