...another thing, it will be equipped with solar panels, a sensible addition in a sun-drenched place like the inner solar system--and one that reduces the demands on fuel cells and batteries. It will also be able to either splash down in the water as the Apollos did or thump down under a parachute on dry desert. Finally, modern composite materials and computers will improve on the ungainly weight and clanking brain of the older ships. "It's like comparing today's 737s with the ones that flew in 1967," says Scott Horowitz, an associate administrator for NASA...
...goes against everybody's inner cynic to read (or for that matter to write) a sentence like the following: We are on the verge of the greatest age of creativity and innovation the world has ever known. It smacks of treacly dotcomism. It smacks of I Love the '90s. My inner cynic is a tiny bit queasy right now. But lately it's a conclusion I've had a hard time avoiding. Consider the following idea.

And a prominent theme, it seems, is that each side always ends up considering the other one barbaric. This debate is one that usually occurs in a realm ungoverned by reason. Likewise, it is simply a statement...
...wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to hear the dronorous Allen soliloquizing his inner thoughts whenever he gets sheep-dogified. When he finally gets captured by the bad guys (whose presence has something to do with a nebulous animal rights/genetic engineering subplot) you hope, just for a second, that they might put him down...
