I believe there already is one [&:]

Well, yes I would. A vowel sound such as is present in "AE" should be proceeded by "an", not "a".

Waiting for you to click the "End the Orders Phase" button......

That one guy has some sort of naval chart in his lap. What's that about?

i stand corrected - i knew i came to the right place!
...and it was YOU who dissed me for my english years ago(can't find the post...) [:D]
just great, i can't hide my origin.

I've gotten you again. I wrote "proceeded" when I should've written "preceded" and you failed to catch me in my error. [:-]

Thanks for the link. Some pretty good pics there.

This guy looks like Alex Krycek from the X Files. Could that show have been all true?

Hello, as you probably know, I'm the Donald. Did I come at a bad time? You're all dressed. [:(]

This is not politics, this is science to the best of my understanding. Lately we've been hearing a lot about the possibility of colonizing Mars. I've tried to post the following on a website discussing it, it is perhaps under moderation.

"A lot of major problems are being ignored in this Mars colonization fantasy. Outside the Earth's atmosphere and her electromagnetic field travellers to Mars would be exposed to beta and gamma radiation from the Sun as well as cosmic radiation coming from all directions. A recent study concluded that inside of six months (which is less time than it would take to get there) this radiation exposure would lead to permanent damage to a traveller's nervous system and dementia which would be not be recoverable. Once on the planet some of the exposure would be ameliorated. The Solar radiation would only come from the sky during the dawn to dusk period and the cosmic rays mostly only from the sky but all day (and night) long. The only way this could even be imagined to work is if the colony was set up on top of a lead mine. We mostly know what the problems would be with growing food and conserving water, but there are some things we don't know. We know generally what zero gravity does to a person over six months to a year, and it is not good. Mars has gravity, about a third of Earth's at the surface IIRC but we weren't evolved for that and we don't really have a good idea of what what a lifetime of that would do. We have no idea what this would do to developing children and I can imagine the results would somewhere between awful and complete inviability. Add on to all that the cancers that would follow from all the radiation exposure.
Anyone who thinks our species can avoid extinction by colonizing Mars needs to think again."

Am I Chicken Little? Have I evolved from a reptile to a bird?

Oops, I left a "be" out between "would" and "somewhere".
