In Topic: What is your 3 most influential books?

29 September 2014 - 03:36 AM

Stephen Hawking- A Brief History of Time. < Impact: Gave me wonder about the universe, humanity, life, and made me ask questions about everything around me. The pry-bar to a closed mind, and the hope a lonely heart. Even physically alone, I don't feel it, because I have hope someone else out there is looking at me as I look at them in the night sky.

Richard Dawkins- The Selfish Gene > Impact: Provoked me to question creationism vs evolution. To this day I am still on the fence, but thanks to Mr.Dawkins I have a better understanding of life, and it provokes more questions. While I retain a faith, I have my own ideas now instead of following a standard text. While I don't support evolution is 100% correct either, as it's still a theory(A good one) and still being tested, it clearly has a role in educating people about the observance of evolutionary biology.

Buzz Aldrin-  First On The Moon: A Voyage With Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. >  Impact: A personal hero, this book, like the one from Hawking, changed my views on what is important in the world, and beyond it.  Too often people are more concerned about looks, who to sleep with, or what's "Hip", instead of realizing there is so much to find, question, and dig answers for. The moon was a great step for humanity, this in part with Mr.Aldrins new book "Mission To Mars" has made me question a lot of things about what humanity needs to be doing. Some see Mars as just a red regolith covered dust ball, to few people however, it is a place of origins to be found, a place to find even microbial life in order to find more answers to questions we have, and a test to see if humanity could ever unite together and pull off colonizing another planet. This to me has been my childhood vision since I first read this book to see humans colonize the moon, Mars, and beyond.

What are your three most influential books?


In Topic: Third application. May be the charm!

and server1337.. welcome back!

Ah yes, I actually forgot the first name. Thank you for reminding me. I need to see if I can get back into that account on the Minecraft site and update some settings. Glad to see you're still around Macflea :D

 

So many names.

It's odd I know. In a sense it off-putting which is understandable. A lot of the time I make a new email, try new games, and forget just about everything about the older stuff until something peaks my interests again, in which 90% of the time everything comes back to me save for passwords and the like and I find it easier to just buy the game again and make a whole new account instead of dealing with tracking down a bunch of information to get the old account back.


In Topic: What would you pick as your last meal?

27 September 2014 - 06:28 AM

For a last meal I would order a french silk pie, and half gallon of milk. 


In Topic: Planet Explorers

27 September 2014 - 06:25 AM

I've played a lot of Planet Explorers, if you got a server going and would like a co-op partner I'll gladly hop on with you. I also dabble with Space Engineers, and Take On Mars.

Planet Explorers has a long way to go but plays almost like an Triple A title. I can't wait to see what the next updates will bring.

Hi AstronauticalFerret and welcome back to the forums. I don't seem to recognise your username?

 

I just finished the application reviews today, so it will be another month before the next round, so stick around, be active, and get to know everyone =)

Hello there. I forgot my old account name. The quote below got it right. I'll be around as much as I can be.

 

He used to go by PI.

Yep, that was me. Good memory!

(The answer is still Tea!)
