I Figure a Month of Silence is Enough

with 3 comments

I have been back in school, and it has taken up a good deal of my time, and I have found the time I don’t spend studying or working, I really don’t want to write a blog entry. But I recently read an article that so inspired me, I could no longer contain myself. My dream of one day being a space doctor on Mars has recently come much closer to reality. A new ion drive that can put men on mars in 39 days. 39 days! That’s less than the boat ride from Europe to the New World in 1600.

  1. Ion engines? Maybe Star Wars was not science fiction, but science future. How long before we produce Twin Ion Engine (TIE) Fighters?

    Maybe now is a good time to resume my Jedi training

  2. I am fired up for a space elevator/space station/moon base/mars base/asteroid farm network bringing in carbon from the far reaches of the solar system for an eventual terraforming of the red planet. With Wookies.

  3. Schatz, consider some longevity research and you could be overseer of a whole terraforming robot army in 2115!
