Being banned by @AshleyNunn must be quite the rollercoaster

SaintWacko

@agent86 Exactly

user15026

badp

Maybe I should create some havoc in her site.

user15026

How so?

"WHAT IS THE BEST BOOK"

@SaintWacko It's a much faster way than landing, taking core samples, and analyzing them.

Powerlord

Bah, one of these files is 4GB... and my flash drive is apparently formatted FAT32.

fbueckert

Plus, explosions!

user15026

@badp DONT MESS WITH MY LIBRARIES

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert That's not how we analyzed the other planets in the solar system...

fbueckert

Who DOESN'T want to figure out what a planet is made out of by blowing up parts of it?

@AshleyNunn "WHY IS LIBRARY SO OLD AND BORING"

user15026

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Yes, but the sample... thingy... is much smaller

agent86

SaintWacko

user15026

fbueckert

Jan 8, 2013 19:19

@SaintWacko It also goes through several layers all at once.

agent86

@AshleyNunn WHAT LANGUAGE IS BEST FOR READING IN

OrigamiRobot

HOW DO I DEWEY DECIMAL?

fbueckert

If all you're looking for is composition, that's all you really need.

user15026

badp

"WHY DOES LIBRARY GUY GETS ANGRY AS I WHIP OUT MY PORTABLE TYPEWRITER"

OrigamiRobot

ARE THERE ALSO HUEY AND LOUIE DECIMALS?

Powerlord

Hmm, should I pick up A Memory of Light today or tomorrow?

fbueckert

sarge_smith

"WHAT IS THE CODE FOR PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS THEY ARE THE BEST BOOKS. WITH PICTURES"

Powerlord

@badp 666.66

Because pornography is EVIL!

OrigamiRobot

WHAT KIND OF TREE MAKES LIBERRIES?

sarge_smith

@powerlord 696.9

badp

@Powerlord I'm fine with putting 50 Shades of Gray straight in there

SaintWacko

Anyways, my original point was that if there are not suitable materials on the moon, the asteroids are a plentiful and easy source of materials, including ice and air

GnomeSlice

@badp Try xxx

"WHY AM I BANNED FROM THE LIBRARY"

SaintWacko

668, the neighbor of the beast

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Yeah, that I agree with.

GnomeSlice

@badp Erotic literature != pornography.

fbueckert

Jan 8, 2013 19:21

I'm just thinking firing a subluminal probe into the moon first to figure out what's up there will take much less energy.

badp

for lack of "-graphy" I imagine

SaintWacko

@fbueckert The choice then is to move one into earth orbit, or mine in the belt

badp

still it's the most explicit book I've ever held in my own hands.

sarge_smith

@SaintWacko asteriod mining is the future... moon and orbitals are the infrastructure we have to build to get there

agent86

I NEED A LIST OF BOOKS THAT FEATURE TIME TRAVEL AND ROBOTS OR TIME TRAVELLING ROBOTS PLS RESPOND FAST THX

Powerlord

Jan 8, 2013 19:22

Astrology: The serious science.

reads tea leaves

fbueckert

@agent86 Oh, hey. We haven't seen that troll around in a while.

Powerlord

Oh wait, wrong science.

OrigamiRobot

WHAT KIND OF JOKES DO LIONS LIKE?

SaintWacko

If they are moved into orbit, they can also be used to dangle a skyhook from

@sarge_smith I don't see the moon as a necessary step

fbueckert

@SaintWacko That, I can definitely see.

badp

@OrigamiRobot IF A LION EATS A BOOK IN THE LIBRARY DO I REPAY IT OR THE LION?

SaintWacko

It's useful if you want to have colonies off the planet, but as an industrial location it pales in comparison to a station in orbit around Earth, or in a Lagrange point

fbueckert

But I'd still say expend the .1% energy requirements of GETTING the asteroid, and see if we can just base from the moon first.

sarge_smith

@SaintWacko we might be able to swing with just orbitals but all those miners need a place to lay their heads

GnomeSlice

Wait, that's the wrong one.

user15026

That's it if any of you hit Libraries I am banning on sight.
