They go forever and don't need food. By this point, I think the Americans have proven - not without exceptions, for sure - that they are basically able to keep a handful of naked apes alive as they whizz around the planet a few hundred times, doing basic science stuff, taking nice photos, and chatting to schoolkids over the radio. However, since there is nowhere else for people to go really, it's more than time to do something else. As you say, let's do more of the stuff that involves going where people will never be able to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me old fashioned but where the missions take 20 or 30 years just to finance, get someone single maybe. Makes it all a lot easier. It just makes me want it to all blow up when silly words removed look out the window and then to a little teddy they brought with them to ******* Mars, just to remind them & I hate them. If a scene doesn't have the words attack, laser, airlock or similar, then **** it off. What about Armageddon ? Chick who can not see his Son (probably knocked his Mrs about in all fairness) who then recognises Dad is part of the team to save the Earth, Harry telling AJ to look after Grace as he saves the Earth, Aerosmith ballad in the background .

HanoiVillan Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I actually really like some of Aerosmith's earliest songs, when they had a very raw, urgent sound, but by the time of Armaggedon they seem to me to have been mostly expendable pap, and that song is an ear-bleeder.

KenjiOgiwara Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 PMS. The stuff I get crucified for sometimes. Boggles the mind. I guess I don't do the situations any good when my immidiate reaction always is laughter. But still... sometimes I wish I could videotape the wackadoodleness for proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it got fixed entirely for you, I consider you a lucky man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I like black pens, not in a league of gentlemen pen type way but if they write black in a constant smooth line I am happy. I don't lend or borrow. But, I was recently give a free pen at work from a supplier. Looks the part, nice rubbery grip thing. Nice black ink but the little ball thing moves and sort of clicks a little bit when you lift it off the paper, I am guessing but its about 0.3 mm. Unusable now. Disappointing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my own pens in the house, when I find a good one I tend to bulk buy so I have the same style throughout a year book of notes and sketches. If I go to a meeting and forget a pen, I just don’t bother taking notes with some nasty borrowed blue biro schizz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I'm also pertnickety about pens. I have my drawing pens for assignments from Faber and Castell at 0.5mm. I can't use any other as they seem to scratchy or run out after drawing too much. My note-writing pen is always a bic 'round stic' medium because they're smooth. For important documents I use my Cross pen with black ink. Edited September 9, 2020 by AVFC_Hitz Ayan Sadakov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
