It's not nice to play God ...

IT’S MADE WITH LIQUID METAL

Although ... this polymer could work out great to quickly remedy those occasional fender benders.

It reminds me of mercury that when split apart always seeks itself into a single mass again. I learned that in chemistry 45 (YIKES) ago. Maybe those Spanish scientists have that mercury idea in mind.

T-2 was SUCH a great movie, as good at T-1.

I thought the Pacer looked really neat when it first came out.

[Cyber Liberty]

You’re diseased.

[DManA]

Someone said the best thing about the Pacer was it had a heated rear window. Kept your hands warm when you were pushing it.

The window was big enough for you to stretch your whole body out on it. I’m sure lives were saved somewhere, somewhere in Donner Pass. I’m not sure I could bear the risk of the embarrassment of being found prostrated on that ‘70’s era remake of “The Fly.”

Come on, admit it, it looked cool. If it hadn’t been a mechanical piece of junk it’d been a classic.

[Cyber Liberty]

I guess it looked cool, in the sense that a Gremlin looked cool. AMC were the masters of the day. I had a friend with a Marauder. The front fenders looked like they had fins.

Can they program her to make me a sandwich?

This is really important for space travel/colonization.

A long trip to somewhere far away will require a really large ship with not many crew.

Most of the ship would need to be able to repair itself if struck by a small rock.

[Secret Agent Man]

crew’will be dead from radiation on any long term voyage to another solar system. even in our own probably.

“crew’will be dead from radiation on any long term voyage to another solar system. even in our own probably.”

I think you could use a superconductor to generate a magnetic field to envelope the ship and deflect most of the radiation much as the earth’s magnetic field does.

When something does go wrong, we’ll all be assured that it was absolutely *unforeseeable!*
