I'm kinda waiting for the buggers myself. Or the Lizards... though they may be surprised by our ginger Evaders99http://swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Webmasterhttp://swrebellion.com/images/banners/swcicuserbar.png Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.- SW:Rebellion Network - Evaders Squadron Coding -The cake is a lie.

Darth_Rob Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I actually got into a debate with my manager at work tonight about the possibility of an alien invasion. He doesn't think that a race of aliens intelligent enough to master space travel would be hostile, and he tried comparing it to past "empires" like the Romans. I was like, "what are you talking about? Any great civilization conquered lesser societies. The Romans, the Inca and Aztec...they all did it." I then proceeded to tell him that an alien race that came to Earth would not be E.T., Vulcan, or Ewok, and he laughed at me... Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

ElvisMiggell Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Rob, although i haven't paid enough attention to the thread to know what your context is, the view of the USA's space race being a political activity is certainly one which i think bears serious merit. Certainly i've seen it discussed in many programmes before now, and i think it's a generally accepted view. That and the American public appeared to have been whipped up into a hysterical state by the media. It's an older trait than most people realise sometimes! Mind you, my research centered on the year 1961, when the decision to go to the Moon was reached after Gagarin's flight. If anything, the media whipped the American government into hysteria. From what I found, the American people didn't really care too much in the beginning. Most either accepted it, or merely waited for the U.S. to match the Soviets. It was mainly the media, who kept talking about world-wide prestige in the midst of the Cold War, that influenced the government. Which is why I saw it as more of a way of restoring prestige and gaining a political victory over communism rather than a scientific endeavor. Which is what the modern day media is now painfully excellent at doing. Thanks to them i'm currently earning next to nothing because of all the bull-rubbish they're telling people about the housing market over here! Elvismiggell.

DarthTofu Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) What is it with you and quantum physics, J? That super suit is rather impressive- though I must say, I'm amazed that there isn't any mention of the Japanese beating us to it. Then again, they might just be busy building Star Destroyers right now, that's why they don't have super-powered infantry. (Joke. I'm not making racial stereotypes about the Japanese, don't worry) Edit: Some of the most Badass 3D work you ever saw This guy doesn't just give Mad and Krytos a run for their money; I think he actually wins!

Defender_16 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I've liked this song for awhile now, I just never looked it up before. It looks like science-fiction is becoming true. Now all we need to do is figure out a way to equip the thing with Jump Jets and Robert Heinlin will have accurately predicted the future.

Eagle Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Well, who knows. Maybe in a future, not that far away, wars will be fought with soldiers in Power-Suits like these against either Battledroids like that Machine Gun Sentry Robot or either genetical powered up soldiers or clones. The budget will dictate that, I guess. Poorer countries still will use the average soldiers like nowadays. BTW soldiers. Where the heck is SOCL?? Comon, rise from the lurkers again!
