Q:What made you get into Paleontology? A: Jurassic Park. Grant was a badass.

Fuck yes. That is awesome.

Yeah, I feel that when our space program is already half of one percent of the federal budget then "shouldering reductions" is a bit of a null statement. It's about like trying to balance a budget by reducing the amount of gum you chew but still buying a big-mac every day in lieu of packing a sammich, and what makes it worse is that in this case we view chewing gum as essential for our future development.

"T-Rex."

First, I imagine the cup was pretty big.

Second, are the sperm proportioned as well? Can't help but imagine tadpoles :P

I am of course just being light hearted, I hope you all the health in the world man.

Except our radio waves dissipate not long after exiting our solar system(if I remember correctly). So yes we have been transmitting them for 100 years, but really the only life that can distinguish our radio programs from white-noise would be those aliens within our own solar system.

But otherwise I agree with your second statement. We ourselves do not have FTL travel and yet we can (though very expensively) create pretty much any molecule we need to on a very small scale. I'd be hard pressed to think that a civilization that can travel faster than light couldn't manufacture any resource it needs cheaply enough to need to pay for gas on a 155 million light-year journey just to harvest it from another planet.
