Stephen Colbert made big news last week when he said he was officially running in the Republican primary in his home state of South Carolina. The problem was, he was too late to apply to get his name on the ballot and there is no write-in space on the South Carolina ballot.
Just before the human fleet warps to Sirius, there's a passing comment "We haven't yet found our way back to the Earth"*, which is one reason why the events of the film play out the way that they do. However the FTL works, A > B isn't reversable.

FASS is celebrating its 50th Anniversary!
Jan. 21st, 2012 04:51 pm
The FASS Theatre Company is serious about having fun -- we're a live cartoon on stage! We've been entertaining UW with variety and musical comedy since 1962, making us UW's longest-operating amateur theatre group. While the most fun occurs in January when over 100 cast and crew rehearse and prepare the show just in time for February, you can join us in our social events all year round!
FASS stands for Faculty, Alumni, Staff and Students. We welcome anyone and everyone and each year we see new friendships created and old ones renewed. If we're not too busy laughing at ourselves in rehearsals, trading jokes at writers meetings or sharing donuts backstage, you'll probably find us going out to a movie or throwing a famous FASS Party!
