Send Yourself To Mars!
« on: July 17, 2009, 04:40 PM »
Fellow DC'ers, why restrict yourself to this miserable little rock in space when you can travel the solar system.....

Send yourself to Mars courtesy of NASA.

Unfortunately due to weight restrictions you won't be able to take any luggage, food, electronic devices, camera, clothes, drink or even yourself!

However, through the modern miracle of Flat Space Technology we can shrink you down and turn you into a stream of electrons that looks like your name!

We then lovingly handcut this into a microchip and then shove it unceremoniously into a very small rover to be launched in 2011.

We even give you a certificate!

So friends, Send Yourself To Mars!

Hmmmm, now I know why no extraterrestrials ever came by here.  We sent out that thing that said Hello 450 different ways.  The aliens figured half their life expectancy would be used up just in greeting.  Never get anything done on that planet!

Well, in this case you'll get a personal visit from one of the Martian tripods.  :Thmbsup:

The second stage rocket will give it a Boost but I hope they get the landing right or it'll be up and down like a YoYo.

No doubt the first dog to Mars will be a Yorkie.

I hope they give him plenty of sunblock then, otherwise he might end up with a Red Skin.




BTW: The digits sum to the number 23! So now I have proof the Illuminatus is behind this...[FNORD] ;)

Thanks to you I now have this nifty table to put inside the fridge.
