Odd choice for their lunch fare. Turkey Chile and Chicken Salad. Trying to send a liittle message?

I wouldn't expect any fireworks. More like somewhat forced politeness and a photo op for both. The President is doing this to give the appearance he is reaching out, but Romney's got no leverage anymore, even in his party. No political cachet. He's just another rich guy. OK, filthy rich guy.

Waste of time and money.

Less than 1% of the density of Earth's and nearly all CO2. Mars can't hold onto an atmosphere because it has no active magnetic core. That's it. Nothing either you or I say will change that.

And the point would be what? Wanderlust? We have very, very big problems to be taken care of at home.There are times when I feel the need to give certain members on this board a dope slap upside the head. Fix it here. First. Then maybe I'll believe we have the skills to take our act somewhere else.

It's insignifact. Less than 2% ours, closer to one, and nearly all CO2. Mars doesn't have an active core magnet. It's dead. Which means it can't hold onto an atmospere because solar winds would sweep it away in a heart beat. Get it?

You're either joking or insane. Of course it could also be both.

I liked George. He struck me as a kind of guy you could go to a ballgame with, have a couple beers and a hotdog or two. His qualifications to be President I'm less sure. He was a good old boy. Romney is a fraud. Thank god the country saw through his act.

C'mon, Fred. No reason to gloat. The man lost, and it came as a big bloody shock to him. It's done and done. Leave it be.

No, I'm sure it wasn't. Neither is ours. In other words, were are not dead yet. Mars is.

Significant? It's less than 2% of our atmosphere. Mars has an average temperature of -50 degrees celsius. Dead planet.

Watch another Star Trek movie. It'll make you feel better.

Of course it has. It is also 200 times further from us than even our own moon. It isn't economically feasiible.

The top of your head. And here I would have thought that would have come come from a different part or your anatomy. Are you at all aware how far Mars is from the Earth? Mining? You've got to be kidding me.

You're an idiot. Go back to watching Star Wars vidioes
