Yes, there is a very, very good scientific base to think that
basic martian soil in chemically active. They did get some
chemical reaction on the Viking mission experiments.


I've got a book entirely about the Viking biology experiments and the
conclusion that superoxides were what was giving the strange results of
them- "The Search For Life On Mars" by Henry SF Cooper Jr.
I still think it would be great to get a sample of Lunar soil that's
never been exposed to oxygen, and see what it's like in chemical
formulation prior to being exposed to any atmosphere.

Are you the same Pat Flannery who posts nonsense and doggerel?



Nono- this is Pat Flannery. He pronounces his name "Pat Flannery". The Pat
Flannery that posts nonsense and doggerel pronounces his name "Pat
Flannery". Slight difference in pronounciation.



I'm still surprised he didn't fish a Sonic Screwdriver out of his bag
off tools.
Actually, it's spelled "Pat Flannery", but it's pronounced
"Throatwarbler Mangrove". We are all "Throatwarbler Mangrove".
Except for James Oberg...James Oberg is The One. :-)

The problem here is that you are characterizing
"aromatic vegetables" as "spices."

Rhon,
You have to remember that Pat is from the Dakotas. Out there (As it
was growing up as a kid in Northern New England, also known for its
adventurous cuisine) Salt is a Spice. Green Bell Peppers are
unbelievably exotic. What doesn't come out of a Cow is most likely
Scandahoovian in origin.

Could be worse, could be New Brunswick, Canada, Eh?, where if it
doesn't come from underneath the ground or the inside of a cow, they
won't eat it. i thought my mother's cooking (See Northern New
England, above) was bland, until I ate my Mother-in-Law's forage.

Big-ass snip that basically says that if the US Space Command

"Shock! Shock!"

But where does Dark Lord Cheney say NASA fits into this?

But the evil Space Force! What about the evil Space Force?

We;'re waiting for GASCAP to finish the royalty negotiations for the
new Patrol Anthem = "Our Patrol", a tune that brings a tear to teh
eye of anyone hearing it. (It's really that bad)

And an evil US Space Force is born!
Sound the Imperial March!

We'll stick with "Our Patrol" - especially after Dr. Bergenholm sorts
out the sublminals.

Er... "rule space"...?
Cue the Imperial March again!

How many time do I have to...
By Klono's Chomium Claws, do I have to send Mr. DeKalb and Mr. DeCatur
over to talk with you? Your mind says you'd rather I didn't.
Well, that, and the Catgirls.

Actually... the US Space Force will rule space the same way the US
Army rules the land, the US Navy rules the sea, and the way the US
Air Force rules the air. So what else is new?

Serious question: Are you getting your peyote buttons from the same
place Kyle gets his mescaline?

Thinoite I suspect. Pat Flannery, Zwilnik? Hmmm.
