Doing something I enjoy making enough money to not live pay cheque to pay cheque. I have no idea what I wanna do though, so thats kinda a road block.

Ya well good for you yanky bastards and its zed not zee, and milk is supposed to come in litre bags, and ummm its colour and so on....eh ...I wish I could sleep ;( 6:51am and counting

[BlackCelicaGT94]

litre bags?? ur milk comes in bags? hmm mine comes ina carton

[coustoe]

history lesson who cares about the spuce goose. sorry i just had to be ab ass haha
[right][snapback]209723[/snapback][/right]

Its all good. I know that nobody does care except me. I love aviation and space history stuff because thats my field, i dont expect others to care.

And if you are going out of the country, Italy was a blast last time i went! Staying in the country, you should throw a dart on a map and go. The best trips are the ones that you find, not plan out. There is SO much in this country to see and do. Anywhere you go, youll find something.

air ships are better than airplanes.

[Digndoug]

You could come to Annapolis, Maryland, its near D.C. an theres a lot of cool **** everywhere around, n sheat i could show u around..

Airships? you mean dirigibles? you mean giant balloon ships that they havent used since WW2, and even then the best ones were filled with combustable hydrogen? You mean those things that are only used today for overhead shots of football games? You mean those flying things that would loose to an ST in a race, but yet takes a mile to turn due to the instense virtual bouyancy?

yeah... those are cool!!!

[mr_dude]

Someone should make dirigable out of liquid helium.

[Consynx]

lol, i was waiting for this kind of response

i liked Gh0st Dog's first reply although i thought it was meant at something else, lol

and as for marrying rich...i hate that. When i graduate and have a good job im going to act like im broke still, i hate gold diggers.

closest thing you come to anti grav, theres some misconceptions about airships, your gas in your tank is more dangerous then the hydrogen in an airship.

This is one of the few discarded great inventions that was never fully developed, I think the last 2 centuries is littered with interesting technologies. But Id have to put Air ships and Nuclear power at the top of the list of technologies with the largest potential, but never pursued or fully developed.

Imagine where we would be today if we would have fully pursued nuclear fission technologies, learning to safely harness fission in every day applications such as cars, jets. really every fuel/energy source has its hazard, JP8 fuel for planes, the most toxic stuff you can think of, probably just as bad as anything radioctive if it containinates an area.

And Airships... I can only imagine we probably have floating way stations or mini cities in the air, or Air cargo haulers instead of ocean freight. So can haul so much more stuff with airships then airplanes and faster then ocean freighters or trains. It would be awesome.

I still act like im broke. except for my car and the stupid amounts of money i put into it.

[Benevolence]

Go to Rosarito... it maybe in mexico but you don't need a passport fun fun fun place.

litre bags?? ur milk comes in bags? hmm mine comes ina  carton
[right][snapback]209749[/snapback][/right]

yup and you have special jugs that hold them, its really pretty awesome, when I first came down here I didnt get why my parents mae the switch to cartons, then I found out the bag thing is canadian, why? I dont know.

[Andason]

whats a litre? a LITER.

Fission is ok, but fusion is better becasue it doesn't necessarily involve any harmful radiation or waste.

Dispite energy costs, the energy output from a fusion reactor would be far greater. Theres a team in California I believe working on a fusion reactor, using a donut shaped chamber with plasma flowing in the centre contained by a electromegnetic field.

where do people get these jobs? honestly?

[ghostdog]

assuming you're talking about fusion its still being researched. theres a tokamok fusion reactor abut 5 minutes from my house. they've been able to create energy but a lot more has gone in than has come out. give it a couple more decades

Its how canadians spell litre, I think we got it from the french, its in the dictionary You guys dont need a spelling for it anyways, stupid backwards imperial system

Fusion energy is like the energy source of the future, Im sure there is a lot of companies looking for a piece of the technology when its developed, I would think mainly energy companies. And the way I explained there apparatus is completely simplified, its quite sophisticated.

ok, but the only fusion reactor in the US isn't 5 minutes from your house. so ha
