I have wonderd if we start pelting it with oxygen producing fungi or bacteria we could get a head start in touning it into a habitable environment.

Ahh, good point. All one can do is live our life, tell the people you love that you love them and be kind. Be well.

There are documented UAPs (the tic tac videos) of things traveling at 50,000 mph and doing right angle turns. Diving into the sea and not making a splash. It's not the USA, Russia is using 50 year old tanks and 80 year old rifles. China just figured out how to make ball point pens. Maybe the Sentinelese?

And the sound, in space, no one can hear you scream. I like the Firefly series, they do a good job of this, pity it only ran for one season.

Side note, Illinois was experimenting with a cork surface. We drove on some on Interstate 55, it was a smooth ride at the time. This was in 2017.

The USA is still a "young" country. We have a poor sense of time here. If a building is 50 years old it is ancient. Sadly we do not build to last. Many old beautiful buildings are torn down for parking lots, mass transit is abysmal. You have to have a car to do any traveling, walking is not possible, stores are too far apart.

Too cool, I like seeing Roman roads that are made better than our pothole riddled tracks we call roads.

Not a clue. One wonders what they were thinking.

Lead does not decay very rapidly. It is also soft, you can scratch words onto it. You don't need much to mark a corner. I don't know about the Oregon Trail, but it was used through the ages.

There are field bounderies in England that have been the same since the Iron Age. I love looking at old maps and seeing roads that have been there for 160 years (In the USA that is a long time).

I believe early excplorers like LaSal did this in the 1600s in early America.

In the years 0f 1936-1938 the WPA {Works Progress Administration) initiated a program of transcribing Slave Naritaves. If you search on Internet Archive or AMAZON you can download these for free. There are transcriptions from all the Southern states that were slave holders. Very interesting reading.

Thank you, I was working off of transcriptions of Slave Narratives from the 1936-1938 WPA records and that is what was transcribed. Interesting reading if you get a chance.
