Let the chinese have the moon. america and europe are thinking of mars and I think thats the future. I know this is going to sound cold but when the chinese have an accident they dont spend years working out the safety issues whilst this is what slows down the western world. back in the days off columbus when explorers died they just kept pushing on and got to their goal quicker. Mars can be terraformed, Mars has plenty of resources, and most of all Mars has plenty of water just a shame about the atmosphere and the lack of nitrogen.

I completly agree with you! Mars is our future, and once we colonize Mars, the rest of the Solar System will be within our grasp. The thing is though, I believe the moon will be crucial as a lift off point for man missions to mars. I believe that is the key for us getting there!

I think the moon is too much of a gravity well compared to a decent size space staion. a lot less energy would be lost if launched from a space station, but hey who am I to tell George Bush what is better or worse.

George Bush dosent seem to know how to speak a complete sentence sometimes. The space station idea is good, I agree, but still, I don't think the moon should be ruled out. Why not set both as conquests? Of course that is my imagination speaking, not taking into account politics, budgets, ect.

Hmm, that's Yildizkapisi's avatar. It's a Stargate symbol. But to me, it's being displayed like 80 x 80 px. Somehow youre seeing it at it's full size, which is huge like 600 x 600. That shouldnt be, since by default all avatars are limited to 100 x 100 or below. Does that happen for you only here, or any time you see one of Yildizkapisi's posts? Either way, Yildizkapisi I'll resize that pictue for you, and host it for you, as thats a HUGE image, and even though it looks small, it still will take others some time to load it, so I'll size the actual byte size down, host it for you, and put it into your avatar.

I have resized the Stargate avatar to 65 x 65, so you shouldnt have anymore problems. Here is a screenshot of what I was seeing, and what you should be seeing - minus the bottom scroll bar due to your image.

You shouldn't have seen that at all, no matter what. Something strange was going on.
With that happeneing to you, and the average posts per day messing up for Morrey, I'm beginning to think Temporal Reality is haunted.
