All of the Apollo Astronauts are getting old, with the youngest in his late 70's (Charles Duke is 76 I think). It wont be much longer before they are all gone.
The loss of Neil to me is more than a loss of a brave and brilliant individual, it's the loss of our explorative roots.
Just bummed....
is there such a thing as what this article describes?.

hey atheists, just shut up please.
I run into people like this from time to time. There are overbearing people of all types including Atheists...
for those who are interested, the november 2012 awake!
is now available for download online.. among items of possible interest are some of the latest examples of fear-mongering "armageddon art" on pages 12 and 14.... .
speaking of armageddon, you will be sad to hear that the criteria for surviving the great day of god's wrath just got a little more stringent.. there are a number of extra things in this month's awake!
The real point of the article is to further impress the need to "be no part of the world".. Stand out and sacrifice yourself and any possible joy because this life is not valuable.
Any real meaty articles (Like James mentions in the post above) don't cater to that philosophy.
i've lost count of how many times i've seen the matrix, but every time i see it, i pick up on some other tidbit.
sometimes it's something i forgot over the last few viewings, other times it's something i never focused on, or gave much thought to before.. well, this last time i focused on something morpheus said, and realized that if fits pretty darn well with those of us who, while mentally free and even inactive, are still part of the construct due to family connections, or similar.. we make it a point, over and over and over, here on the board that until a jw is questioning or doubting on their own, nothing we do, no amount of evidence contrary to wt teachings is going to convince them of their being trapped in a cult.. in other words.... the matrix is a system, neo.
that system is our enemy.
Great Quote! So applicable to JW's

Oh yeah... please don't forget Rush, eh!
i'm male, in my early twenties, and i don't know how to cook.
if one day i blow my cover i will have to move out and fend for myself.
my question is what frozen meals or quick fix meals do you recommend for a single guy?
I ate rather poorly! In fact, very poorly. Ramen noodles. The only veggies I got were the onions on the Taco Bell bean burrito. One of my shining cooking moments was when I went out and bought a "tube" of cookie dough. I squeezed the dough out of the tube and placed it on a plate and put it into the microwave and proceeded to nuke it for about 5 minutes. You see, I lived in a studio apartment without an oven. It had a micro refrigerator, a two burner hot plate and a microwave. Needless to say, the dough just got hot and burned a bit on the edges. I let it cool and I ate it with a spoon. That was my special desert.

Ok at about 3:55... I just lost my lunch, breakfast and some of last nights lasagna...
this is just my own observations and pondering.
i was thinking about the way the body's immune system.
is under a constant barage from our surroundings and internal problems like cancer, and if you look at hiv sufferers.
I asked my father this question a while back about our immune system and the organs that support it etc. He said that our immune response is not necessary and that the body's defense mechanism will have another purpose. He also beleives that we only use 10% of our brain and that in the new system we will use 100% of our brain.
It's so frustrating trying to combat "magical thinking"...
today is my first anniversary as a jwn member.
it's hard to believe that only a year has passed since i joined, but i feel that's a testament to how much i have been welcomed and made to feel like part of the furniture.. i would very much like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on the forum for the immense help and assistance i have received, particularly in my first few weeks/months of posting.
it truly was a lifeline at a very distressing time for me.

You survived Armageddon! Congrats

What if it was better served for Spain to invest the 152,000 in local housing and food programs for their citizens that to pay for the Columbus expedition to "India" in 1492....
There is an incredible long term benefit to space exploration that many fail to see.
