kent_white Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I was off work yesterday and found myself watching This Morning. Phil Schofield was interviewing 2 of the Mars 'hopefuls'. He pointed out that a recent study by M.I.T. says that based on current technology, if they made it to Mars, they would die of asphyxiation after 61 days. Even if they could find the means to survive, they wouldn't be able to procreate as their sexual organs would disintegrate because of the unrelenting barrage of radiation they'd be under. Testicles, ovaries and cosmic rays don't mix well. This led Phil to pose one of the greatest questions in the history of television when he asked them....... Â 'Aren't you afraid it will irradiated your nads?' Â Having seen the calibre of the hopefuls with my own eyes and carrying out an in depth feasibility study, I'd give them a 0.0000632% of achieving the mission directive.

SatanGreavsie Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015  "Andromeda? Fuck 'em. If the cunts want some, we'll fucking give it to 'em. Light years - fuck off! I'll give you light years, you cunts. Milky Way boys, we are here..."  Carl Sagan in a never broadcast "Cosmos" outtake, 1980, somewhat the worse for wear in the Mojave desert. He later blamed it on eating the wrong cactus.

Youri McAnespie Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I worked out it would take us 83,000 years to get to the nearest possibly habitable planet, and then it probably won't be habitable (it's one off Tau Ceti)...I think my maths might be wrong but it's definitely not less. Â Anyhow, the mission to Mars, why not recruit a crew composed entirely of paedohphiles, then if it goes tits up and the rocket disintegrates on launch we can all cheer and dance a merry jig? If it actually gets there, they can do a tiny bit to redeem themselves by carrying out experiments and stuff (proper scientific ones).

kent_white Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The eclipse in March should still be pretty exciting. 85% blackout in London so it should be a little more than that up here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The one back in 1999? was the biggest pile of wank ever. it was like a cloud passed over for a bit - shite.
