| To Mars
5/28/2002 - Madrid
one of the biggest, most important
discoveries in the last 10,000 years happened today. i'm not
kidding. they discovered lots and lots of water (sub-strata,
as ice) on mars. the implications of this are staggering. this
most likely means that the human exploration of mars could happen
a lot more easily than had previously been imagined. and it
has great implications for the exploration of the rest of the
solar system, too.
maybe i'm just a big nerd, but i'm really excited about this.
water on mars. it's so exciting.
now if we can just stop trying to kill each other long enough to get there. just
imagine what would happen if all of the money spent on weapons and defence were
instead spent on the exploration of outer space? we would be on mars in 5 to
10 years. maybe we should all agree to stop trying to kill each other just long
enough to get to mars.
