When I first heard NASA's report that the liquid was hydrocarbons, I was wondering if McCain would now say we need to drill there and get oil back in a few months? Let's see Obama top that one!!!

Are you kidding? Obama would shoot that down in a heartbeat since it might upset the nice scenery for future generations!

Damn Tree huggers.

And to add to this great news..

Water, that is, real H2O, has been proven on mars, along with other elements essential to supporting life.

Sub simmers would be great people to choose for deep space missions. I mean, they could fire up a quick campaign with the accelerated time feature removed and they'd be good for a few years. And, when they finished that one, they could start a new campaign in the other theater. That covers about 10 years right there.

And because they are so close to reality, the lack of showering could be considered as realism/ambiance.

WTH. I'll go!

:hmm:

And it will give you the time for the 1x career you really want to do once in your life.

However I must take issue with one of your comments. Linking Subsim-ers being "close to reality" is spurious considering some of the threads here.

A valid point.

Wear a hat instead. Don't let your microwave oven effect your thoughts - when you use it - step away. Protect yourself from the invisible rays of death from those damn microwave ovens. Use aluminum or tin to shield yourself and stop bothering them people on the UFO hotline by calling them three [3] times a day as a start to avoid looking at some of those spurious threads, here.

You should look like this to have TOTAL protection:
