Which enlightened muslim intellectual (contradiction) will we have pay homage to for it?

[BitWielder1]

I see a small problem in dragging the rings along at FTL speeds when they themselves are outside the warp field they generate.

[Slings and Arrows]

That’s her!

[Old Sarge]

So if we are working on FTL, so what?

The replicators all have to be halal, and the drive will stop five times a day...

[BigCinBigD]

“What about muslim outreach?”

Is that where they bolt his feet to the launch pad and his hand's to the bottom of the ship.?

[mcshot]

That’s where it’s at. We can fire them off to the far reaches not worrying about retrieval as they would be outreachin, and we have many more.

[Justa]

The ‘rings’ are the warp drives.

[Phlap]

To be clear, as of today the fastest velocity we have achieved is on the order of seven miles per second or 25,000 mph. Sounds impressive, right?

Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second or 670,000,000 mph.

So, currently, in terms of light speed, we are not moving.

I recently saw an article about the creation of transparent aluminum.

[Ozark Tom]

Aluminium oxynitride or Magnesium Aluminate Spinel?

[MinorityRepublican]

After the Muslims destroy the West, the Chinese will extinguish the Islamic Civilization. China isn’t infected by the PC virus.

Actually, New Horizons was doing 51,000 mph after it slingshotted? around Jupiter, and was going over 30,000 mph as it flew by Pluto.
