| 205294 | 2004-01-04 17:04:00 | What a miraculous age we live in. Here I am in a remote island nation looking at pictures from another planet! And all delivered over a few strands of copper wire. This is awesome. :) :) | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 205295 | 2004-01-04 18:27:00 | Yeah, I was in a remote island nation (OZ) once, looking at live TV of the moon landing at least four or five hours ahead of the footage flown over the Tassie and broadcast here ... ;\ But, not to detract, even though the images of the Martian landscape and the Mars Rover are surpassed , for example, by the images of organic refuse collections along Sth Auckland roadsides :) Here's the NASA site for those who don't have it at hand Mars Rover (marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov) |

| 205296 | 2004-01-04 22:41:00 | Pictures... is that the best you can do... and mars isnt that far away... I order my pizzas from further away than that and... what for you still be using copper wires...? So Old Old School... whats that you say... its '04... not '54... opps... my bad... better jump forward 50 odd years... sorry... my bad... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know we are technical adolescents but look how far we have come in just… what is it 30 years ‘puters’ have been around… Think where we’ll be this time next year… broadband might even outweigh dial-up… 2010… might not even be able to get dial-up… 2015… that’s a ¼ of the computers history away…but its only 10 years… that’s not that far… and the technological progression is only speeding up… my insignificant mind can only conjure up what I can only call sci-fi… Technological progression isn’t ever going to slow down… my god… we have computers designing themselves now… designing multiple generation a day… Don’t even get me started on the military, and capitalism is a whole different side… But if I was you… I wouldn’t be amazed at what we have now… id be amazed at what we have tomorrow... |

"Reliable" sources today confirmed a lucrative deal had been struck between NASA and the Manukau City Council . Manukau City commissioned Hone Hackie (RORT fame) to film some of the deserted streets of the city that most resemble a Martian landscape, using inorganic refuse refused during the last collection to be removed to represent the parked Mars Rover . It was reportedly a monumental task to select the final "site" as there were so many similar sites from which to choose . A spokesperson for Manukau City said that although the City had paid NASA for the rights to produce NASA's latest hoax in a line of similar hoaxes, there were appropriate economies of scale . The deal, rumoured to be in the tens of millions was forecast to return many more millions of dollars to the local economy once the guillable public realised they did not in fact have to actually travel to Mars to admire the "landing site", and swamped the streets of Manukau City . A NASA spokesperson briefed the world's press on the subject, in a marathon speech in which he thanked Congress, all current heirachy at NASA, his family, his parents, their parents, the local Jeff Rense Society . Essentially he said that NASA had opted for the most economically viable proposition, that saved hiring a Hollywood sound stage . Ends |
