Change or because he wants to cause kak for Zuma for kicking him out.

Does it matter? At least it falls in the "entertaining" category. I have no respect for Zuma whatsoever.

I'll agree on both statements.

Rather Zuma. He has absolutely no use for planet Earth, let alone the human race. At least Malema is entertaining and tries to fight for change.

As tempting an offer that is, I'll have to decline. Internet speeds suck on mars

Not as much as a toilet in low gravity. But yeah, internet speeds to Mars should make a 56k dial up look like fibre does today.

On a serious note, I wonder when we'll be able to travel the universe like in Star Trek. Thats one of the reasons I love Star Trek so much, the whole exploring where no one has before. Just imagine, obviously it will be extremely dangerous, encountering other natural forces and possible alien life that might not me peaceful...but damn, kinda like exploring a game like Skyrim, choosing a direction and just going and going...

Problem with that is that the journey will be a one way trip. If we assume you want to explore Gliese 581-d (closest earth like planet) and you have a ship capable of 99.99999999% of light speed it will likely take you a few days to travel the 20.2 light years (using a calender on the ship). However for the people back on earth it will still take you 20.2 years to get there, so when you return in 40.5 years it's likely your wife will be dead and you'll be a grandfather if you left you wife and child. Odds are that you'll have to sign divorce papers before you leave and you can say goodbye to everyone.
