I read about it this morning in Newspaper, I'm gonna give it a try.

Well I tried it. It would be fun for the kids I suppose but they don't give you any pics you can blow up and examine.

After trying the map feature I think they are going to wind up with one really messed up map of mars. I cannot see how they can trust a bunch of kids/people to map this for them and get it right. You will see what I mean if you sign up for it.

wow two minutes of the mapping was enough to frustrate me into closing out that tab. it wasn't even showing the other two photos, and there's no zoom function, so how you're supposed to ensure that you're doing the mosaic perfectly is beyond me. total fail.

establish a high speed internet connection between earth and mars so that the time for commands given to robots/rover instant ..
Then using somekind of grid on mars make a route for rovers to race with onboard cams to show it on earth ..
send some rovers like toy buggies for sale in our toy stores to mars and then have a race with those rovers and broadcast that on primetime .. you can have sponsors ect and the private sector into this so the cost are lower and even the everest joe could have a change to enter after a contest on earth. for example every continent will have 2 winners and that will be 10 mars buggies racing 5 continents times 2 is 10 racers and have an exciting race between points.
and every year you could make it a bit harder or have different task like collect mars rocks towards a collector.. that collector would later on go back to earth for scientist to look at the rocks for science.
this way you will have the public an the scientist work to gether on tv and the people who collected those rock in the race would see something in return instead of looking on the sideline.

The best way to explore mars is to do it in the astral plane. Almost everything in the physical world remain in astral. But nobody still thought about this right?

This is what fascinates me so much about it, learning lots of knowledge. I get to a stage of feeling like I am freefalling then vibrating but that's as far as I have managed so far. From what I read there are many evil entities in the astral, is this true or is it just fear taking over?

Calling astral inhabitants "evil" is incorrect. There is one rule there: survival. How do they survive? By "eating" or absorbing energy called chi, ki. There are the larvas, which stuck to their prey and absorb their energy indefinitely (very small amount of energy, its a form of parasitism) or the schemes which feed on the energy released from emotions or impulsions, these can manipulate our emotions, make them bigger so we feed them more with chi. The interesting thing with the schemes is that these can be made subconsciously by anyone who have strong emotions/ideas/will. There are far more but if you control your emotions, you wont attract them. Plus, whether you are in astral or in the physical world, the larvas or schemes can target you anyways. These "creatures" are like small parasites that feed on you but wont or cant kill you.

You must be aware that astral is totally different from our world, so if you fear unknown, don't go there. Truth is not a good thing to know when you fear what you dont want to be...

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I have to say I do fear the unknown but I want to embrace my fears and learn more about myself in doing this. The astral just sounds so different and wonderful that I want to find what I'm missing out on. Have you ever been to the Akashic plane? Is there such a thing?

Thanks for the info
