"My opinion,can`t be done.No such things as martians. "
No doubt, the Mars rovers proved that!
This is harmless. I don't have a horse in this race. I find it interesting, that's all.
If you see it as a bunch of BS. Fine. (Probably is BS. LOTS of hucksters have been selling different versions of this).
BUT, it's fun. So, to speculate, imagine, wish... all ok as long as it doesn't cost me anything.
Yup,
Make a fine movie if done with a sense of realism. Meaning the nitty-gritty of living on a hot dusty planet. Team members dying in an accident,some members deciding to stay,watching aliens trying to play baseball,taking a poop,etc.
That would be way better than any post-modern super special effects Star Wars movie any day.
You're right. thats why this site is interesting...no bookseller click-thru links, no commercial activity whatsoever.
Not even a link to DUmmieville!
There is a complete lack of a sense of utter amazement and wonder regarding the findings of 12 people travelling and living with another civilization located 38.43 light years from earth. I have read more exciting stuff about the Chicago Auto Show than from these pages.
Thee actual descriptions of the alien world are linear and convention (and booooorrrrriiiinnnnggg). Most people I know come back from summer vacation with more exciting stories to tell. The aliens were dull, the food was dull, didn't see anything particularly new, it was awfully hot, electric razors worked fine with the eben system, time didn't matter, the ebens went to church, they had funerals, there food tasted like potatoes, the humans had to boil the eben water before drinking it, families had a mommy and a daddy and two kids, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
