Yes.

Unless of course it's not OK for a woman to ask for a female to ask for a female officer to carry out body checks. In which case, the answer would be no.

The kind of middle-class mentality which actuates both those responsible for strategy and government has little knowledge of the new psychology and organizing ability of the totalitarian States. The forces we are fighting are governed neither by the old strategy nor follow the old tactics.

Sapphire, Saphira or any variation. its a water world, give it a watery name.
I was a true left winger, then people taught me otherwise. I was a right winger, but things seem better then that.

Looks like its smart liberalism for the win.

I like your train of thought. For my money, I'd start with Apollo 1 or White, Grissom, or Chaffee.

IIRC, the atmosphere is made of steam, and as you go farther down, the pressure gets greater until all the molecules/atoms are forced together due to gravity and pressure.

IIRC. :p

It's a very hot planet where the only reason that water is liquid is because of the high pressure. I say we call it Stanley Steamer.

The following widget got pwned by some hackers. We’re trying to get it fixed and apologize to everyone who submitted real names. We’ve temporarily submitting new names and are trying to delete the thousands of entries for “Siberia.”


LOL Wired got hacked!

It's quite possible - some life forms on earth exist at even higher temperatures.

High atmospheric pressure.

You people are so smart, it makes me feel funny where I pee. Thank you for the answer that I clearly forgot from science classes in school. Duh. So it's brined and boiling. Sounds like we can call it Pressure Cooker. All we need now is to find a turkey planet or a crab planet...and a butter planet, a stuffing planet...mmmmm.
