  1. I've been to Chicago. once, years ago. Just for a few days. Anyone else been there? Gigantic city, all kinds of things happening good and bad there.
  2. This is an outstanding series of lectures on astrophysics. There's one by Frank Drake, Drake equation guy. The lecture titled "dawn of creation the first two billion years, is one of the best, also, "finding the next earth". https://www.youtube.com/user/SVAstronomyLectures
  3. read part of the thread at the jetshfboards site. so much complaining and whining.
  4. There was an episode of original star trek on tv, the same plot. The crew of the USS Enterprise deals with a life-destroying space probe originally launched from Earth. The plot contains similarities to the later 1979 Star Trekfilm.[1]"The Changeling" is the third episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek.
  5. So strange that it's out there so far.
  6. The Breakthrough intiative, is working on a proposal to send micro spaceships to Alpha Centauri, powered by a light sail, with lasers on earth, reaching 20 % speed of light, and length of trip 20 years. Board of director includes Stephen Hawking. Lots of problems, but they are serious.
  7. This group have figured out a way for a manned trip to Mars, and return. This is very interesting. These people are brilliant.

  9. spectral, (netflix) is a sci fi movie that I really enjoyed. made in Russia I think, the Russians have some great cgi, different than the hollywood kind, as is the cinematography. review from youtube trailer
  10. Arena football, is actually quite good, but people down there aren't interested. Some arena players end up in the CFL, and NFL. and the games are fun to watch. But people just don't have any interest in it.
  11. Trump signs new NAFTA agreement, a few hours later says if it isn't passed immediately, he'll just withdraw from NAFTA completely.
  12. some online articles are now being composed by computers. you can spot them fairly easily. saw one today calling packers qb A Rod.
  13. frequently updated news on Ukraine Russia mess https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-live-blog-events-as-they-happen/29467569.html
  14. There is "idiocracy". It's not that far from what we have now. "During the 2016 presidential primaries, writer Etan Cohen and others expressed opinions that the film's predictions were converging on accuracy, which, during the general election, director Mike Judge also said.[40] At the time, Judge also compared Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump—who later won and became President of the United States—to the movie's dim-witted wrestler-turned-president, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho"
  15. I suppose there might be other ways to respond to my post, but..... glad to have been able to give you a good laugh.
