This is not going to end well ...
sitnspin:
What a bunch of Debbie Downers you all are. Nothing ever ends well, whether she leaves and they never see each other again or if they stay together until one of them dies, endings are always sad. It isn't the ending that matters, it what happens up until then. Enjoy the fuck out of life while you have it, it all turns to shit eventually so you might as well have a good time along the way.
Mr_Rose:
Not all endings are sad though. Like, what about if Padma joins the band as lead singer and they go on a Worlds Tour of the solar system and, having been driven mad by space rays, create a doomsday weapon out of their ship and use it to ignite solar fusion in Jupiter before being incinerated by the ignition pulse? That ending is AWESOME, not sad. Plus it comes with a bonus bitchin' sweet ride on the way in.
Carl-E:
This is why Jeph writes the comic.

Uh... machines, tools and instruments do that all the time.
Every single day.
And they've been matching those capabilities since the dawn of the industrial revolution. I don't know what you think is special about the pathetic senses we've got, but I can safely say that your scientist quote comes from someone that deserves to be slapped across the face, soundly and repeatedly until he can no longer influence an argument in any meaningful way.
I would see what happens if you put that scientist naked above Mars- see what he can do without the benefit of his technology. I would imagine he wouldn't last very long.
People who believe in human exceptionalism are the bane of technological progress. We aren't that damned special!
