Don't do it, smonster. It's like quicksand in there!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

So, overtime pay, then.
I don't know that it can be done with chemical rockets. Sending humans means a lot of weight, and they are going to be out there long enough they need some serious radiation shielding, which is more weight. If you want to get there in less than a year, that's going to be a ton of energy for acceleration and you have to accelerate all the fuel you need to accelerate back. I kind of think we'll have to go nuclear to get enough energy per pound to do it.

Thing you should NOT do, msbelle--be out of town for most of the two weeks before closing on the house and moving. Don't do it. Also. Someone stop me from flying to Kansas and cockpunching my lender? I have a bad feeling shit is going to be wrong like a wrong thing somewhere on the documents...

Dunno if this is the Ares V he's talking about....
That would be one hell of a rocket.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, speaking as someone with a pet who already does things like this [link] or this [link] if I ever do shell out for an iPad, the cats aren't getting anywhere near it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That would be one hell of a rocket.
Yeah. Roughly comparable to the Saturn V.

And also the "we're already pals and if I ask her out and she say's 'no' things will get irrevocably wierd" sentiment.
Yikes, the one way express to awkwardville.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah. So you just hang out hoping one day you'll simultaneously hear that little "click" noise.
