The Engineering of Mars...

... fluffy dangley things for prrrrrrrrreference if you can get 'em.

We'll even send an additional little robot along just to keep them fluffy. Now are you in or do we take your giraffe by force?

Nooooo not Giraffey ...

Wash yor hands of him Del.

You should be PUNished for that. PUNitive measures! Put in a PUNitentiary even. Officer, oPUN the gate and throw 'im in!

My padded cell is quite comfortable. They tricked me about the jacket being 'armless' though.

I think ET's are already scrapping here. Some were supposed to have plotted a landing in russia aboard a meteor, and others shot them down. Probably the same ones that did for Peru. Holy green nasal flashes, it's thread synchronicity !

"You (or someone else on the same network) has done this operation too many times." !!!!!!

Well, that explains it.

....I 'topped-out' the other day for some reason and got that message. Remember how the PM system failed occasionally a while back before mgaulin tweaked it ? Now somebody has commented, I will change it. Elementary my dear europium.

Nice poem!

What fascinates me with google, is that any randomly selected words can be put together and lead to a link. I crap you not, I just tried 'Kris moon' and 'Del moon' ! Hows about "procrastinating pachyderms" ? Yup ! I think google have a place to try this sport, but I can't recall it's name. Ha. ON no, sorry but I do.

Curiously, the crosshairs are just about centered on Eden, Texas. Gonna drive those buggers out with a flaming sword?

Couldn't see your links europium. Face it, little critters built poly-tunnels and pyramids. Probably to appease the Giraffe Gods. A plan exists, but all you guys and gals may do better.

Some time back, europium acquired a test candidate. I am beginning to suspect that test flights were not successful and another 'volunteer was found.

Removing that distinctive moustache is fooling nobody. Come back Del, it's not worth the risk ! Remember Laika ?

A long time ago, Brit TV revealed current progress in a TV documentary. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Ahhh whirling tape spools, jump suits.... ^sigh

Yep! I had that same model car in 1980. Me and Emma Peel would drive around for hours talking about John Steeds weird sexual tastes.

OK the show aired briefly in the States. So please explain a few things to me...

1. Where were the aliens from?
2. What did they want?
3. And whatever happened to them?

The show wasn't on the air long enough to answer any of these questions!

1,2,3, It doesn't matter ! Check out Lt Ellis and co. It's all here, including the groovy music. The fact that Clangers were knitted never detracted from my belief. We Brits had the Moon covered way before you lot.

So boo!!!

ner, ner ! Wanna chance Thunderbirds ?

I demand one of those scooters! (have you finished studying my link yet? )

Del

?

LMAO

Heck! I remember all the puppet ones!

can't see the strings on your avatar....

Julie Andrews knows, but you will have to search. snot easy.

Oh my ...

Surely you have a collar as well ? It was purely scientific interest that drew me to UFO. .Let's do for 'em Del.

Who owns Mars ? Maybe we should seek permission before planning this epic enterprise.

I loved Dr. Who, but whay did all these old Sci-Fi shows have to include some guy named "Jet!"

Sometimes in the movie world, directors use the name 'Ed Wood' to hid their shame over a bad end result. In Welsh Fiction, Idris 'Jet' Jetson wrote appaling SF books. His moniker is used in a similar fashion. I am related to Francis Bacon, and my middle name is Peter.

You sure you haven't got that confused with this guy?

!

Nice, but I want to see Sylvester get that little cheeping Bas***d Tweetie Bl**dy Pie

You know, you can use the word "bloody" because no one except the English know what you're referring to, and it's been liberally broadcast all over the world without concern. As far as we know, it just sort of means, like "what the hell!"

Yes I can ... but may I ?

Mr I. B Pedantic

May I 'should' you ? That word gets people so up-tight. Yea, he he.

Yes, you may, and yes, you should. You bloody excuse for a feline!!!

Bloody hell I may say fanny with impunity in the US.... but not here!

Very interesting! I can count on the fingers of 5,000 hands the number of times I've heard mothers use fanny as a social and polite (and childish) way of referring to their child's buttocks.

Brillian link Del ! My cloven hooves are curling in delight.

Oh my, indeed! I remember that episode!!!

Ah, Emma Peel. My first TV crush. But I did like John Steed's bowler hat & pimp cane.

Look at my link #144 if you want to top up the crush !

That was a "Bumbershoot."

the only fast way to get volatiles to mars is selected comets of the right composition to be brought into grazing orbits where they would break apart and vapourize with little to no surface impact damage. There are certainly water ice comets. Are here O2, N2 and CO2 ice comets? methan comets? There may be. There may be mized comets. Even a non breathable atmosphere would act as a screen for radiation and trap solar heat. With 10% CO2 you may get earthlike temperatures, but you would need to wear an oxygen mask. less CO2 an denough O2 you could walk the surface.

Time frame, it will not start for 150 years or so, as we need to become space capable for this type of thing

Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo
You can have me hat or me bumbershoot
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.

OK, I'll bite... What is "me ol' bam-boo" in Limy talk?! Some kind of Cockney rhyming slang that means something private about one's anatomy?

Welll.....the first bit translates as 'my old'. I'm not sure if they considered bamboo a 'grass' back then, or thought of it as 'wood'. I confess to being equally confused, but I think it's chimney related.

'Oh, woul'den it be luvurly' is another strange song quote. I blame Dick van Dyke. He's American isn't he ? Your ball.

Chim Chim Cher-oo rhymes with "bamboo?!"

Dick had bamboo poles for cleaning chimneys. It rhymes as well, which is nice. His Cockney accent was a little bit iffy though. Gor blimey guv !

Hang on, if he had lots and lots (they screw together those poles) , well he could reach up and up and up......The sky may not be the limit after all !

Hope it's got matching Khaki shorts to go with that pith helmet.

That's a hard hat, you dope!!!

It doesn't look that hard to me. If the Giraffe meant business it would have a steel rimmed Bowler/Derby/Coke, and a vicious sneer. Possibly leather shorts would look hard, but I don't think it could slap its thighs in the traditional manner- it's hooves would get tangled up.
