Say what?

I respond when I choose to respond.  You use Google; I use TeraNews.
Obviously you've not yet mastered the intricacies of the
store/forward/publish/subscribe system that is UseNet.

Why are you so afraid of those who profess the Jewish faith?
Are they that dangerous with their yarmulkes and three-piece suits?

(Disclaimer: I'm an atheist.)

An intelligent question!

More like napkin calculation parameters in my case.  I suppose I could
look up the Russian missions and calculate a more precise value for the
amount of propellant/energy required.  I'm not sure there's much point.

I'd like to know where you get the notion that:

[a] the Moon is salty, and
[b] Mars is not.

Especially since there are so many forms of salts, especially if one
goes into the organic realm.  One salt, for instance, is baking soda;
it's a combination of sodium and the acid/ketone (HO)2C=O, which is
close to formic acid (HCOOH) and oxalic acid (COOH)2, but isn't
either one.
