Trust me, after WWIII nobody is going anywhere using any technology other than carving rocks into wheels again.   :-\

well obviously you have not been watching Star Trek...we are gonna be fine! (Gene Roddenberry wouldn't lie to us!!)

(actually - and don't laugh - but I am buying heirloom seeds so when we get in really bad shape we will have plants that regenerate themselves instead of those that you buy at the store that only last one season..)


not that I am paranoid or anything...

I guess I've watched the Planet of the Apes too many times.    LOL

gotta love the Ape men....

my favorite sci fi is short stories that destroy everything...you know end of the world, end of civilization...cheerful stuff like that!

How long do those heirloom seeds last?

Gene Roddenberry, Planet of the Apes, Jericho...Mad Max

Well, like in the words of the song from "Beyond Thunderdome"

"They always said that the living would envy the dead"

I hope I'm not around to use those heirloom seeds.  It ain't going to be pretty, whatever is left.

you mean if you don't use them? for a while....I intend to start planting them so I will have my own seeds. The plants you buy from the store (or seeds)? the seeds from the fruit that grows won't grow right. they are too fragile.

Hi Artiste! :D

What do you mean we've already lived there? You mean the moon?  ???  ???

Yes, it probably will be quite common someday to travel to space. In fact Richard Branson, owner of the British company Virgin Airlines is already taking steps towards it....

You can read about it here....

I would visit other planets if it were possible...I understand the practical space/times problems with interstellar travel, but I remain convinced we're on the verge of inventing the warp drive and living in a Star Trek world...boldly going, etc...
