... to the new planet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581_c). The meek can stay behind and inherit stuff.
I am really happy about this. Mostly I am hoping this new planet has rad oceans with giant pink marine dragons like I saw on the cover of a heinlein novel once. (It was a very manly shade of pink... maybe you had to be there.) If I ever do some crazy math that leads to the invention of a warp drive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Propulsion_Physics_Program#Alcubierre_drive), you will know that I only did it so I could party with the dragons on Gliese.
Also, we should terraform Mars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraform_mars). Assuming we can resolve all the maddening ethical concerns surrounding such a project. And figure out how to do it.
I am also in favor of floating cities on venus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization_of_venus#Aerostat_habitats_and_floating_cities). But then again, who isn't?

I just canned AugustWest for that tale about the layover and Prius key clusterfark in the linked thread. I think I would have held it together until the last exchange with the dealership - then gone over the counter and ripped the pinhead's head off.

I had pretty much repressed that memory...

Awesome, sounds like a plan.
