Danae is going to be responsible for WWIII

Yeah, I knew Lars would be involved. And why does everyone act so surprised when Captain Eddie is right. He is always right.

i bet you the moon is the mother ship that came with the aliens that jumpstarted humanity. prometheus and bob style. Lars doesnt want the military to find out coz there is alien tech/weapons still on the moon.

I guess the Martians do have interstellar travel technology after all.I’m assuming they turned the moon into a lifeboat in case of Earth’s doom. And it can cause Earth’s doom in the hands of the military. The Pentagon’s not looking for a starship, it’s looking for a weapon.

Why didn’t they just ask the aliens in the first place?

Please tell me it’s not ‘Lars from Mars’.

The moon used to be a nuclear waste dumping ground circling an earth-like planet. Then the waste went critical and caused the moon to go hurtling through the cosmos until it went into orbit around another earth-like planet.

Zimbo said: there is alien tech/weapons still on the moon.Don’t you mean IN the Moon? Wow this gives credence to that new “APOLLO-18” movie about why we stopped going there.

I’ve missed Lars

Cavebum seems to be channeling the opening bit for that ‘classic’ of SciFi…“Space 1999”. Horrible/embarassingly laughable show. .

Y’know… It all kinda makes sense. Which reeeeally wories me.

Zimbo: about the Transformer movie you borrowed that from…Chasm: 1999 got drug into this the day Danae hit us with the moon bit. Cavebum and you seem to have missed that shuttle…Puddle; if you got to steal an idea, one from HG Wells, (may she rest in Warehouse 13 happiness forever) is as good a source to steal from as any…(if you don’t watch the show,don’t hit me for the “she.”)

Danae will start the first interstellar war.

Fairport, yes it is a real concept. It was conceived decades ago, at least as far back as Robert A. Heinlein’s stories “Universe” and Common Sense", now collected in a book titled “Orphans of the Sky”. For all I know the idea is even older but hat is the earliest version I know of.

I think it’s been shown that Eddie was ruler of Mars for awhile. This might have been one of his government programs.

Sure there are alien tech weapons on the moon, why else would Jimmy Hoffa an Elvis be up there guarding them

As I recall, Lars is not from Mars but from an Earth-like planet in the same orbit as the Earth on the opposite side of the Sun.

“Space 1999” moon hurtling through space, old story line.

The moon is are shield against meteors. They can’t just take it. Plus I like looking at the thing!

Gee, Wiley, how nice of you to demonize the men and women of our armed services in your comics.
