About 71% of the Earth's surface is water, though it only makes up around 0.02% of the planet's total mass.

    Just like the dems’ brains are only .2 percent working.

 Europa is a moon of Jupiter. It is on the Left. Notice how it has even more water than Earth. Good chance it has life too but it's hidden under miles of ice . Very exciting target of future exploration.

    Mars is the hip place to imagine people colonizing . The problem is very little water . Trade with Europe could solve that problem . ( Also split up that water to liberate oxygen into that very thin atmosphere)

    Trade with Europa. Trade with Europe would be something else.

    I don’t live in the molten iron core or the rocky interior.
I live in the middle of the biggest ocean on the surface of earth.
I like my place despite the lack of mass.

    That little ball of water is obviously not the correct scale.

    ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.
I should know, I went to high school with Keir Dullea’s wife. I was lucky enough to go to two high schools, one with Mark Hamill, and the other with Mia Dillon. Both actors and both leftists, of course.

    I like my place despite the lack of mass.Here in my small town there are two places where mass is available on a regular basis. Since I belong to the One True Faith 🙂↔️ (Lutheran of course), however, I get weekly Eucharist elsewhere.
(Yes, I'm kidding about the OTF, but that is a subject for another thread.)

    Not accurate. Not even close.
But point taken.

    That’s plenty. I think we’ve got all the water that we need.

    Here are some calculations based on the following: radius of earth=4000 miles, 71% of earth is covered in oceans, and average depth of oceans=3 miles, all water in the oceans could be packed in a ball with a radius of about 470 miles. The fresh water (lakes and rivers) ball would be much, much smaller. The pics look about right to me.
