Bet there's one on Mars somewhere, with cracks and everything.

Hmmmmm....

Well, mostly dead plants from I think the Devonian and Carboniferous, but yes.

Couldn't you just use CTRL+F?

It'd probably have to be... ...the size of the universe?

That is also where my mind immediately went.

Like those cute little feathery things I see on plants after a fog in winter here? But the size of a sauropod? The solar system is always full of surprises. What other wonders do those worlds hold?

SpaceX is really starting to master their camera artistry on those webcasts...Rocket firing, panning across a star field? Yeeeessssss! BFR should have a couple little camera probes, to fly next to it and transmit awesome footage.

Man, I've got to visit Scandinavia sometime...I've always had a feeling I won't get a chance to see aurora before I'm flying over it in a spaceship...

Because the thing you think is violet is actually just actual violet and red. source

What if BFR actually isn't perfect? An Apollo 13-esque incident in interplanetary space would make for an interesting story. There are plenty of systems that can fail. BFR would be used to construct large planetary and asteroid bases, and orbital-assembly spaceships that will make for new scenarios and challenges. Focus on those space operations if you don't want to focus on BFR. Other space companies will try to come up with competitors to BFR, and we'll end up with something like the airliner industry, where there are a number of manufacturers producing their own vehicles that are largely the same in principle.

uuuuhhhhh... I hope you were thinking of this kind of space announcer.

"or" is already a word which is commonly used, and doesn't have the same meaning as "our", so that distinction will stay. And I think it's far more likely for "your" to be replaced with "ur"...

You may have already started down the slippery slope...soon enough you'll be looking up F2L and 2LLL... I spent at least five years knowing only the beginner's method, and averaged 40-50 seconds during that time. Then I got a book detailing a method to get below 20 seconds, and learned random-ish algorithms from that book over the next few years. Eventually I got down to it and went all in learning 1-3 algorithms per day until I knew all 70ish necessary. Now I think I can get below 10 seconds consistently frequently by the time I get to Mars, but I'm an engineering student right now so my time allocation is...changing.

Earth makes up for that.

When "The Book of Geonosis" sounds entirely correct to you. When you use lambda as a shorthand for half-life.

I'm hovering somewhere between Flatland and MCU...

Good to know. I don't want to burn on arrival at Mars.

There's rocks of all sizes there, I'm sure, including lots of those tiny dust particles you don't want to breathe in.

You had me having flashbacks for a second before that tweet loaded. "The pad is circular, it makes perfect sense."

My entomology professor addressed the moth memes today. L A M P

Space colonization requires technologies and methods that are also essential in preserving our planet. Mars colonists will need to live efficiently, sustainably. The two goals - populating space and preserving Earth - will occur in tandem, advancing and benefiting one another. Mars exploration can be beneficial to all humans.

No, it was even better than that.

That one meme from the early ages, happened because of a translation mishap in a game. Let's see just how obscure we can get...: "HAN SINGULAR, YOU ARE THE SINGLE GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!"

When you spend the better part of an hour trying to verify a claim that a flea can jump 100 cm in 0.002 seconds. (Conclusion: it seems a little sketchy.)
