Oh man - sure hope this is the beginning of the real space age.

This is what happens when you mix space-age technology with bronze-age culture

I'm appalled!

Everyone knows that if Christianity never existed, people wouldn't be flying in space-age cities with jet packs!

They'd be flying under the power of their own evolutionarily developed wings powered by nothing but bliss and joy.

But seriously, aside from the space-age video that strikes me as a little sci-fi the man is an empathic genius! (Perhaps the sci-fi video is suitable, we are entering a very strange time).

Yeah, I like Floyd but I prefer the actual band Cluster for my ambient space-out-scapes. Man, Germany just had that whole drugged out space-age thing down pat.

Upvote for putting the glory of the early space age above punks (albeit brave punks) with bikes and Red Bull sponsorships.

This looks to be made of a space age polymer.

Sensible like what? Nobody is going to move an inch from their position on any side, and nothing we say here has any bearing on the course of reality, so what purpose is any of this aside from catharsis?

Lets say I somehow manage to convince you, then what? It has no consequence. So why should I be concerned with whether you disagree, are prejudiced, or change your mind? This whole act is entertainment, a way for a bunch of space age monkeys to pass the time.

Now, do you have something sensible to add to the conversation

Billy Mays here for Helmet Helper! Tired of getting hit in the head by falling debris? Can't stand crazy shit falling from the ceiling when your airplane pilot wants to take a nose dive? Then you need Helmet Helper!

The secret is our patented space age polymer foam. It even stands up to a freight train barreling down the tracks!

Order now and receive a second Helmet Helper at no additional cost to you. But wait, that's not all. We'll even throw in the Concussion Buddy! If you get hit in the head, the Concussion Buddy beeps like a motherf-cker and says "Get to the hospital!!" All this for 19.95!

If you don't know me by now I doubt you'll ever know me
I never won a Grammy I won't win a Tony
But I'm not the only MC keepin' it real
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper girls go "Illlll!"
Check the time as I rhyme it's 1995
Whenever I arrive the party gets liver
Flow with the master rhymer, that's to leave behind
The video rapper, you know, the chart climber
Clapper, down goes another rapper
Onto another matter, punch up the data, Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody
Call up KRS, I'm guaranteed to rip a party
Flat top, braids, bald heads or natty dread
There once was a story about a man named Jed
But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead
Want to kick rhymes off the top of they head
Word, what go around come around I figure
Now we got white kids callin' themselves niggas
The tables turned as the crosses burned
Remember You Must Learn
About the styles I flip and how wild I get
I go on like a space age rocket ship
You could be a mack, a pimp, hustler or player
But make sure live you is a dope rhyme sayer

This is what you waited all year for
The hardcore, that's what KRS is here for
Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill
If you see then ya saw I'm in your grill with mad skill
MC's can only battle with rhymes that got punchlines
Let's battle to see who headlines
Instead of flow for flow let's go show for show
Toe for toe, yo, you better act like you know
Too many MC's take that word 'emcee' lightly
They can't Move a Crowd, not even slightly
It might be the fact that they express wackness
Let me show ya whose ass is the blackest
I flip a script a little bit, you ride the tip and shit
Too sick to get with it, admit you bit, your style is counterfeit
Now tone it down a bit
My title you will never get, I'm too intelligent
I'll send your family my sentiments, my style is toxic
When I rock and shock and hip hop it unlock your head, I knock it
It split quick from the lyric
Direct hit, perfect fit, you can't get with it

Some MC's don't like the KRS but they must respect him
Cos they know this kid gets all up in they rectum
Slappin' and selectin' em, checkin' em, disrespectin' em
Just deckin' em, deckin' em, deck-in' em
Who in their right mind can mimic a style like mine?
I design rhyme and get mine all the time
MC's standin' on the sidelines, always dissin'
When I roll up and rush their crew they start bitchin'
I don't burn, I don't freeze, yet some MC's
Believe they could tangle with the likes of these
Cross your t's and dot your i's whenever I arrive
Wide, magnified, live like the ocean tide
You dope, you lied, I reside like artefacts
On the wrong side of the tracks, electrified
Comin' around the mountain, you run and hide
Hopin' your defence mechanism can divert my heat-seeking lyricism
As I spark mad iszm
The 1996 lyrical style's what I give 'em

I think it's too early in human development to actually go to space. We did go to the Moon and back and sent a robot to Mars with taxpayer money.
Society needs to become a lot more productive, with cost saving technologies that will allow voluntary funding for projects of this magnitude. The space age will fail if it is pursued by governments agencies.
When we find good economic reason to go to space, it will naturally become a worthwhile endeavor for private citizens and companies to profitably undertake.
Right now, NASA is, mostly, a waste of money. That statement will make more sense when the economy collapses.


Nah, I disagree.

its been estimiated that for every dollar the US government put in, they got a return of seven with all the space race technology spin offs. Whats the chances within 3m of you right now there are objects which have some off this technology imbued?

Plus there is never a time to not think of space, IMHO. It lifts the considerations of each individual into the realm of infinity where wars, resource scrabling and politics shrink into insignifigance. Space and more importantly, the sparking of the WORLD's collective imagination and hence cohesion.

I think there is something fatalistic to turn your back on space.


Thank god there is a plethora of commercial investors (Branson most notably) with the money and the foresight, and most importantly - WILL to move the stars closer.

Best comment - "The space age hasn't begun yet."

The excitement of exploration that briefly drove the science and technology of the early 60's has gone into hibernation. The only place you feel it these days is in the new star trek movie.
