His profile says male twice. If I don't know someone's gender I look at their profile instead of asking them because it's an insulting question. What if someone asked you that question?

True, the way he is posing makes it seem he could be female because of his smooth face and blonde hair but still....

Apologies to Robin2007 for talking about you like you're not here. Sorry, I didn't mean to do that.

I'm not bothered as long as they don't keep me past the due date. If they do the over due fines are outrages.




MirrorMirror, I'm going to follow you around the forums and see where you go when no one is looking. I want to know if you're real or just a computer worm created by the mingle2 staff to keep the forums moving by asking every question known to mankind.

Laughing at and insulting people is not the best way to increase forum traffic now is it? Shame on you

Yes, it's true, the op guy is a little grumpy but still...

What do you want to talk about? I came from the site you mentioned and they do want to talk there but the moderators are far too strict. This place seems nicer and more relaxed although a heck of a lot slower.

I think you just need to build up a circle of friends here if you want to talk a lot. It seems they don't talk much to new people but I see you have been here awhile so I am wondering why you don't already have friends here? Maybe you have to invest more time if you want to get good conversation.

btw, You wouldn't happen to be a nice guy, would you?

I'm not the going to Mars type at least until they invent a way to do it as easily as getting on an airplane and flying to Warsaw.
I'll be just as happy to see an astronaut step foot there in my lifetime.
Who knows what wonders we may discover on Mars once we arrive?

Mirrormirror, do you live inside the mingle2 forums? I see you everywhere .
Do you work for the mingle2 administration or are you some kind of computer bug that crawls the mingle2 circuits?

Are you saying you forgot to study again Waterloosunset? bad dog.
If you're nice I'll let you do a make up test after school.

The planning happened while President Clinton was in office, this has been confirmed by the government.
I think Bush for many things and I'm sure the people of Iraq, especially the Kurds, do too.

President Clinton had opportunities to stop OBL but refused to take the action needed. If President Bush had the same opportunities to stop OBL as President Clinton had, Pres Bush certainly would have done so.

Would we still have it stuffed?

I don't eat much bacon but when I do I check and go for the meatiest one. I dislike cooking the bacon and finding out I picked a package with all fat.
I thought everyone does that?

We have not been attacked in this country again since 9/11.
I thank Mr. President Bush for that and I hope President Obama can keep the country as safe.

They are not scrapping the shuttle too soon. It's too old and needs to go. We only have 2 of 4 left and we can't risk any more terrible disasters like Columbia and Challenger. The problem is they didn't get the new one up and running fast enough.

Abracadabra, I am sure the Trip has a lot of science that needs to be solved first and the steps you mentioned, moon base, better transport, are all necessary.
It just seems we are not making any progress in that direction.

NASA needs clear cut goals and something to focus on. They mostly seem to flounder around right now because of lack of funding and their own mistakes. There's even going to be a huge gap between the old shuttle and the new shuttles so we have to have the Russians provide us with transport to the base. How bad is that?

When the weather is nice I love a late picnic outside in an open field or park followed by laying on our backs stargazing and talking, preferably about the stars and what not.

The only place I want to go is sleep but for some reason sleep eludes me tonight. The forums seem to have no problem sleeping. I even went back to my old stand-by forum and it was slow.
Maybe everyone is bundled up from the cold with that special someone. All I have is an oversized stuffed animal.

I think going to a website and introducing yourself by telling people they can read about you on a competing website might be considered bad form. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

If a lady asked you about yourself would you tell her to call up your ex girlfriend for information?


Welcome to MINGLE2

Private industry would work for giving people orbital rides around the planet and there are already companies gearing up for this.
For a mission as big as a Mars landing you would need the government's involvement.

If Obama where really intelligent he would inspire the country with a plan to go to Mars soon. The way Kennedy did with the moon in the 60's.
The amount of money needed isn't all that much when you consider how the government waste it's money now days. We spent all that money bailing out the banks and now the government doesn't even know where it went. ............ I know little yellow man, sorry.

I think many people would be interested if NASA where doing more than sending out unmanned robots. Only people like me are interested in the unmanned missions. Many more when get behind a manned mission to Mars if they saw it actually happening.

I bet a lot of people would get really excited to be alive and to witness the first footsteps from man on another planet. Especially a planet so wound up in science fiction folk lore such as Mars.
The moon landing was an exciting moment for the people who witnessed it, or so I read and heard. A Mars landing would really inspire people.

When I was a child and I read about the moon landing I assumed people would soon get to travel in space, not just astronauts, but common everyday people. Years ago there was talk about going to mars but with the economy and an excessively liberal new president you can be sure NASA is dead in the water.

I do get excited about the unmanned missions and I follow them with great interest. I just wish for more.
If the 60's space race hadn't ended I wonder how far mankind would have gone into space.

China said they are going to send a man to the moon. Let's hope so for nothing will get NASA more funding faster than a Chinese flag on the moon and the threat of another country going to Mars first.

There's a question in here somewhere. .....The title, there it is Anyone else disappointed in our space program?

Bonus question. What earth bound problems might we have solved if we had continued the space race? NASA has been responsible for some of the technology we have today.
