    "TANSTAAFL" -- Robert Heinlein "A Dark Age, by the way, isn't when we have forgotten how to do something. It's when we have forgotten that we ever could do it; as for instance we have forgotten that at one time there were essentially no children who had been through four grades of school who could not read, and by read I mean read every word in a newspaper or book especially including words they had never seen before. They might well not know the meaning of 'polymorph' but they could sure read the word. And on that note, I suppose it's appropriate to say that in some ways we are already in a Dark Age." -- Jerry Pournelle

    http://www.astronomy.com/news/2017/01/2022-red-nova "In 2022, there will be a spectacular sky show. Two stars will merge into one, pushing out excess gas into an explosion known as a red nova. At magnitude 2, it will be as bright as Polaris in the sky, and just behind Sirius and Vega in brightness. The collision in the constellation of Cygnus will be visible for up to six months." So who else is looking forward to seeing this?

    Granted. But in a cruel twist of fate, all you possess to run it on is your brand-new Analytical Engine. I wish for spring to arrive quickly

    O'Hare Approach Control: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, One o'clock, three miles, eastbound." United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight."

    I was up all night wondering where Kerbol had gone … then it dawned on me. After his first meal on the moon, Jeb said the snacks were good but the place lacked atmosphere. For those inclined to fly aircraft in KSP, please remember the runway approach is a soar spot. When Kerbals die, the local paper runs an orbituary.

    Hypothetically speaking, I'd prefer to just build a space elevator on Titan's surface, and just suck up all those rich liquid hydrocarbons for shipment/use at the other colonies. Instant profit!
