What will be the next way to space?
Rockets? We’re using those now so ‘next’ doesn’t exactly apply. But since I brought them up, they are too expensive and too dangerous. And they are inconvenient, you have to endure all those gut-wrenching G forces,
“Hello lunch. Its… been a while.”
Then there’s the [sigh] fire. All these years have passed and humans are still using FIRE to get to space? Fire is something you yell for fun in a crowded theater, its not for exploring the final frontier.
Space Elevator? Electric, better than fire. But listening to elevator music for over 6 hours is enough to make just about anybody completely Dean out.
“Hmmm, was that the 23rd or the 24th time I’ve heard ‘New York, New York?”
“Do I care?”
“Why do I keep asking myself questions?”
“I don’t know.”
“Ack! Now I’m answering!”
duh duh dada dada DUH – Start spreading….the news…..-
“Yeaarrrrgh!”
And everybody dies.
And can you imagine standing, waiting, watching the floor indicator for that long either? No amount of small talk can fill a 6 hour elevator ride.
“Nice weather we’re having.”
“Yeah.”
“I wonder if the weather will be nice up at the space station.”
“Umm, There’s no weather in space.”
“But what about solar flares and coronal mass ejections?”
“Listen PSYCHO, I’ve got MACE and you are FOUR hours from a drinking fountain. Back off and keep any…mass ejections… to yourself!”
And somebody dies.
People go insane having to wait like that. For many of us, in an enclosed room, insane arrives in MUCH less than six hours. So the unbuilt, scary, space elevator is out.
The next way to space and you heard it here first or possibly elsewhere, is the….

Sheila Jackson Lee Claims An AR-15 Fires a .50-Caliber Round, Weighs As Much As “10 Boxes”
Dailycaller.com | September 23, 2019 1:04 PM ET | Virginia KrutaDemocratic Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee claimed that an AR-15 fired .50-caliber rounds and weighed more than “ten boxes.”
In a video Nicholas Ballasy posted on YouTube last week, Jackson Lee claimed that Democrats were going to have to do more than just push stricter gun-control measures in the House.
Jackson Lee asserted that she had held an AR-15 and the experience shook her.
“I’ve held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I had it. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving and the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets, need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street,” she explained.
Critics immediately took issue with Jackson Lee’s claims.
Note to Texas voters: don’t check the box next to her name next time. I don’t think she can handle another one.
