    Oooooooooooooh, but what if the aliens enslave us? :shifty: Anywayz, it dont technically matter to us, but the current sun will eventually burn out in like a billion years, so the distant distant distant distant generations may be able to harness the powers of this "new" sun. Or maybe we'll be able to make our own sun by then. Either that, or the aliens will wipe out the human race. ^_^

    use ur imagination, we live in a space shuttel and sleep for long 18 hour period, and stay up for 4 hours working and learning. then eat, then spleep again and the pliot would be a 14 pilot takeing a 8 hour shift. the pupolstion system would be as the normal space shuttle of USA but it would be luanched from new space station that the US and russia plans to build(im not really sure how we'll really get there from using rockets in space, cuz we need air to make a fire right?)


    linkin_park_fanatic: im just waiting/hopeing that would be soon( plays half life 20 ^_^ )
