But do you seriously do anything on your own to help the situation? 'Cause it's kind sad to bitch about how we focus on other things and then not do anything yourself.

mars colonization is #2 on the list of super dumb things that give most of the sci-fi community huge boners

Wren

look why don't you go to africa and get aids already, you obviously have a boner for africans and aids

Ledneh

I dunno man the fact that there's gonna be spent nuclear fuel buried underground about 90 miles away from me and Teefs isn't exactly comforting

Even though the SCIENCE! behind it looks pretty solid and I probably wouldn't be affected in any case

But you know, radioactive AIDS

Because once we get futuristic space travel, we get Space Marines. And that will be pretty sweet.

Ledneh

Also they promised us flying cars and shit like two decades ago and we still don't even have those let alone futuristic space travel

Wren

I'm also waiting for a house that gets me up in the morning, washes me, dresses me, feeds me and then gets me on my morning moon shuttle all without lifting a muscle.

Nucsh

It's not that it can't be done

It's that it's still too expensive and there's not a national transportation network that can still safely accomodate flying cars

You have no idea how complicated the FAA and the national airway system is

Meissnerd

And that's just with airplanes, too

It would be a bitch to regulate cars in the air

South host

Think about your average moron driving on the road. Do you really want them flying around town?

Nucsh

It's not like you hop in the cockpit and press the 'go' button

i would look up statistics on the ridiculously low amount of actual discoveries that have been made due to the space program but i am too lazy. the first step towards change is being aware of a situation. whether or not i personally do something isn't relevant. i was talking about how the dangers of nuclear waste disposal have been completely overblown by the media much like plutonium was in the 50s. at that time it was because the energy industry was worried that if people were too comfortable with it we would see a 'plutonium economy' that would have people with little reactors in their homes chugging away. the waste concerns are equally bs

but this argument isn't even really about space travel its mainly about the fact that blasting waste off into space is a retarded idea given the relative safety of burying it in incredibly safe containment deep deep underground.

Henroid

What year did they time travel to in Back to the Future 2 to fix Marty's fucked up future?

Wren

the only flying car system that could maybe work is one that has automated cars that the people have no real control over. and no one wants to spend 50,000 dollars on something they cant actually drive

Ledneh

Stop dashing my dreams of flying cars with logic you faaaaaggots

Wren

also we wouldn't just blast nuclear waste into space but also garbage, criminals and gays

Meissnerd

I actually think Futurama style transport tubes would work better than flying cars, at least in a city setting.

Axim

this is not to say that space marines and laser beams do not give me large erections

Wren you're being redundant

Heeeyyoooooo

(I didn't really mean it)

Wren

I think laser beams are a stupid idea for anything besides taking down ballistic missiles and maybe also space combat. bullets work just fine thank you

clearly you have not considered all the possibilities..

Spoiler:

Wren

yes I would like to fire a laser at that giant dickwad too

Ranx

Are starwars nerds in a classification of their own when it comes to nerdiness?
Is there some sort of initiation?

Wren

I could see me wearing one of those grey imperial officer caps to something star wars related (if there was free food), but thats because those hats are pretty cool and I might get some sweet, sweaty, flabby and hairy pootang with it.

Is there any where you can buy them?

Wren

no idea. probably have to get one custom made. I mean its just a cloth hat with a rather simple decoration on it.

South host

Probably, I've seen pictures of them with the 501st stormtrooper legion.

Snazzy.

Wren

man it would totally go with my usual outside attire of doc martins, jeans, leather jacket and hawaiin shirt.

Axim

haha star destroyers and they still use pens oh silly star wars

Forever Zefiro

Those are anti-matter pens, they write by erasing matter

Ranx

THEY COULD USE LAZER PENS

Ranx

also, what do the red and blue buttons actually do?

Javen

Those are just used to determine rank. The more little buttons you have, the higher the rank

South host

And I think those "pens" are rank cylinders.

Axim

they are imperial breath mints apparently, conveniently sewn into your garment for the glory and freshness of the empire

Wren

so hot

Axim

she looks like that summer chick from the oc until they engage the imperial flash face mechanism in the second pic

before you flip no i only watched season one so that does not make me gay
