You're forgetting nanotech.
Keep in mind that we are building machines ever smaller, ever faster. We have now reached the point where we can begin to assemble molecule-sized machines. In fact, scientists recently built a molecule-sized electrical motor:
It can't actually DO much yet, but give them a few decades, keeping Moore's Law in mind. (Progress increases exponentially.)
Now, imagine billions of tiny machines, living in a waste-disposal unit of some kind, recharged by solar power, whose sole purpose is to disassemble whatever waste products are placed into the unit, back into their component molecules or atoms.
The elemental atoms are then taken to another facility, where they are REASSEMBLED into new patterns by fabrication devices, and turned into new product.
Virtually perfect recycling. As long as the sun lasts. (And by then, even if we can't find a way around the light barrier, we'll have also achieved the technology required to create generation ships to carry our descendants to the stars in hollowed-out, fusion-powered asteroids.)
None of this is "sci-fi" anymore. We have solar power. We already have primitive fabricator machines, that make stuff out of resin or other materials. We're working on nanomachines.
after all we know the physcial detrimental effects on long-run astronautsTo be more accurate, we know about the detrimental effects on astronauts who are in unshielded environments that don't provide gravity or a regular night-day cycle. (All problems that would be avoided living in a spinning, hollowed-out asteroid.)
No, I've been doing this long enough to know that the only thing that makes space travel "impractical" is our unwillingness to spend more than a twentieth of a pittance on making it practical.
That, and the fact that you shouldn't believe TV. Life is not, and most llikely never will be, like "Star Trek."

Yes, his:

Aww yeah nametag!Just an FYI, I may be able to trade in a couple days...
What are you planning on getting? I would suggest the sticky jumper to anyone with $0.50 in their steam wallet. Why? Because it's fun as hell.
Actually I was planning on getting Eternal Reward, Black Box, Winger, and a second Buff Banner.

This...

Actually, I just tried to upgrade my TF2 account to premium, but they got rid of the $2.50 minimum from the Steam Wallet... It's now $5.00 minimum, and I can't get it yet.

Banned for telling someone named "Ray" that you looked at a trap, in your title.

Yes. If you want more details, just ask.
What do you think of this song when you only listen to it, and what do you think of it when you also watch the video?

Good Idea: Voting a non-Democrat to be president of the USA.

Your ass!

Trying not to mix up the pop-tarts and skull punches lists.

My list would exceed the 60000 character limit... Twice...
Suffice to say, I'm an eclectic audiophile. (I like a lot of different styles, but they have to be awesome)
I really like songs that combine styles, country/rock combo especially.

Just had a can of Mtn. Dew Livewire.

The internet already has one /b/. It does not need another.
Agreed.

In the second picture, you have a box wired to a box, with a lot of pointless wiring... Might want to change the wiring to be a little less pointless.
Also, in the 7th pic, (the WIP back alley) you may want to change up to textures just a little bit. I can tell that it's a repeating texture there, and that is something that really annoys me a lot in most games/maps.
That being said, the map looks awesome. Far more detailed than most.

Wondering why Kirk double-posted.

I've never had to open up to anyone in particular, I'm a fairly open guy... Ask me a question, and if I can, I'll answer...
As for others, well...
When I was a freshman in highschool, near the end of the semester, I had a senior walk up to me and tell me that I was his reason for quitting his gang, and taking responsibility for his son. (he was unmarried) He said that it was how I acted, the fact that I never joined a gang, and yet never backed down from a fight that gave him enough courage to do all of it. Last I heard he had married the mother of his son, he had a good job, and they were all happy.
