It's entirely possible that Koswix and Ant will team up to build the ship, but then I'll get drunk and somehow end up waking up on Mars, surrounded by the wreckage.
Didn't you at least start some sort of aerospace degree?
If so, I vote you.
A lot of that stuff says US release only :(
Throb does have an impressive collection of Ray guns, which could come in handy for fighting off Marvin.
Y'know, I'd almost forgotten about that, but yes I suppose my degree in Aeronautical Engineering with specialisms in Spaceflight Dynamics and Industrial Aerodynamics would stand me in good stead.
If I could remember any of it (and if I'd been any good in the first place - I barely scraped enough to get the lowest possible degree it was possible to get).
Couldn't have been that hard, I mean it's not exactly brain surgery.
Perhaps they considered your plan to get to Mars and thought that hitching a ride on a rocket and somehow orchestrating a crash landing through ineptitude wasn't the best and awarded your degree accordingly. Still, you managed to scrape through, so there must be some merit to it. :)
No, but it is rocket science.
Color me impressed.
In that case, Kenny4Mars

Exactly. If it ain't artfaggery, I'm not touching it. Besides which, I'm only a Pi dilettante, begging help here, tweaking other people's code there and making rag-baggy objects to amuse the culturati.
But I'll come along on the journey and talk pretentious bollocks to keep everyone amused. And if or when we get there I'll claim the whole thing is art in a blatant attempt to steal the true geniuses' thunder.
Indeed: 115 at my collection's height. I wound it down a few years ago to pay for no. 2 son's cricket tour to St. Kitts & Nevis (he drank his way through the entire thing), but I still have the star attractions, including Buck Rogers blasters from 1936 & 37 respectively. They'll keep the Zerg at bay.
Well, we just watched
The Martian, and I've decided to stay home.
Aye, Smiffy: poo potatoes aren't the most enticing incentive.
Defo not a candidate for Teh Mars mission then. Stay at home and tell the children of the alt stoneage that we will return. But warn them against eating the spuds of the gods.
[painfully forced puns about having a BLAST and all those SHOTS etc.]
I read the book before watching the film. Absolutely hilarious. I read in bed, and got in trouble more than once for bursting out laughing at 3am :D
Yeah, MrsD. read the book and she thought it was vastly superior to the film (as usual, I suppose).
I found the film moderately amusing, but it couldn't hold a candle to Gravity as a brutally realistic space escape adventure.
I reckon it'll actually be Ken, he'll quietly beat all the others...
