What are those things you've heard of, or wished for, that you would like to see happen for real JUST ONE TIME.
For me:
1. An armadillo that died of natural causes. (All Texans will understand this)
2. Bill Clinton turn to Hilary in public and say "Woman! Make me a sandwich!"
3. Someone actually beat a red-headed stepchild.
4. Someone donate an piano or organ to a church that actually worked.
5. Menard say: "You know, this would have been a good movie if it weren't for all those boob scenes."
6. Jerry Springer look at a guest and say: "You abnormal FREAK! Get off my show!!"
7. Uwe Boll saying: "My movies suck. I'm going to become a librarian instead."
8. Someone actually measure how much fun a barrel of monkeys can really be.
What about you?

Darfur, Indy. That was a emotionally draining experience and I cried at the end of it.
Reading an account by Penn Jillette cemented this for me. I want to be physically present for a space launch.
One, I'm a space nerd and I am still to this day crazy about space exploration, and nuts to the naysayers!
But the way Penn describes it is wonderful. Naturally, you are seated miles away from the launch site. So the first thing you see is the light and sound of the space launch. You get that moment when you get to consider the majesty of humanity reaching beyond this tiny bubble, striving for the stars. And then right after that, a complete wall of sound envelops you, furiously loud.
Proof of the legitimacy of human endeavor. Sounds great, I would love to see it before I die.

That does sound beautiful. Once, I almost got to see a space shuttle launch. They canceled it before it took off due to bad weather. :bluesad:

Me too. I love to watch old Apollo launch footage, and it makes me a little sad when I think that I was a toddler when the last Saturn V flew. The Saturn V is almost like some great extinct beast. Once the earth shook with the power of their engines, but now you can only view a couple of carcasses mounted in museums. And now the same has happened to the shuttles.
I am, however, very encouraged by the ongoing development of new deep-space craft and heavy-lift boosters. Worried that the projects will be pushed back, cut back and dropped, of course, but still encouraged. If another lunar mission takes place in the next ten or fifteen years, I think I will try to see the launch in person. That's assuming it launches from Florida, and not Kazakhstan, South America or China.
I've seen mostly all I want to see from the seven wonders of the world to a space launch. I guess I'd like to go to space and/or come in contact with a UFO and get off this planet.

Got to see this at a film festival, not this past weekend but the weekend before. It was awesome.
I can't really think of anything because anything that I would want to see once I'd probably want to see multiple times.

Watching a PBS show about Chernobyl, & how wildlife has rebounded, when it should be a desert.
Pripyat & Kiev were major cities, now covered in greenery.
Haunting, it would be so cool to see.

I wouldn't mind seeing Pripyat myself. A whole abandoned city from 1986, gradually being reclaimed by vegetation. Must be really something to see in person.
I don't guess I realized that Kiev had been abandoned. That is remarkable!

Sorta blows the lid off the concept of Mad Max & every ripoff ever made. I mean, the very concept, not just of the Earth & Nature, but the resilience & perseverance of life itself would be great for a B-Movie. Of course, the landscape would be scarred, but time & nature could heal it'self faster than we think. A prime example would be The Petersburg Crater.
I live just an hour or so away, & keep meaning to revisit the crater, but just never get around to it.

Well yeah, when you actually read about nuclear power and nuclear warfare, it's amazing some of the exaggerations we accept as fact. Things do not stay lethally radioactive for thousands of years after they're contaminated. The most radioactive substances decay the fastest, which is why they're so radioactive. They're gone in months, weeks, even days. A few moderately radioactive elements will hang around for years. The ones with half-lives in the thousands of years are much more stable, and less radioactive.

Oh
you! :lookingup: The
city of Kiev is just fine: my sister was living there in the 90's. They were warned to be wary of where their food had been grown: people were eating radioactive produce.
The abandoned city of Pripyat is in Kiev
Oblast (province).
That makes much more sense, thanks!

This thread reminds me of a comedy song I used to get a kick out of back in the day. Doesn't mean quite what it did when it was recorded (1979) though.
