1: If you guys are taking names, I will HAPPILY be the first man to die on Mars. If I understand this correctly, the radiation should kill me within a couple of months (if several years on board a ship doesn't already destroy human bone density and make me a straw-man).

2: OCEANS! We have mapped out something like 3% of Earth's oceans! Who knows what sort of cool biological breakthroughs will result from discovery of life that HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED BY THE SUN FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS!

3: Lightsabers.

Since I"m thinking about moving OUT of Harlem soon ( live next to the ihop on 135th) - what are your thoughts on Washington Heights?

To be clear - I DON'T need drugs. I want a place where my GF will feel safer than..well...harlem.

Hello Ms. Miles!

First off - just wanted to thank you so much for your work. I've been a support of STC since I started college. I'm a fairly annual donor, and I used to do canvass work for you guys to help sign up child/program sponsors. So many other groups out there have tarnished international charities by sequestering and mismanaging funds - the work I've seen from STC is simply phenominal.

Now that I've taken care of my inner fanboy - I have a few questions about the war in Syria and it's affect on development.

1: Are the majority of children still able to get an education? Or is the thought of attending school just a pipe-dream?

2: How have the opposing forces been reacting to STC's presence? I know that the organization remains non-religious/non-political (like doctors without borders), but have you been shunned away like the Red Cross or DWB?

3: Will Syria possibly be open to child or program sponsorship any time soon? I know the area is highly volatile, but I'd definitely consider making an ongoing effort to support your work there.

Haters on my post can go ahead and hate - I'm a long-time redditor and my history should confirm a history of whiskey drinking and NGO activism.
