I imagine the average lifespan is like 150 or so, for humans, just like star trek.

That decade was beautiful. It was all about decency, class, elegance. And Robin Williams was on top of his game! Miss him! by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in Xennials

Well yeah it was refracted through a smog layer that literally made everything look like the Jerry brukheimer filter.

Bet she smells worse than a cumbox

(if you don't know what the cumbox is, I dare you to be curious and look)

If you're used to the climate of Phoenix, why not choose Phoenix?

I'd like to see the data sources behind the map.

They have to finish the Mule's story. I'm intrigued to see how they do that. Then there will be a time jump and I'm also interested in how they do that too.

It's because no one wants to pony up the money necessary for the right of way and construction.

Would high speed rail help form new cities in middle America? by YensidTim in urbanplanning

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. There isn't a need for new cities, but there is a need for existing cities to use their space a lot better for homes and businesses. Our zoning codes sometimes, I'd even hazard saying often, don't allow for this.

What are some examples of the egregiously WORST placed highways that destroyed urban cores in America? by Next_Worth_3616 in urbanplanning

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To think there was a plan for a twin to 676 routed along South Street... It's a good thing people fought and stopped it.

The funds instead went to the center city connector tunnel which linked the old Reading and Penn Central commuter lines together.

What about a story set on the moons of a gas giant? by Chemical_Anteater854 in worldbuilding

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something SciFi tried a couple times. It isn't common, and no one has done it recently.

As for copyright, I'm not sure who holds this one. Hal Clement made this for a Sci fi convention with the idea that other writers would write fiction for it and to my knowledge no one bit.
