    With all NASA's hoopla from landing tonka toys on Mars to take pictures of the Sunset, this discovery is all due to the Europeans. Someone needs to tell Trump, we have a space probe gap.

    Wouldn't it be awesome if the news networks (like ANY of them) reported on this kind of stuff? Instead we get 24 hours worth of coverage on our president.

    This news is huge if the data is correct and can't be emphasized enough -- a slushy liquid salt water lake on Mars... not a billion year old frozen chunk of ice, but a liquid subterranean aquifer.

    The *hint* of that happening would make us go back
    The Moon is considered 'Our' colony isn't it

    I will go read the article but I was wondering what took so long :D

    But once they got to know each other, he always had Axel Foley's back. Plus he was smart enough not to appear in the 3rd film.

    I'm too lazy to google...I thought the premise of BHC2 was that he was killed and Axel was avenging his murder. Or was he just shot? Damnit now I have to google search it. You may be right. I do remember stereotypical angry police chief being fired at the end

    EDIT: dangit you are right. But on the bright side I now have the Bob Seger "Shakedown" chorus stuck in my head.

    It'd be nice, but unfortunately no (on us owning anything)... I think eventually if space explorations and actual bases/colonies get setup it'd be interesting since it would challenge the UNs stance and this looney guy https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/03/25/meet-the-man-who-owns-the-moon

    Mars is the closest it's been to earth since 2003 and won't be this close again until 2035. Beautiful large red star in the southern sky tonight and next few nights.

    I have a vivid memory of that black and white spread in Playboy, which I have somewhere in a box, but here's Sharon being interviewed by David Letterman in '93, who's doing everything short of drooling. It's pretty funny.

    That's actually the interview I tried to post. Somehow I didn't manage it. Got the year wrong, as well. Thanks! Dave looked like he wanted to climb into her lap at one point, and can't say I would blame him if he did. She's supposed to have an amazingly high IQ. At that point in her career, Sharon was both smart and sexy as hell. Still looks good for her age, even today.
