Space beyond the magnetosphere is even less hospitable to organisms. Interplanetary voyages remain as fantasies until the problem of cosmic radiation is seriously addressed.

George's take on ... ( 3 weeks ago by misterdix)

George's take on religion almost makes the tragedy that lies in its wake justifiable. We live in a time now w/ a lot more connected intelligent people afoot & it won't be long until the retarded religious nut-jobs will be outnumbered and we can finally get down to business. That's it, I'm going to get back into comedy and keep our Carlinian beliefs alive. The next time somebody asks me that dumb question about having dinner with 3 people from history I'm going to slip George into Jesus' seat.

The combination of the common sense and the sense of humor he possessed made him immortal. We will always recognize ourselves or pieces of our lives in some of his VAST material. What a talent he was !!
