Thank you to everyone that is thinking of a human future where the economic sphere expands in volume. I recommend NasaSpaceFlight.com. Thespacereview.com is also accessible. And remember, it does not belong to man who is walking on the moon to even direct his first giant leap.

"nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them "
Nothing invokes the necessity of quoting a 2000 year old sheepskin, and thereby invoking the appeal to belief in The One True Right Honorable Left Grand Mighty God, Esquire, like seeing a skilled homo sapien in his prime converting potential energy to kinetic energy and back again while conserving angular momentum while exploiting friction to maintain mass balance over a fulcrum while using a machine of lightweight modern materials.
Can I believe my eyes? Sure. The end of a corporate sponsorship is product or service placement. The means by which the viewer is to be lulled into an identification with the product (Red Bull or Remington) is to capture in extreme verisimilitude the best of the best of the best individual painstaking takes, and synthesize the pretense that it was the only take required, using a lullaby ballad of some contemporary apostles of the casual, and using camera jibs, booms, and cranes to produce a surreal dislocating flotation of spirit, while staging the feat in a picturesque locale that ports some historical mythos while also offering a challenging arena for displays of man versus nature that supercede and therefore leverage and appropriate that mythos. If I hear someone portraying something arduous (amazing physical prowess) by something casual (ballad), my suspiscion is triggered that something is being sold. What I do not trust are my ears.

COMPETITION IN THE CONGREGATION!
by ADJUSTMENTS inthere always seemed to be a level of unspoken competition within the congregation.
wether it be between elders, ms, pioneers, etc... who's kids are doing more, who gets more hours out, who comments the most or the best, who gives the best parts, whos kids are the best, who has the better car, who has the better house, who has the better job and so on... it's not openly discussed but you can discern it through conversations, sometimes you can hear undertones of jealousy or meddling in others business, this always bothered me!
if this is gods organization whats with all the jealousy and competiton, i would see other religions or organizatons with less of these issues and question it!.

It's a capitalist system with a thin veneer of social net. The only real currency is 'probability' of being saved at Armageddon. 'Money' is merely a medium of preaching work.

JWST is James Webb Space Telescope. Direct some people there. It witnesses Jehovah's creation (or, what it out in the universe, period) far better than 8 farts in an octagon.

Why does Organic Chemistry prove God's exists?
by KateWild inso bring it on, and lay the evidence on me, kate (but perhaps you should start a new thread).-adam.
it does not prove god exists, there is no substantial evidence god is real.
if one is a self labeled atheist, one has no desire to see gods fingerprints in organic chemistry.

A glass floating in orbit around earth is completely full of vacuum energy. And that has mass.
The wife is a connesseur (voracious maw) of comedy. The last time I doubled over for 30 seconds was during Kyle Kinane's first(?) appearance on the John Oliver New York stand-up show. If I had my druthers I'd consume enough comedy to have a double-over can't-breathe event once a week, but life gets in the way. Tim Minchin and Brian Regan are almost guaranteed gut punch. Many others...

I'd love to have a customized reality browser, or internet service, or cable service, that simply doesn't waste your time with certain things. I'd like to not hear the first or last thing about Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, any Kardashian, Ghost Hunters, WWE, Real Wives of whatever, things whose sole calibrated rationale is drama. Can you do that, gods of technology? I'm not saying block out news of what bad happens in Africa or Phillipines or Syria, etc. Mainly American things. Things that qualify as bread and circuses. Deadliest Catch was good and probably cannot be emulated again.
