  Would YOU volunteer for a mission to Mars if you knew you would not return?

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one possible scenario for future manned exploration of mars is that the astronauts would be given what amounts to a "one-way ticket" with enough fuel and supplies to get them there and keep them alive but with no plans to return them to earth.. this may strike our modern sinsibilities as an absurd requirement for a mission, and yet it is not much different from what prospect was faced by ocean voyagers during the "age of exploration" right here on earth.

  comments?

  if you were able to qualify, would you be willing to do this?.

  To elaborate a little on the conditions of my fantastic voyage: I am assuming the development of a sufficiently advanced "bio-dome" technology that would allow the Martian Explorers a sustainable environment "to time indefinite" assuming no catastrophic system failures. If there was a catastrophic system failure, assume everyone dies, just as they do in our terran environment.

  I kije cedars' response since it is close to what my own would be. For a crew with "the right stuff" psychologically, this would assure a place in history.

  If I met the prerequisites for such an adventure, I think I'd do it. Of course the "me" of here-and-now does NOT qualify in many ways, so I'm pretty sure no-one from NASA will be knocking on my door anytime soon.

  It was sometime in the 1970's at the infamous Polo Grounds in NYC. If I recall correctly, it happened - unknown to me at the time - that this was the very same assembly that Barbara Grazutti Harrison after writing her wonderful book, "Visions of Glory" which can be read for FREE at freeminds.com.

  ...anyway, back to me; I was mentally and emotionally well on my way out and the entire assembly might well have been mimed in Esperanto for all it meant to me. Boooooooorrrrring! Spiritual sawdust in due season!

  Deep thought provoking questions about Satan's description in Ez 28

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's taught that ezekiel 28 is speaking about satan, the cherub who is covered in gems, was in the garden of eden..... anyway there are a few things that stand out and so far no explanation yet.

  the whole part is ez 28:12-19.. it says he was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

  he is the annointed cherub 'that is covering'.

  There is no "spirit realm" containing any sort of creature, god, oemon , angel or soul.

  these are the creations of a primitive human mind and not the revelation of any divinity.

  Far better to concern yourself with solving your problems and the problems of your friends and neighbors than to fret about the outcome of one of mankind's oldest soap operas.

  Terry, I'm starting to wonder what lind of frontier hospital you've put yourself in. Does the stagecoach bring supplies on a regular schedule?

  Maybe he can arrange a telgraph conference call with people in the big city who have microscopes and know how to identify "germs". they DO accept "germ theory" where you are, don't they? Or are they treating your humours, essences and force vitale?

  

  When you unplug the blockage in your descending colon, beware the lahar of doom!

  Coconut oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids which can have anti-viral effect. You may want to het some non-hydrogenated coconut oil from a health food store. It melts at about 76 °F. Put a teaspoon of it in your mouth and let it melt. Repeat this five more times. The fatty acids may help defeat the infection and they will also get some grease down in the lower end to stave off the destruction that your impending lahar promises.

  Oh, and the CDC did express concerns about you being a "threat to society" -- are you certain they didn't say "a threat to The Society" which of course you are.

  Terry, where did the ice come from? many restaurant ice machines are FITHY with mold because they figure "It's ICE! It can't be dirty!"

  Ask if they've identified the organism yet and suggest they consider fungi.

  Fungi are higher organisms than bacteria and are harder to kill, so if you need anti-fungals you won't enjoy it. :P

  "By the pickled bones of Judge Rutherford, I command the illness to COME OUT of you!"

  ps - if the ice did come from a restaurant ice machine and it can be shown to be the likely cause of your illness and sufferring, well... that's what lawyers are for.
