		<description>This grown to be quite useful - at the beginning I didn&#039;t agree with this but in the end it turned out fantastic. Effective for every man and woman ... if you think that this data wasn&#039;t enough, go through it over again and you&#039;ll see. My personal romantic endeavors simply skyrocketed - without words!!</description>

		<description>I think NASA is doing an extraordinary job. They are discovering new planets and trying to find any life sign there. Really amazing!</description>

		<description>That&#039;s so cool!   I&#039;m glad that we&#039;re out there exploring still, I just didn&#039;t know that we had a new telescope up there to see more stuff!   That&#039;s great I&#039;ll be looking more into this.</description>

		<description>My first visit to the styrofoam planet was in 1988. I was unloading a Swiss colony truck during the holidays for UPS. High on the sugar from a fruitcake I broke into, I slipped and smacked my head into the side of the truck. When I awoke I was in the midst of a great and bloody battle. Gumdrops and bubble wrap were fighting  legions of pink styro peanuts for control of the Colony. Were it not for the sacrifices made by the outmatched chocolate santas, I wouldn&#039;t be here today!</description>

		<description>The myopicity (sue me, there&#039;s no real word for what I&#039;m trying to express) of some scientists really stuns me. 

“they’re like looking into a blast furnace – but that’s simply no place to look for life”

Right - except for the blast-furnace-like sulphur vents on the bottom of our sea floor - that simply looked like no place to look for life - until we looked and found them teeming with life.

Do not doubt the wonders of the universe, do not doubt the tenacity for life to appear wherever it may. 

For all we know, there are &#039;lifeforms&#039; made out of plasmas living deep within our own star. Very unlikely as we currently know things - but considering our own lifeforms are animated but nothing more than electricity (having a perfect brain with no electrical activity in it means a worthless brain) it is a distinct, far-fetched, possibility.</description>
