The money or the moon?

[onearmedbandit]

Wow, the guy only asked whether you'd choose the money or the moon.

It's people with brains time of night though, without the trolling we can discuss on a mature level, with those on the same intellectual wave length, a meeting of the shepards so to speak, as opposed to a grazing of the flock.

To the moon??? Fuck I don't even need the guarantee that I'll be safe. If you don't take risks what's the point of life. I'll take moon over money any day if something was to stop me going to the moon it better be heck a lot more than 1million

What is it that makes you want to go to the moon though.

What is achived by going to a piece of space junk.

It is an adventure you would remember for a lifetime indeed, but one enjoyed alone and only once.

I can think of many ways to spend a million dollars that would not just give me an adventure, but me and all the people i care about happier more stressvfree lives, pay off my parents mortgage etc.

And if you cannot see the irony of the word "only" , you have no place here. Begone.

[onearmedbandit]

What's irony.

Ironing, need two hands for it.

What is it that makes a motorcyclist want to go through a corner faster than anyone else has ever before?

The challenge. The fact that it is NOT sensible. Staying home and working for the Man and paying off the mortgage, yes that is the sensible option.

But throughout human history , there have been a few, a very few men (sorry ladies, almost never women) who have said "fuck sensible"

And done what was eminently not sensible. Whether that be trying to take that corner at 150kph (when every sensible person says it can't be done beyond 90) ; or sailing westward to go east; or travelling to the Moon (though the Moon is old hat, I listened to the first landing, I want Mars).

People ar eeither sensible and prosaic and dreary. Or, the other sort. You either hear the whisper of the siren , or you don't. Thos ewho do, are invariably derided as fools and idiots, Except the few who succeed in achieving their impossible dream.They go into the history books as heroes.

The impossible dream, the thing many of "the flock" put in the too hard basket so to speak.

Where as for those determined enough to achieve thier own greatness, the thins that would make it impossible in the minds of most, the few see as a mere hurdle and well worth the effort to get there,

The challenge, many see chasing thier career etc as a challenge. The biggest challenge any of us can face flock, or shepherd is finding out who you are and what you want, for working and a career, is simply means to an end.

I repose my hope in the dolphins. Perhaps when mankind is extinct they will reach the stars.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

You don't seriously believe that bullshit conspiracy do you?

Nah....Governments would never mislead anybody, especialy not the Americans...
They only do what's best for us..... Ahh nevah had sex wid dat woman.."

But , why not an iPod with UNLIMITED storeage. An Ipod that could capture *you* , the being that you are , and store it for all time. Immortality.
.

I'm pretty sure it fits comfortably on the iPod as is , it's probably the shuffle feature that garbles it.......


He who can does, He who can't, teaches.......

Life becomes useless and insipid when we have no longer either friends or enemies.....

My life suddenly became a bit more usefull I would guess.....

Ive allways wanted to go to the sun....
Someone told me it would be to hot,,,and I would burn up.
Well,,,,think i have found an answer...
Build a rocket..and go at night time

This world and it's peoples live for the now and the me,I'm not sure we will ever have the will and imagination to reach beyond what we know, other than sticking an exploratory toe in the water.1969 and Apollo 11 inspired millions to look to the future and the stars and dream of a better tomorrow, it didn't come and I doubt it ever will,My dream dies with each successive war, each child that goes hungry,each power mad despot that kills people that may be a hindrance to his goals and aspirations.

We don't deserve a place among the stars until we are all that we can be.And the cosmos does not deserve mankind.

The moon is a cold harsh desolate and lonely lonely place.I can find that in the parts department at my local bike shop.

Show me the money!

Steel is quite irony.
