Current Mood: | A Hole in Mars Explanation: Black spots have been discovered on Mars that are so dark that nothing inside can be seen. Quite possibly, the spots are entrances to deep underground caves capable of protecting Martian life, were it to exist. The unusual hole pictured above was found on the slopes of the giant Martian volcano Arsia Mons. The above image was captured three weeks ago by the HiRISE instrument onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling Mars. The holes were originally identified on lower resolution images from the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, The above hole is about the size of a football field and is so deep that it is completely unilluminated by the Sun. Such holes and underground caves might be prime targets for future spacecraft, robots, and even the next generation of human interplanetary explorers. Link

Who can stomach this Politically Correct rewrite ?
Starbuck was a MAN.
I watched the show when I was a kid.
I had the recalled toys.
I still have BG Comic Books (real ones, where Starbuck has testes).
I still whistle the Theme Music.
They can stick this new series in their *** for rewriting Starbuck as a woman for PC points. |
