Okay well, the site seems all well a great. But one thing i noticed is that constant fuzzy picture of the girl on the side. its just like the Channel 51 ad but theres no link when it does it. Plus, the equation thats on the About page, that ones kind of a tuffie.

yeah. that equation does actually exist, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation
however, in Athena's version they don't have a value in the equation that they account for below. Dunno if it means anything, though.
also, on the equipment page, 2 seconds after you click it, the woman changes to static.
They mention that women are best suited for space travel and exploration.
There's a link to the mackenzieking blog, which updated twice today, once with mention of weapons testing, then again with a mention of ufo fanatics from channel51.

The "change to static" is referred to in the source code as a "malfunction"
Apparently there might have been a "Contact" button (probably where the home and blog pages are) but it's not in the finished site.

Keep in mind that wikipedia is edited by anyone, so they could be wrong.

i found a possible way Fi could be left out. It represents the fraction of, out of all the planets that develop life how many will get intelligent life. So, one possiblitiy is that Fi is 1...meaning all planets with life go on to develop intelligent life. With Fi as one, it doesn't change the result of the equation, so they can remove the value and call it, I guess, 'simplification'.

I can't see anything concerning the post or the misspelled words. Anyone else spot anything?

ok the blog was updated today, sunday. short and sweet. i checked it awhile ago, and when i went back now, a word was bolded. that word was NOT bolded an hr. ago. me and hornet agreed on that. the word bolded is "former."
EDIT:
sorry, forgot something. it used to say "latter" where it now reads "former", and "former" is bolded. she is stressing she meant to say this in the first place. weird...
or, as Hornet suggested, someone in her company came back and changed it cause they disagreed with her original views.

she posted a continuation as well above. She uses the word "Two Worlds" which mean the Two Worlds of Aether, Light Aether and Dark Aether. She also mentions that the two worlds are at a constant war. Which means the war between the Luminoth and the Ing. This part strikes me:
Quote:
To accept this as truth is to live in stasis. We must step into the dark, travel through its many doors, its wastes, and its bogs and defeat the enemies of our own creation.
She must be referring to Samus in MP2. In the beginning she steps into Dark Aether to confront the Ing.
Also,
Quote:
A species that does not evolve, dies. This is the natural order of life. I choose to evolve.
I wonder what species she is referring to.
