did i read that last part right? we've lost 20 soldiers in the last 10 days, or are they referring to last may?

either way its ridiculous. we're not even doing anything over there. just standing around mostly. this is ridiculous.

Nice bit of fanfic there Auto. You get major points for fitting some nice personality into so few lines. 👆

Recommending a cool review series to you goons. Its a seriously badass and heartwarming look back on Power Rangers, so if you have any memories or like me are just interested, check it out, tis kewl. I am unashamed to say that I teared up at one bit in the 'In Space' review. bawling

I was reasonably happy myself considering I wrote that in five minutes.

Is it just me or does the general fiction area at KMC kind of suck? Apparently the people that frequent the section are too cool to comment on other people's stories/ideas.

I don't think anyone really frequents it. Would you like us to go comment on your story excerpt? 'Cuz I think its kinda nifty.

I thought so too. 😄

Lol, Dirt p0rnz:

'Roran knelt down and slowly dragged his hands through the nearly virgin soil. It'd hadn't been marched upon by the filthy boots of the enemy, it was still fresh and clean. With a gentle hand he lifted up a tiny bit, just between his fingers, watching as it flowed back to the earth where it came from, where it belonged. The remaining crumbs he pressed to his lips, tongue flicking out to tasted it delicately. He savored the taste. Such a fine bouquet of flavor he'd never tasted. It was full of the earth. Everything he could want in one heady taste, sending a slight groaning longing in him. He wanted to plow deep into this soil and reap crops from it. Over and over, this is what he should be doing here, not trampling over it like some sort of beast, but taking care of it. Loving it dearly. Put his full sweat and muscles into it every day, pushing dearly. Until he finally collapsed, empty and ruined til the next morning.'

Oh my! Gettin' hot in here!

Arg... getting from Titan to Ceres in a reasonable amount of time is a pain in the ass.

If I opt for a basic dirty fusion rocket with a deuterium+tritium reaction, I get a craptastic 0.005G and a delta V of a pathetic 12 mps (miles per second.)

The trip to from Titan to Ceres is roughly 12 AU, or 1,795,176,000 kilometers. Assuming favorable conditions, it would take me at least three years to travel the distance. That is not even taking into account the mass of radiator panels and extra fuel tanks for increased delta V, along with radiation shielding in the form of hydrocarbon plastics, tungsten, and liquid hydrogen tanks.

This is why we don't have afternoon shuttles to Titan.

I thought about an Antimatter Pion rocket, but the acceleration would still suck (since mass ratios are ugly as hell,) although the delta V would be greater.

I think I'll go with an antimatter plasma rocket with hydrogen fuel boosted by antimatter. The resulting plasma can be focused out the back as reaction mass using a magnetic nozzle.

Of course that would produce deadly gamma radiation and upset radical Environmentalists as I leave a trail of exhaust several million degrees kelvin.

The greatest sports event in human history starts in 12 hours!! THE WORLD CUP WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Anyone else as excited? I've taped every game since 1994 and this is no exception, will be watching every game yet again.

YESSSSS!!!!!!!

very excited! 😄

who are you gunning for beefy?

Since I'm diehard EPL, England for sure, although they left off Michael Owen(injury). I've always been a fan of Brazil but Dunga has lost his mind, leaving off Ronaldinho and Ronaldo. I still say Brazil and Spain are the favorite, but Spain is known to constantly choke. England underachieves but I really hope they make it to the final. I also bet $100 on a USA-England tie, so if it happens, I get something like $600.

mY PREDICTION:

Chile has to cross some oceans to get to the stadium, so they were going to have to pay for airfare/ocean liner tickets anyway. They have a ride. Spain, on the other hand, is part of the contiguous landmass housing the World Cup stadium. Naturally the team will have to walk. This leaves Chile with an alert, fresh team while Spain's players will be exhausted from their several thousand mile trek.
