Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Now you see, I think you're missing out there - I fully intend to request a copy of the tape (and it had better be in HD with 7.1 surround sound) - I mean, the comedy potential is huge! A little editing and there'll be little tribes of moomins setting up house in my colon, velociraptors soaring through the cavernous wastes, and as the voyage progresses my boss's face will loom out of the darkness - then I can talk to some work chums and have it projected on our outdoor video tower in Times Square. Flippin' ace!!

My innocent schoolboy humour comment has just taken a turn into hell.

One of the best arguments (I think) for continued space exploration is that we need to colonise. How badly (or goodly) we take care of the planet(s) is a valid question but doesn't remove the need for expansion.
Definitely not the answer or the most logical approach to the (grave) problem, imho.
It's certainly logical: not enough room => go and find more room. And it's a lot more ethical than population control. Sure it's a long way off being practical yet but that's what research is for. Do you have an alternative solution?
Incidentally the patterns on Curiosity's wheels spell out JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where it was built) in Morse code.

Oh that's clever
Even cleverer, if you look really carefully at the nearest mountain (best on a big monitor) you can still see a fold-up chair with "Paul Verhoeven" written on the back of it.

Got to love MilSpeak. Do you think they use the same sort of language at home?
"Honey, there has been a catastrophic termination of the helically-ridged fastener subsystem of the sub-shelf right-angular support apparatus resulting in a precipation of mono-secured cellulose-based material all over the living room floor."
