Look up the cities there and stuff, there is one that is underground and the whole thing is lit up by one candle in the doorway reflecting off of tons of quarts.

The best way for you guys to see me gone for a long time, without having to pay much. Would be to start grass rooting some kind of research project to send me away for. Then getting a government grant.

Or we could just shoot you.

I think we are both wrong... after a little more reading. You cannot bring in non native organisms... microbes are a no no. soil contains these. You cannot bring them. BUT, you could bring sterile soil... but, it wouldn't work out very well for you... And, it wouldn't be easy I am sure as they would want proof about its sterile state. There is a reason why the stations are only producing hydroponically... you cannot bring in non native microbes and organism. I'm not sure if you can use native soil or not... but I do know that the pros over there are not using it. And there is a reason why....

So exactly what "native" plants are they growing hydroponically?

:lol: I know a pilot in south Florida, and I do journalistic stuff. I definitely have a chance of going. If I still really want to go in like 5 years, I'm sure I can get there. I would just have to get him to take me to South America, then to Antarctica. He's from Trinidad, so he's already used to going about half way down.

"he's already used to going about half way down." What is that? A navel job?

The agreement is technically broken with not just the food they grow but the food they have brought in. What I was reading though... I think they actually just used the word organism. ?. Perhaps it said or they meant microorganisms. Perhaps these things can be done with the right permit?
