Personally I see no connection between the MSR and the crewed missions. The ability to deliver ground absolutely doesn't mean ability to fly there and back again, due to absolutely different scale of problem. While a crewed mission could collect, sort, and study in situ as much ground specimens, as a whole century of rare MSR missions. Absence of the traces of life at one place, tells nothing about its presence at others. Thus, doesn't give a green light for the crewed missions anyway. At the same time, a crewed lander is not an injection of virus, which would immediately start spreading around and occupying the planet.

Low-g increases the decalcification of bones rate. On the other hand, in low-g they need the hip joints much less. In zero-g - almost never.

Calling 911 from the Vault 119.

"A chewing gum? Here?"

"We call this engine NASAL Spray for its exhaust."

As an AI language model? Definitely. Why did Tattooine have two suns?

The famous cyclopic stone wall of Machu Picchu after "thousand years" and one heavy rain. https://whc.unesco.org/en/news/580 And thousands of other photos and videos of the "ancient" temples and statues, cracked or being destroyed by IS in Mesopotamia. Casted concrete as "stones", steel or cast iron rebar (from the Bronze Age, yeah) inside the "stones", huge monoliths hanging in air definitely without any support (except an invisible rebar), iron rebar and disks inside the "Ancient Egyptian" and "Ancient Greek" columns, booted junk inside the "stones", pictures and paintings of XVI...XIX great artists who definitely hadn't seen real "Ancient Egyptian" pyramids, temples, and paintings. Old pictures of giant Stonehenge in wild mountains, while the real one is small, situates on a bare meadowland, and was an artillery range in mid-XX. Myriads of "ancient" photo-realistic statues, being found one-by-one in a kitchen-garden. All significant temples, castles, cathedrals, intensively rebuilt since XVI, and especially in XIX. Cologne Cathedral of XII... Wait... Being a semi-built something without towers on the early XIX photos, built in late XIX. The Sphinx, depictied as a head on a standalone block by the XIX artists, a set of four standalone blocks of stones and construction junk on the late XIX photo, and becoming a lion "made of monolith rock", with added limbs and tail, with the rear part reinforced with bricks. Many, many other "ancient ruins" of the "antique civilisations". Pompeii and Herculanum, officially (even on the silver memorial table) buried by Vesuvius eruption in 1631, and unburied several decades later as an ancient Roman town, described by Tacitus. Wait, but how we do know about the Tacitus itself? A miracle! Nobody else, by famous Petrarca had occasionally found his manuscripts in the derelict monastery. What a coincidence. What a pity, the manuscript itself and Petrarca's translation are lost, only printed version exists. Where do we know about Sparta and its weird sadistic (but actually true stupid and unreaslistic for long time) macho rituals? From Pausanias. And where do we know from about Pausanias? From the XV printed version of (guess, what? yes, lost) his manuscript. A strange fact, it was the epoch of "utopic socialism" fantasies of all kinds, and Sparta looks exactly like another one of them, just with strong homosadistic background. Usually they just blow somebody with powder, or something like that, and divide the ideal city populations in stratas of "damoiselles", "mesdamoiselles", "damoisels", and so on. Probably written for the local Blue Oyster club, or so, but popularized for the sake of military inspiration. Easter Island with its statues, never painted correctly until early XX, and mentioned as "I wished so much to see them, but had seen nothing" by Miklouho-Maclay, the famous daredevil scientist and traveller. Famous Otto von Guericke (XVII), and his experiments with primitive electrostatic generators and primitive vacuum pumps. Coincidentally same as Thales of Miletus and Hero of Alexandria. What a pity, we don't know the century of their lives (from V BC to III AD, iirc). Did they even exist? Triremes made of thin planks (when they even didn't have steel saws, thin and flexible, with teeth looking aside), no one of which was ever found. Wait... One was. In Italy. But lost in fire under bombs, what a pity. *** Everything before XV looks like a belles-lettres, and theatric scenery. Probably is. The super-duper cyclopic stones recipe: gather expendable humans (peasants and prisoners), make them carry baskets. You need: lime (made of limestone, easily crashable even without tools, with another piece of limestone, if the labour force is not what you care about; if no limestone, just burn the bones of eaten cattle) milled beautiful stone (granite, sandstone, marble, whatever else, you want to make the result look like); sand; water; organic component (any glue from boiled butchery junk, fish, etc; dead labourers are also good enough; for artifical marble they use cheese); Mix, then put an empty bag made of straw to the wall (it will decay after several years without traces), and start filling it with layers of the wet concrete, letting it harden. To make its front and side faces flat use bended metal (copper, lead, aluminium) sheets. Don't forget to pull them out, otherwise you get those aluminium sheets between the ancient egyptian stones. If you want a curvy hole through the stone monolith, put a rope soekd with gypsum, let them get solid, they pull the rope away. Bingo, you have a stone with a hole made by magic worm, exactly like King Solomon did it. The same with sword-in-stone or ironhook-in-stone.- Or pour it into a clay form, made from wax model of the human model. (Why, do you think, the antique statues are always shaved and have small man parts? The wax melting point is 60 C hot, then you have to cool down to let the wax get solid, and finally, if you haven't shaved, a sudden depilation happens. The models were hardly able to see the sculptor without panic.) *** Now imagine that you are, say, Rodrigo Borgia aka Pope Alexander VI. (Taken just as an example, being known for his soft humour and kind jokes, often lethal for the opponents.) The museum overseer has brought a wooden-microlith German sword (can't find the photo, looks exactly like the "Ancient Greek xyphos"). You have two cubic metres of bronze, i.e. ~16 t. "What else ancient to make? Another big bronze statue? Too trivial. A fountain? Too much water is needed. Stop, an idea." You call the head artist and give him the wooden-stone sword and the bronze. "It's autumn now. I want 10 000 of them in bronze by the spring. And use your imagination, let them be different and old". Now you are the artist. You go to the museum, take several strange-looking tools, like khopesh and so on. A sword weights 1.5 kg. You need 10 000 of them You make a clay form for several swords, and all winter long the workshop is melting bronze and casting swords. Boys are breaking and scratching the, put into vinegar, to make them old. By the winter the 10 000 swords sre ready. Now you're again Borgia. You call 10 archbishops and tell them: "Dear comrades, the Party wants you to distribute 1 000 swords everyone". Every archbishop returns to his residence and calls 10 bishops. "Comrades, the Party wants you to take a hundred of swords and distribute in your region." Every bishop calls 10 abbots and orders them to take and bury ten swords. Every abbot call several priests, gives to each a bronze sword and says "Hide it somewhere". Then he calls the obedientiary, gives him other swords and tells the same. The obedientiary hides one between wine barrels, buries another one under a tree, goes to the inn and sells the rest to the locally known thief, who sells them to the people who pay for them. Next year the whole Europe is full of ancient xyphoses and khopeshes, in amounts, about which the Agamemnon and Tutankhamen could only dream, because where should they take 15 t of good bronze...

