-the very strange?..."The Snows Of Olympus, A Garden On Mars" by Arthur C. Clarke
at one time i had and read this book about terraforming Mars for plantlife and finally conifers! amazingly Arthur states that pine trees on Mar's lesser gravity would probably be the 'height of skyscrapers' here on Earth! sure, i believe that's possible...he also mentioned this in a few short stories he was into, that future generations of earthlings born and raised there would be taller than on earth due to lesser gravity.
it's my belief now that this could be possible as a norm across the Universe, which this planet knows nothing about...., but? i have no belief in Buzz Aldren's (lunar astronuat) book "Encounter With Tiber" where he writes about an alien race of 'cat people'.......that i consider has no basis whatsoever cheifly because this planet has had enough time (5 billion years) that DNA has had every opportunity to throw every possiblity over time. i haven't seen the movie Avatar but i think their of the same group, with no bases in known reality (again cat people). what if? taller creatures are the norm across the whole universe, (that this is so because the majority of 'habitable zone earthtype planets' are 3/4 the size of our Earth planet!) if that's so you could expect the lesser gravity of such a planet to throw?...what i believe are..15 to 20 ft people clear across the universe! also i've come to believe that only Hominid Creatures can evolve brains....why? because this planet again, has had more than enough time to evolve 'all possibilties'.......i've also come not to believe in space travel...i have no belief whatsoever...because the general trend of this planet has been "plants & creatures of extreme size"....
i believe that the normal habital zone would throw a majority 3/4's Earthtype Size Planets With Huge Trees & Animals...this is an interesting thread to follow as there are other considerations with that size planet of lesser gravity? if? it is considered that lesser gravity in combination with a planet of 'zero axis' could throw?...weather patterns that are more hospitable to life: NO CYCLONES/HURRICANES/OR TORNADOES! TO IMAGINE A PLANET OF ZERO AXIS WITH SUMMER WEATHER, YEAR LONG. BY CONCLUDING THAT THIS PLANET IS 'NO GOOD'! TOO LARGE. FOLLOWING THAT THOUGHT IT'S LIKELY THAT 'SPACE TRAVEL' HAS NO MEANING IN THIS UNIVERSE....ALSO, IT'S KNOWN THAT THIS GALAXY IS A BARRED GALAXY & IMPOSSIBLE TO TRAVEL...WOULD THOSE RACES OF 20FT PEOPLE RIDE HORSES?...I DOUBT IT SERIOUSLY...AND THIS UNIVERSE COULD BE STRANGER THAN STRANGE....I FIND SPACE TRAVEL A ZERO PRIMARILY BECAUSE WHEN A STAR IS REACHED? YOU'VE REACHED 'NO VANTAGE POINT'....ALL OTHER STARS ARE AGAIN, SUNDOTS! I FIND THROUGH THIS THOUGHT PROCESS THAT I ARRIVE TIME AND AGAIN AT A 'DERELICT UNIVERSE'....
-"The Devil We Know: Dealing With The New Iranian Superpower"by Robert Baer '08, (ex-CIA) -- why Bush's removal of our Sunni Allies in Iraq has left it all Shia, both in the government & clerics too with Shia's...(?)that Iran quickly filled the vacuum in the country across the border immediately...that it now controls the whole country of Iraq! way to go Bush!
