	** I always wondered why we would call "earth" something different in the future.

	*** Well, I suppose it's for the same reason as referring to our Sun as Sol, as Terra is similarly the latinate for Earth. :) --[[User:RobertDaeley\|RobertDaeley]] 11:45, 22 May 2005 (PDT)		*** Well, I suppose it's for the same reason as referring to our Sun as Sol, as Terra is similarly the latinate for Earth. :) --[[User:RobertDaeley\|RobertDaeley]] 11:45, 22 May 2005 (PDT)
		+	**** Actually the only (or better the most common) usage for Sol is as a name for our solar system (something like "Come on, let's fly to SOL.") not just the sun... which is kinda funny when you think about it :D [[User:pontiac\|Pontiac]] 14:54, 22 May 2005 (PDT)
