Before we go to Mars, we should put our resources and brains to work to find a way to crack water so we have a cheap/clean fuel source to replace the oil that will reach peak production by 2020. If you did't like $5 a gallon gas, you won't like $25 a gallon gas either. Once the oil production starts decreasing you can expect the real oil wars to break out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2009 11:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Creating Meals for Mars Mission to Last Five Years]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</guid><description><![CDATA[OK so we send food to Mars, ahead of the astronauts.  Nobody said the container has to land on Mars.  It could orbit the planet until the crew gets there.  And since space is a deep freeze, it could orbit Mars like a giant freezer until it's needed.  So the only problem I see is determining how long flash frozen or freeze dried food and stay in a frozen state before it goes bad.  <br><br>Hell, twinkies have a shelf-life of 7 years. If that's really the concern, and I don't for one minute imagine it really is, why not give them the same food given to our current military?  It's good enough for them, it should be good enough for NASA!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Larry John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2009 12:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Creating Meals for Mars Mission to Last Five Years]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is very likely this wont be needed. I've just discovered the particle that causes gravity & inertia (I have a tiny laboratory). It's all still very new, but there are enough clues to build a vehicle that can reach Mars in months, not 7 years....alfredschrader@aol.com]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[al schrader]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2009 1:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Creating Meals for Mars Mission to Last Five Years]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</guid><description><![CDATA[The food might be the easy part.

I have 2000 NASA photos to show that Mars is already settled and inhabited by White, Black and Asian races.  You deem us total idiots, to get us to believe there's nobody already there.  Yeah, you idiots.  You don't know the whole solar system is peopled; but some of the rest of us do!<br><br>Piffle.

This is a well known incident that many say has<br>     long been covered up by the U.S. . Air Force and other federal agencies<br>     and organizations.<br><br>     However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948,<br>     nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:<br><br>       Albert A. Gore, Jr.<br>       Hillary Rodham<br>       John F. Kerry<br>       William J. Clinton<br>       Howard  Dean<br>       Nancy Pelosi<br>       Dianne Feinstein<br>       Charles E. Schumer<br>       Barbara Boxer<br><br>       See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?<br>       I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things<br>       for you. It did for me.<br><br>       No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!<br><br>       Now You Know. <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2009 6:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Creating Meals for Mars Mission to Last Five Years]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/16/nasa-creating-mars-meals-to-last-five-years/</guid><description><![CDATA[Send along xmas fruitcakes.
