I submit that Mount Rushmore of Bill Murray films is <i>Groundhog Day</i>, <i>Lost in Translation</i>, <i>Ghostbusters</i>, and <i>Meatballs</i>. I'm so old I saw it in a theater. A drive-in theater. A childless couple who were great friends with my folks were seeing it at the drive-in near our house, so they offered to take my sister and me with them. "Some screwball comedy about a summer camp," the Mr. said to my dad, who was super strict about letting us see R-rated movies. Well, <i>Meatballs</i> was PG, but it was the second half of a double feature, and the first half was <i>Up in Smoke</i>! Boy did I feel naughty. I can still sing the Northstar CITs song.<br /><br />Thanks for participating in this week's Friday 5, and hang in there.

I looked for a question similar to yours there today but couldn't find it.<br /><br />In a nutshell, manned colonies will be exceedingly expensive to make. The only thing that we know we can only get from space would be helium3. It is an isotope of helium that can be used in fusion power that produces less than 1/2 the neutrons (aka radiation) of other fusion fuels. You'd mine it by processing rocks exposed to solar wind.<br /><br />It's conceivable that there could be manufacturing processes that either require zero-g or high vacuum to make work. We don't know of anything (yet) that would make a space colony worthwhile - but these environments could be used for extra pure crystals, perfect ball bearings, and possibly super long nanotubes (think ultra strong fibers).<br /><br />As you stated above, alien tech would very likely make it worthwhile.<br /><br />Another possibility is exotic materials. These are materials that don't violate the laws of physics as we know them but we also haven't seen any evidence of them (microblack holes, negative matter, etc.).Jim2Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13926368791623148384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167441295746298954.post-87833060641861437802017-01-05T08:25:32.246-06:002017-01-05T08:25:32.246-06:00Reading this, Michael Angelo comes to mind.Reading this, Michael Angelo comes to mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14494845112825228405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167441295746298954.post-17525010084804009652016-04-15T21:20:33.042-05:002016-04-15T21:20:33.042-05:00I can appreciate the stark beauty of Kansas NOW, b...I can appreciate the stark beauty of Kansas NOW, but back then...shudder. <br /><br />I know where I can get the doughnuts, I'm just not getting the doughnuts.

No shield bashing or pommel bashing. Having used my hands for over a year and a half, I occasionally attempt to use my hands to strike. But there's a pommel covering my right hand and a shield in my left. Period accurate, sure, but totally not allowed for safety reasons. So there's also things I have to learn NOT to do, even though they'd be very effective.Corpus Callosumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08099529585130290300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167441295746298954.post-58103375946648211952015-10-22T08:12:41.214-05:002015-10-22T08:12:41.214-05:00When learning a new activity, for me the first thi...When learning a new activity, for me the first thing to learn is what I'm supposed to do. That can sometimes take a year or more. Once I know *what* I'm supposed to do in a particular situation, then I have to start learning how to execute on that knowledge - and learning that, can take the rest of your life :)<br /><br />When I "fail" at a particular execution (I'm thinking of a volleyball play, fencing duel, or other activity), I try to figure out whether it was a "not knowing what I'm supposed to do" or a "knowing but unable to execute" error.