Calling 911 because they are the only one, who is not trying to kill you. Yet. Until your call.

The WH40k bolt-guns are nodding here.

Why not? They are round, bright, and beautiful. Also, not always. In Cloverfield they were hiding under the bridge, and missed everything interesting above. (Though, it didn't help them much.) No doubts, that every Fallout food is sterilized with gamma-rays after packing. (At least because the nuka-setting noblesse oblige.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_irradiation So, probably the only questionable item is the canister itself. Either healed, or enjoyed. Nothing can be the Terminator canon since they had changed the future in T2. Only possible timelines. Upd. The abnormal resistance to radiation in Fallout is somehow related to the FEV, which is present everywhere. As the Fallout wiki says, the original Fallout creators didn't have a consensus about the ghoul origin. From time to time they accused either radiation, or FEV. Happily, now we have the clear answer.

Why at all need the rock samples on the Earth so much, like if they are made of diamonds. A heavy laboratory in situ would probably study everything required to know about the difference between the Martian and the Earthian regular rocks.

Granted. Everyone creates two more user accounts. I wish for Fallout parts and decorations in KSP.

Yes. They even can return you to the state of an innocent toddler. What Australia? Had anyone heard about Australia in Fallout? As the Dog is immortal, can we just start attaching the Fatman nukes to it, sending it forward, then reusing the resurrected Dog?

Calling 911 to ask, where should you put the depleted fission battery from your kitchen.

Maybe you should not add so much species to it. Waiter! What's your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. meal?
