He was going to pirate it anyway . <| sep |> Yes , perhaps that ' s it , ragnar ecbert strike up a understanding where it only appears ecbert hands him over , and latter aelle is taken out also to benefit ecberts Wessex . BUT . looks like Ivar still goes after Wessex in 5 . Alex did say Ivar was nuts . <| sep |> Having to take the high road is really kinda hard on the inner vengeful jerk , isn ' t it . Mine pouts a lot . So , would this be a winged potato or something fired from a highpowered spud gun ? <| sep |> We ' d better get over there and set up a polar magnetic field so mars stops losing it ' s atmosphere ! dunno how we ' d do that , but it needs to be done . Then we can warm the place up a bit and get lots of water vapour into the atmosphere , which will cause even more warming , liquid water to maybe even form if that gets the air pressure up and we can start planting things or they just start growing . Terraforming mars is an exciting concept , would be a massive learning opportunity and the planet might just make it easier for us . Nevermind the benefits of having a second inhabitable planet !
