Hey Prof, you need an apprentice astrogator on that thing?
I don't use much oxygen and am a crack shot with light speed weaponry should the need arise.

Perhaps solar flair radiation caused the blonde gene. All that nasty dark hair, needs a very close inspection to make sure it is healthy.
These Chevy Nova's were extremely durable cars, despite GM's mmgt. By today's standards these compacts would be considered full size.

I enjoy the way Bell handles those calls. He treats them decently, milks them for what entertainment value they carry, and moves on with a chuckle.

By today's standards these compacts would be considered full size. And pretty comfortable, too.

You got a set of laser spanners? The FTL drive needs tinkering now and then.

Unfortunately no. If Craftsman doesn't make it, I don't have it. When they start carrying a line of photonic tools, I'll have it covered.

I believe the upper photo is a super Nova.

I don't have the link handy right now, but genrally speaking the radiation doesn't go up very much for the astronauts, since they're a small target and inside the earth's magnetosphere. The increase in exposure is rather small.
Now, if this was a Mars Transit or Moon Transit we were talking about, they'd have something to think about.

...even Bell thought he was a nutcase. The voice was familiar. Might have been that formerly unimaginative caller who claimed to be the "magog" or similar sounding name.
It's callers like him that maybe justify a webcam for the expressions on whatever host's face.

Man, I loved her.
Too bad she was shot by those damned dirty apes.

Um, on a scale of x-ness, is 8 or 9 very high?

Too bad she was shot by those damned dirty apes. Well, she preceded all of Earth by about 12 minutes. But man, she was the best part of the movies.

It seems clear power companies have gotten a handle on the threat of solar activity based on nothing happening regarding the grid last week. That's only because the the Bush/Cheney controlled Masonic/Skull-n-Bones/Illuminati/CFR/Tri-lateralist/military-industrial complex wasn't firing up those giant Tesla coils to power their HAARP antennas last week.

Fairly high. Doesn't make the top twenty all time list, but in the top forty.

This solar maximum was supposed to end in 2000. Maybe the sun is going through "Global Warming".....

But man, she was the best part of the movies. Her, and this girl:

They had perfectly white teeth, plucked eyebrows, and perky breasts, and they sure made the movies memorable.
Much better than Rae Dawn Chong in this loser: 
Oops. Wrong movie...

Let's just burn all of the SUVs. That'll make things better.
