Tova:
Exasperating comment from Corpse Witch, but hardly surprising.
Also, I forgot to post my reaction to the newspost.

How does that one go?

--- Quote from: Penquin47 on 05 Apr 2016, 19:29 ---Main advantages humans have over rovers: intelligence and judgment. You can "program" a human with a lot more tasks at once than a rover, because if a human runs into an unforeseen development, they have training and judgment to decide how to proceed, rather than having to call home, wait while the scientists on Earth figure out what to do based on limited data, and receive new instructions.
Example: one of the Venus landers was supposed to extend a probe to test the compressability of the Venusian surface. Due to bad luck, it ended up measuring the compressability of the lens cap of its camera. For a human, this is a five-second fix - kick the lens cap out of the way or move the probe five centimeters thataway. For the lander, this was unsolvable.

At the recent inaugural Silicon Valley Comic Con Adam Savage held a panel with Andy Weir and a representative from NASA. That NASA rep said that it would be more cost effective to design probes that can do what humans could than to actually send humans to Mars.

Wait, wouldn't Corpse Witch think, however, that something MAJOR happened with Bubbles and Faye? When it's just one guy? Corpse Witch may be over-rejoicing at the moment, as Bubbles now has a lot of information about good humans in contrast to an experience with a bad one. I think Corpse Witch is about to get a come uppance.
Mr. Doctor:
If Faye gets any splash damage from this I'm sure she won't take any of it. I'm waiting for that dialogue.
Also... Yeah boss is an asshole, what's new.

Anger is an energy. The trick is to transmute it to compassion before it poisons you.
