Even if they don't support alien life or complex alien life, if there is an oxygen/hydrogen atmosphere, we should probably consider them a good backup colony site for a generational expedition. It's like house hunting, Mars is a fixer upper within the neighborhood, and these guys maybe perfect suburban two story with a yard :P

It'd be one long ass commute. :P

I got good news Friday.   I have a condition called angle recession glaucoma which is caused by repeated trauma- eg. getting beaten up. Boxers get it and it can damage your optic nerves to the point

I really hope that this story is true and if it is, it is definitely good news! I confess I cried a bit reading it (a good cry).

I'd love to know more about this man's life story.  I hope they find the funding they need to complete the film.

The 'Lone Ranger' (one of my favorite shows, growing up) theme music really felt appropriate to play here for this young Lady.

It is sad that it took the deaths of two Beluga Whales, to finally tip the scales. The result though is a happy ending, in that Cetaceans will no longer be imported or displayed there. One down, so many others to go.

Good News: Looking through my Google Drive, I have been able to recover most of my files. :D Only the most recent files on my old laptop weren't saved on Google Drive. All in all, I think I have 80 to 90% of my files!!! :2thumbs:
