I am waiting to patronize that new restaurant on Mars.

Great Food...not much atmosphere.

And the outdoor seating to flatten the curve isn’t cutting it.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.
In fact, it's cold as hell.

Don’t have the potatoes. They were grown in Matt Damon’s poo.

Some of the best “joints” have no atmosphere at all! :-)

Here’s a story of blood and glory and digging in the mines, in the martian mines

“Dr. Grip at the same time spearheaded the development of computer algorithms that would be able to steer and adjust the flight of the helicopter quickly enough to automatically respond to shifting atmospheric conditions on Mars”

I’ve known several people over the years with oddly appropriate surnames like that.

LOL! Good one! My husband always wanted to go to space!

Guess he found the opportunity after all!

All the best, fellow FReepers! This place has always made me happy!

They had a competition to name this little helicopter. I think the name should have been Mayfly. This because it might not make it and even if it does it’s only going to fly for a few minutes. It’s like that lander that was sent to Titan. You wait years and years for it to arrive and it only lasts for a few minutes! It should be nuclear powered like the latest rover on Mars is.

One day, alas not soon, we will stop wasting money on Mars as we realize there is nothing of any value there.

The last jr. high history book that I taught from neglected to mention the Wright Brothers at all—although to be fair, it had a picture of the Flyer. It did have room for a couple of sentences to mark the achievement of the woman who started the first kindergarten class for black kids in Los Angeles, however.
