    Are you kidding me? This thing is the setting for every horror scenario set in the north/south polar regions. It's all shiny and futuristic until zombie snow monsters start to kill you.

    Psht this is pussy travel. I traveled around the poles all the time with nothing but a thong and a dead bird. This is a shame.

    I don't understand why anyone would want that much glass on a vehicle like that. Do you know how much colder even a window can make a room?

    @Imagism: Apparently you have never lived in a cold country. Say it with me people: Triple layer argon insulated glass.

    We have massive windows at my house, yet even when the snow reaches up to the 2nd story it's nice and warm inside.

    @TheLostVikings R.O.A.C.H.: Apparently houses in my country suck then. Living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Fancy ourselves relatively cold compared to the weather down south. Just don't care enough to actually get proper insulating apparently. Very jealous of your heating systems.

    Two thoughts: 1) It's go much too high a profile and is likely to blow over in a storm. 2) It's got way too much glass to keep the interior at a comfortable temperature.

    Looks pretty cool, though I'd add tracks all the way back, not just up front.

    @lun: The ice will be four or more feet thick, weight won't be a problem. After two feet you can drive your pickup truck on it, slowly.

    @nutbastard: Seriously dude? I think you're putting far to much faith in our inglorious leaders. I'd buy the "global conspiracy" angle, if I wasn't also well aware that the conspirators are all incompetent boobs. I know, I know, you're thinking "But Dan, they can't actually be THAT incompetant irl (or afk, or however you want to say it)"


    But based on personal experience, I'm pretty sure that they are.

    @DeusExMach:


    Not in our leaders, in Black Projects. The USA spends as much on defense as the rest of the world combined - and that's just what's ON the books. The Black Budget has been incredibly huge for a long, long time, and it seems to me Occams Mach 3 points to UFO sightings being advanced military craft, as opposed to being alien in nature.


    So if there's ANY substance to even one UFO sighting, we either have invented some amazing shit, or we've back engineered some amazing shit - the LEAST likely of the implications is either there are no legitimate UFO sightings, or they are alien in nature but we haven't harnessed their tech in usable form.


    With the type of craft reported being seen, travel to mars would be trivial.


    I just can't believe we've been pouring trillions of dollars into black projects and the best we have is a a shuttle that's the space faring equivalent of a Pinto.

    During the fall of the Third Reich, Hitler no longer had any time to focus on his diabolical scheme to launch Nazi superman on the moon to bring his diabolical plan of global conquest into fruition. He did, however, find humor and laughter in the most unlikely situation, as told by this dramatization here.


    Let's not worry about any pesky Skynetz today. It's Friday.

    The consperiacy nut in me thinks that the military never stopped trips to the Moon and already have a base on the dark side. This could just be a way of making us think that NASA did it.

    @reddingofish: Ever notice the base in Close Encounters of the Third Kind was called "Darkside of the Moon"? Coincidence? I think not.
