This is all miles above my pay-grade. so I'm about to make a fool of myself in answering the OP re:reduction of casualties. If I were to make a rough estimate, it seems like by the end of WWI we had gotten a little too good at killing each-other on a global scale. if someone graphed war casualties over time, I should think we might see a temperig of carnage after we went nuclear. of course this fits the whole deterent narrative to a tee, so maybe suspicious. various fronts have still occured and we continue to fight proxies, so the numbers can't be too low... we still purported to fight for freedom (oil) and finding non-extant nukes when we already had access to information and technology voiding said objectives. from my naive perspective it seems like the development of military technology stopped when they fashioned 'a type of bat with a round or oval frame strun with catgut', for protection.

Yeah, honestly, what 1950's science fiction movie did they get that 2030 figure from? Unless of course they didn't specify living humans; I think they could probably get an urn up there.

Sorry I missed this one: whose ruins are on mars?

In addition, the article does not address how Mars would maintain a thick atmosphere, even if one could be generated, without the existence of a planet-size magnetic field.

Because it would only take 1, maximum 2 teslas to induce a magnetosphere.

I do not believe that creating an artificial magnetosphere around an entire planet is a trivial undertaking.

Axod sometimes fails when delivering irony.

Sorry, I didn't realize that was irony. My bad.

Not according to NASA:

...
due to the application of full plasma physics codes and laboratory experiments. In the future it is quite possible that an inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind."

I'll try and get OP that catapult, or, if you have tug-boat, try the Akademik Lomonosov way.

I'm stux.

Check the Mars Bar.

mr. Trump, pls to get off the punch-line

This one time, I adopted a shrew to raise my mouse?

[Uncle BadTouch?]

so, I am on workman's comp with a back sprain and a side of sciatica, because apparently i am a 50 year old construction worker and nobody bothered to tell me.

feel ya thar. if I retire before 80, they giveses us free psychoneuroimunology. Uncle BadTouch?

What?

Was wondering about that myself.

I bet you GENESYS mistakenly put her into a medical experiment and she thinks it /may have been Uncle BadTouch,

Bet you wouldn't be so glib if the skunks of NIMH were trying to get in your's.

Not sure if they did this one aleady... A version of Planet of the Apes in which humans war against apes enhanced with cool-looking neon accented cybernetics given to them by an advanced JHVH-1 'mothership' that they must worship unconditionally in return. Third act has apes and humans fight together against this controlling force.

Report should be ready by morning. Something about 'riding dirty.'

This one time, before being granted a little more imaginary headroom, there were these fresh-looking fools all up in my... drawers.

On second thought, this all probably unrelated. My circuits are missing context. I am Donny's absent frame of reference.
