5614 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 a nice large bunch of francium in well... i'll leave that up to you. to die.... nice to know what a big electric shock feels like - if not a big drop would be cool as you get to be weightless before you die! fly a fighter jet own a quantum computer get lots of money so i can buy a Ferrari Enzo and the quantum computer (with loadsa upgrades) and so that i can upgrade my current one become really clever -- maybe know everything there is to know in the whole (uni)(or)(multi)verse - that'd be cool!

Gilded Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 "6. Extract gold" That's quite easy with the chem.. Uh what was it now. Anyway, I personally would like to see a live nuclear test. Not too close though. Too bad the bloody Greenpeace/other whiners are trying to put brakes on my dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilded Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I also would like to complete my element collection (at least for the naturally occurring part of it). Wouldn't mind launching a homemade rocket to the lower orbits either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeTraveler Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 See a colony inhabiting another moon or planet. Discover life in the solar system. Find a solution to the Earth's natural resource depletion problem. Watch my daughter lift off into space (she wants to be an astronaut). See the world become more peaceful. Find a way to "replicate matter" to end the worlds hunger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verusamore Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 What about time travelling TT ? Is it possible to replicate matter , I think maybe it is but it wouldn't taste and good to the original copy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeTraveler Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 What about time travelling TT ? Been there done that. ~ Is it possible to replicate matter , I think maybe it is but it wouldn't taste and good to the original copy . I am an idealist if you haven't noticed. If there was a way to replicate or clone food that would be as healthy as the original that would be an amazing feat in science. It would be great to see an end to hunger in my lifetime.

Sayonara Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Cloning food would be pointless. We currently have enough food to feed the world - the problem is one of distribution and economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I have too many to list in all honesty, but I like the JetPack idea (esp on a snowboard) making and flying my own Microlite is another goal (when I get a house with a large garrage). I`ve currently got design plans and some of the parts to make a small petrol/electric generator, I have the elec wheelchair motor, the gearbox and a friend has procrastinated about fixing his 33cc petrol garden rotavator, I`m sure with the right incentive I can obtain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
