What will we discover, where we boldly go ?

[Moonlight]

I hate to rain on your parade mapuc but the human race won't make it to that level of technology, in fact they won't even make it to the next century.

Get down to the doctors, take some chill pills and thank your lucky stars that you won't ever see the coming apocalypse.

I was always open minded on this subject but not any more, if anyone on here can say different then speak up and explain to every one how this apocalypse can be avoided and how we are going to navigate the stars.

[mapuc]

Isn't there a proverb saying something with

War and Disaster is mother of all inventions or something like that.

So maybe after this apocalypse we will make huge progress in technologies like in Star Trek (First Contact)

Since no one exactly know what we will find except lots of Hydrogen, Helium Suns and planet,
This thread is free to speculate and to derail-As long it stay within the subject Space the univers

In order for us to go boldly as the saying goes, three problems have to be addressed. Time, distance and the laws of Physics. Our alien neighbors will have to solve those problems as well if they wish to visit us.

We will probably discover that the third rock from the sun is the finest place in the universe to live...and we've really mucked it up...being "in the image of god" and all; which is why we're trying to get off this spinning, overpopulated, overheated, disease ridden, nuclear afflicted mudball in the first place...

Probably more space.


On a side note, I've always had the impression that Enterprise is not very well received among Star Trek fans and I'm a bit puzzled by it. I found it to be my favorite ST show I've seen.

PS. I never not take the chance to shill Babylon 5 when it come to Sci-fi, so if you've not seen the show. Definitely check it out. It is the best damn Sci-fi show I've seen.

PPS. Oberon, if you happen to be lurking; Watch the damn show already!

Stop thinking about it, I did.

Being from New England it's the story of my life. I am not exaggerating when I say that my home town has the best pizza I have ever tasted anywhere, and I have looked, extensively, for something that even can match it over half the planet and nothing comes even close. Don't believe me go try it yourself. C&M Pizza in Leominster. Just be prepared for a bit of a let down every time you eat pizza from anywhere else ever again. It's like the Shangri-La of pizza, once you eat it you can never go back to mortal pies.

It's not just pizza either, NE has the best weather, the best food the best environment, heck even our environmental disasters, "Nor'easter" blizzards, are pretty mild when compared to the damage and destruction caused by tornadoes, earthquakes and wildfires that are suffered by the rest of the country, it truly is a land of plenty in so many ways.

The downside of this blessing and there always is one, is that everywhere I travel it's often a bit of a gastric disappointment. For example you'd think a sand bar state like Florida would have damn good seafood right? Nope. I went down there really hoping to try something better than I can find at say Browns Lobster Pound up at Hampton Beach NH but I was shocked to find that Florida seafood consists mostly of unidentified lumps of fish or reptile (doesn't seem to be much of a distinction) deep fried to hockey puck consistency in some kind of rancid oil like stuff that smells like it once helped to mark a Harley-Davidsons parking spot. Again I do not exaggerate.

How can this be? Delicious fresh fish nearly surrounds the state and they seem to have no clue about how to cook it so that it's actually edible. It ain't like we have some kind of monopoly on good cooks up here and the same highway that runs through Boston also runs through Miami (as our football talent has discovered recently), so i'm thinking it has to be environmental, maybe the water or the local bacteria or the air or something but it ain't just missing the taste of home I can tell you that!

It has been a pleasure to read your reply.

The comment are free as we don't know what we may discover besides what we already know exist.

Babylon 5 is next on my list(after having seen all episode of S.T. Discovery)

Not sure how things are now. When I was in Miami the best place for seafood was Joe's Seafood on the Miami River.

Elsewhere I thought the best and freshest seafood in this universe was found at any fine restaraunt on Taverneir, Marathon or Islamorada.

A bit straying of from pure classic SF, but if futuristic settings is your thing, make sure you do not miss the Panem trilogy (Hungergames). I consider it to be so sensational and have been emptionally so connected that I have watched the three movies five times in two years and red the book trilogy as well although it is a book from a girl's perspective and written for youth audience and teens. But I am not the only older Tomcat in doing so, the series has a widespread adult fan base as well. And that is for a reason. Its the by far most intelligent and ripe, mature coming-of-age teen-series out there, and it really had me feeling emotionally hit.



So be warned, it is heart-breaking as well - but not cheesy sentimental. I do not know another youth book that touches upon so adult, serious topics. Which sometimes can be a katarsis.
The cast is most excellecent from the first to the last role, Jennifer Lawrence and Woody Harrelson and Donald Sutherland outclassing themselves and delivering the full deal of their skill and capabilities, and so many smaller roles so superbly casted as well, many with new, young talents. The screenplay was done by the author of the novels (which pays off) and is very close to the novel and the origianl dialogues, in parts the nbooks dialogues are amost copied over, which is a very good choice. Everything matches, the cast was in best acting mood.


You can easily see and I openly admit that I am a confessing Panem fan. Just thinking of it gets me a lumb in my throat.



For the younger generations I think it teaches very very valuable lessons. And far more valuable and realistic lessons than this stupid girlie from Sweden has in her psychopathological Rucksack.



In Asia, years ago crowds demonstrating and showing the Panem rebel hand greeting sign, made a junta panicking and having hundreds and thousands arrested, not sure where it was, I think already back then Myanmar, but it could have been another place, too. The moral of that novel cannot be liked by any political leadership, dictatorial or "democratic" alike.



Its foru movies, the third novel was done in two movies. The stories are not separate, the three parts belong together and must be watched/red in sequence.

I'll say it is some of the BEST Pizza I've had in my travels.
I did a demo job at The Mall at Whitney Field once so I can attest!


There is a place in Romney, West Virginia that makes a pretty good Pizza also.
Italian Touch.

Now. My favorite pizza is from my Village. It's home so that is probably why.
For me? Everything is better when I'm home. A burger cooked on an outdoor grill tastes better at home.
On Sea food? I'm not a fish eater! Didn't even like shrimp until a trip to Maui. BEST Coconut Shrimp I ever had!
I've still not had any as good in all my travels.

Best Steak? I was part owner of some Black Angus We raised here in Ohio.
Grass fed, free range with no chemical injections or such!
Butchered to order.
I need to do a few more!

Cool. I remember when that mall was first built. They called it Searstown back then.

I'm not sure about avoiding the apocalypse, but I do know something about how we would navigate. It's not too dissimilar to navigating by the stars on Earth. That's why they put a sextant on the Apollo spacecraft.
