Callisto is almost the same size as Mercury, although only about a third of its mass. The planet Mars is actually smaller than I thought it was. Venus, the closest planet to us, has many similarities to Earth. It is a terrestrial planet, it orbits within the Sun’s habitable zone, and it has an atmosphere that is believed to have once been like Earth’s. Of all the planets in our solar system it is also closest in size. I've read that we could actually survive on Venus near the cloud tops where the pressure is close to Earth's and the temperature is cool enough to harbor life. We'd have to build floating cities like Bespin, of course.

Maybe people should be considering Venus and not Mars for future exploration. Always wondered how far down cloud city's support reached, to the hard crust surface layer of the gas giant most likely.

Well, with the proposed Conan TV series by Amazon now being a non event it may be good to focus on things that will be occurring. I had to include this in the picture club. A first look at Battle Cat from the new movie Masters of the Universe. This is one cool image.

Now I find this offensive. I mean what the hell with the walruses. It should be saber toothed tigers flanking the girl.

- Druid blows horn for help. Some bastard has stolen his Sacred Boots. Apparently, those megaliths even predate the Picts and Celts of Britain, but they have become strongly associated with Celtic druids. I love barren landscapes that have a rocky lunar type surface. This one, called the Arctic Henge, is a modern creation in northern Iceland, a kind of dedication to the old beliefs, still incomplete, but looks cool against the far northern Arctic backdrop, looks otherwordly.

Always wondered how far down cloud city's support reached, to the hard crust surface layer of the gas giant most likely. According to the Wookieepedia page, it only goes down a short distance into the clouds. Scroll down a bit and you can see a cut-away of the city: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cloud_City
