I'm planning a meet up for the outer planets of the solar system (although Pluto seems just a little too far). Please post a list of people interested and proposal for suitable dates for the meet.

LMAO. That is what I was going to say Olia. I have heard they can be real assholes :devil:
You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand
John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !

You have to come prepared for Uranus because the axis is on such a tilt that you literally get four seasons in one day.

The best thing to do would be for everyone to meet up on Europa first and then take advantage of Jupiter's slingshot effect to carry on to Neptune.

Yes, certainly umbrellas and sun glasses for Uranus. I was thinking maybe Titan (Ithink there's a McDonalds there now by the Tescos Express) for meeting and then onto Neptune.

I think Bill is showing interest, I believe there is a short cut to Saturn from Austrailia.

I'm taking off from Tidbinbilla. It's an easier run from the south.

Good thinking, you'll get a good view of The Namadgi National Park from there and they give out free peanuts on that flight.

That's alright then. Nothing worse than buying a drink for someone and certain bar staff not accepting card payments.

We did hire once once back in 1978 for a family holiday on Mars. It cost 50 million, billion, trillion, squillion, dillion pounds, which in those days was a lot of money.

Venus and Mars will be after Uranus and Neptune. Maybe we can hit Venus and Mars on the way home.

I was thinking the best way to get there was a giant sling shot.

Venus and Mars are the regular meet-up venues but usually we just split the difference.

Uranus must have REALLY sturdy structures, as winds can reach 900 kph (about 559 mph)!!!

We better bring every heating utility possible because the highest temperature is -224C (about -371F)!!! But last year was the vernal equinox and the summer solstice won't happen until 2028.

Uranians probably have places made just for Earthlings, with HUGE heating supplies and Earth food, as they await the day we finally come. As the first Earthlings on Uranus, I assume our language will not be understood. We also won't be able to understand Uranian.

We don't have Uranuros, so we can't buy anything there, and I assume they DON'T have money exchanging places, as they only have one international currency.

How about we go to another solar system and go to a planet just like Earth. Maybe the language and currency will be different, but at least we won't have to pack heating supplies or have to put up with winds as strong as 25 on the Beaufort scale.

But we can still go in another 5,482,963 years. We can all wait that long, can't we?

Yes, good point. Make sure you take a wind break for the beach everyone.
