I found this quote and I just had to add it here, if nothing else perhaps
to help further explain the old Communist "grand" view of existence. This is from Mao regarding nuclear war on Earth: "...this might be a big thing for the solar system, but it would still be an insignificant matter as far as the universe as a whole is concerned." Taken from the New York Times book review of his biography Mao by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/23/books/re...html?8bu&emc=bu -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

GregM:
You'd not want to pollute the precious bodily fluids of the Europans, oh no. Although I have to admit that your images of Mr Pickens did make me want to emit a loud whoop! Hehe. Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

Hmm, I wonder what the fluoride levels in Europa's oceans are.

Let me also say I find the idea of exploring Europa with Nuke bombs completely ridiculous, I'm actually a fan of nuclear power but some of the fanatic nuclear-nuts clearly have a few screws loose. Not only are some of us now considering to perhaps put life on Earth in danger through foreign xenobilogy and failing to adequetely secure our sample return missions from Space ( Genesis going smash ) we also have people proposing we use thermonuclear bombs to eradicate life on Europa before we find it
