Food / Cooked Fruit in Poland - Fruity Fillings, Flan, Pies, Tarts and JAM [85]

If you are interested in making your own, buy some fruit, sugar and a little fruit juice of some kind, but not a lot. Cook it up in a saucepan on the kitchen stove then let it cool. You could end up with something that resembles jam. If it is fresh fruit, it will be tasty regardless if it actually becomes full fledged jam.

Life / An Indian wants to convert to Christianity in Poland [60]

If you want to convert to Catholicism, you need to see a priest about RCIA(Rites of Christian Initiation Activities) You will need to do them before confirmation at Easter mass.

Off-Topic / "Curiosity" Lands On Mars! Huzzah! Poland's Mars Society Must Be Ecstatic. [77]

I've heard this explanation about the origins of the WOW signal:

Ehman has stated his doubts that the signal is of intelligent extraterrestrial origin: "We should have seen it again when we looked for it 50 times. Something suggests it was an Earth-sourced signal that simply got reflected off a piece of space debris."[9]

from the wiki article. So, I am not sure if that's an actual honest to goodness ET signal or just something from activity on or around Earth.

There are a lot of unanswered questions SeanBM. Heh. My belief is, everything is so far apart throughout the universe, the odds of us finding a signal are so low, it's the same each one of us has of winning the jackpot in a lottery. It might take literally hundreds if not thousands of years of searching to actually come across one signal from another species and we have not been searching that long. So far.

PlasticPole,I agree,unless they can come up with something that can do a lot more sooner.They should design these things to be able to be able to lift off when they are done and come back and maybe be refitted for another mission;I don't think this would be unreasonable either,I'm glad to find out that this rover makes sense.

If they could figure out how to do that, they could bring back samples to study which would, perhaps eliminate the need for x amount of probes in the future.

It isn't so much about funding, because even if the funding is private, it is still sucking up money from the economy. It's more a matter of good management and avoiding waste which we, as a species, need to adopt as an attitude.

because it's not going to happen without some waste.

They should strive for as little waste possible attitude which, so far, has not been demonstrated. Space is seen as vast and just begging to be filled with...something. At one time, the same thing was thought about the North American continent. It will always be vast and it's resources un limited. We have already lost a few species to extinction due to this attitude, one of which is a beautiful, giant woodpecker in Arkansas. Another is a cool looking green parakeet indigenous to North Carolina that used to exist in the millions if not billions.

.If we were sending thousands of these things then I would agree with you

It has to start somewhere, p3undone, which is why NASA should be reminded and watched on this, to be sure they don't do what people typically indulge in, mindless wasting of resources and taking everything for granted. Not just NASA but the space community as a whole. They seem to have developed this attitude that it's fine to litter up space. It's already a big problem orbiting Earth. Over 200,000 pieces of space-junk and counting.

It still doesn't justify the waste, P3undone. We have this attitude on Earth that we can just waste everything when we should carefully manage our resources and conserve. We should take care to protect the Martian surface by sending up one probe that will do everything we require and will last a while.

it's not endless litter and how many do you think have been sent up?

I just read an article about failed Mars missions. We already have two rovers on Mars, this is the third one.

Jason, they want to find that out, but they also hope, one day, they can terraform the surface. The biggest problem with Mars is it lacks a magnetic field. Perhaps the middle is not made of nickel. For whatever reason, the atmosphere is not shielded from the solar winds so the climate is inhospitable. Earth has a magnetic shield which is why it is not like Mars. The core is made from different elements and Earth is a bigger planet, closer to the sun.

p3undone, I think it is too but this is irresponsible on the part of the International Space Community. If they want to live on Mars one day, they shouldn't be littering it with endless probes. They need to design and build one that does what they require and send only one there..

What they should do, Jason, is make sure they have all the errors figured out before sending the probe to Mars.

TBH, I hope it has more than that. Why doesn't NASA send one up that will do everything that needs done instead of just sending up more and more parcels of space-junk? Haven't we learned a thing or two by how we manage Earth? I disagree with the way they are handling these rover missions. They should just stay grounded until they come up with a super rover because they are just littering and contaminating Mars with an endless parade of probes. Other nations are doing the same thing, btw, so it isn't just NASA.

Life / Free Poland Health Care - Paying minimal to no Zus [105]

. $200,000 a year and can't even do simple things to save children's lives. How completely overpaid and incompetent.

That sums it up, Delphian. I wish all Americans were ashamed of these facts and wanted to work toward improving health care over here.
