I had a date with her today. When I say date, I mean we agreed to be in the same place at the same time. That's a hair cut to most people. She did jokingly say she'd end up at mine on Sunday as she's out in town. I didn't think it was possible to fall off a static chair, until then. Anyway, she was kidding.

 

I repulse her, would be the short answer.

I'm willing to bet that there's life within our own solar system - Europa is looking like the best bet at the moment, with its oceans of water under a protective layer of ice.

 

Intelligent life is a different matter though. The sheer immensity of timescales make the likelihood of meeting a civilisation at the same stage of progression as ours, and therefore likely interested in communication, is fairly remote even if the vast distances between the stars can be conquered. We might be as ants to them, or vica versa.

 

NASA's planning to go to Mars within the next 15 years, but whether that will actually happen is anyone's guess. I suspect it's more likely the Chinese will get there first, they have the sort of budget and discipline that the US had after 2WW, so if they want to they could probably pull it off.

The best bit about haircuttingwomen is that you can masturbate under the poncho they put on you while their breasts touch your head.

There is life out there. One day, a race the with the technology to discover us from far, FAR away will do so, long before we discover them. When they do, we better hope they are benevolent. Because if not, I expect they might have a look at what we do to our planet, our animals and ourselves, and eradicate us from the surface of the planet faster than Brian Blessed can down a pint.

Well, we only visited there once really so I wouldn't say we were bored of it.

What? That's not true is it? I'm sure we've been there multiple times haven't we?

 

 

We just dont want to then I guess?

Of course we want to, but these things cost money and need to be planned out right. I'm sure I read that recently some astronauts have been in training for the long trip to Mars to see how they would get on.

Firstly I dont think so, im sure there was only one instance of man landing on the moon and secondly that was in response to Jobber saying that we could put man on Mars tomorrow if we wanted, we couldnt. Today a rocket launched to put a robotic vehicle on mars and thats a big step but were still a way off from setting foot on Mars.

Incorrect. There have been 6 landings, each with two astronauts, making a total of 12 people to have walked on the moon. Took me all of 10 seconds to look that up.
