Re: [OT] Short sci-fi story: The Lifeboat
Yeah OK, I guess that was kind of far-fetched. Not as crazy as you might think though, considering some of the stuff scientists get up to. I remember seeing a documentary about a crazy japanese guy who launched all these expiditions because he was determined to find a glacierized mammoth and jurassic-park the species right back into existence by breeding mammophants of increasingly pure mammoth extraction. Nutter... although seeing a real live mammoth would be cool. (Unfortunately, I woulnd't get to, because with elephant/ mammoth gestation times he was looking at almost a hundred years to get a pure mammoth.)
