I just re-joined FR and I would like to post to my local NC state board but I am not able to. How do I get the ability to do that?

In my case, it is the lower back. NEVER wrong. Thanks goodness for certain pain pills; otherwise, housework would be left to those who don’t really care. And that would leave me to tidy up. UNGH!

"I thought that story would end with time travel or warp speed or aliens..." Yeah, but this way, we didn't know what to expect!

According to Wikipedia it’s the heaviest metal element.

The era of human space travel was over. Humans were now scattered over dozens of solar systems in primitive societies, how many continue to look up and hope someone could come to help? There was no colony coming to help and Earth was in free fall and its civilization crumbled.

No. I never watched “Forbidden Planet.”
My science fiction phase more-or-less coincided with High School and was confined to reading due to things like homework and family members impacting my TV schedule.
I did watch Star Trek reruns, but that was about it.

That sounds distressingly like it came from today’s newspaper.

I never watched Forbidden Planet. For its time, there was a lot of science to that science fiction. It still plays well today, and it's in color, so there's no reason not to watch it.
Anyway, when the monster was pursuing them, they took shelter behind "Krell metal", supposedly a very superior kind of steel. But the monster wasn't stopped by that; it could draw on all the power of the planet, to heat the metal, first red hot, and eventually white hot, and softer than putty.
If you have light bulbs in your house, you may see labels on them, referring to "color temperature". The higher the temperature, the brighter the light.

Measured in Kelvins I think, which makes about as much sense to me as measuring wind speeds in suction power or something.

"Going to colonize a far-off world? You cant take advanced technology with you, maybe." Download the entire history of Roy Underhill's "Woodwright's Shop" into your brain.
He shows how to use primitive tools to make elegant furniture.

"Measured in Kelvins I think, which makes about as much sense to me as measuring wind speeds in suction power or something." Kelvin temperatures start at absolute zero. There are no negative Kelvin temperatures.
But with temperatures hot enough to make things glow with heat, you're pretty far above "normal" anyway. The freezing point of water is at 273o Kelvin. A warm glow is somewhere around 2700 degrees Kelvin.

...story would end with time travel or warp speed or aliens...Nah..
My 'fixing-the-elevator' story contained those elements...
It was authored on a Telex machine and saved as punched tape, neither of which I have access to anymore.
Engineering department persons can come up with strange tings if presented with too much time on their hands...
