    Without the cold war driving the space programs how do you think we should encourage more space exploration. I would like to see a moon colony within the next 10 years but it appears no one really cares anymore. Nothing unites people like a common goal and thats what the current problem is with the outbreak of conflict in the World.

    Buon voyage, I'll spend a coin to sponsor your trip to the Moon: you and your fellows can dig as much stones as you want to, and leave the rest of us to enjoj the beauty of forrests we'll revive.

    LMAO!!!

    I think I'll decline the invitation to work on the moon colony too!!

    How about something useful like stamping out typhoid or AIDS or child abuse? I don't see the point of going to the moon with so many direct problems staring at us here.

    The last thing I heard about space exploration was that they decided if you landed on Mars you'd break your legs because you wouldn't be using them for so long.

    And what is wrong with having an exercise bike on the space ship to keep your legs moving?

    See this is the shit im talking about. No one gives a damn anymore about the space program. IF you don't want your spots on the moon colony all the more room for me! I'll set up a mining corporation on the moon how would you like that.

    IP I agree.
    Capitalism has progressive features, and even if it has got its priorities all wrong it does do some pretty amazing things.

    Man's dearest possession is life, and since it is given to him to live but once.He must so live that dying he can say, all my life and all my strength have been given to the greatest cause in the world, the liberation of mankind
    Ostrovski

    Muriel Spark:

    If I had my life to live over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

    the space program has proved its virtue in the past. billions of dollars aimed towards getting a person to the moon, not for the homeless, not for the sick, elderly, and diseased, not to stop world hunger, not to help the less fortunate, but to get a man to step on the moon.
    Has everyone noticed how much we have gained from a man steppning on the moon.

    how i see it, screw the mood, screw space, we have very serious problems right in front of our faces, lets fix that first, then we go to the moon.

    Moskitto:what would happen on Mars is:
    1) the gravity on Mars is lower thamn is on Earth
    2) human heart is positioned in upper 1/3 of a body, bcs it has to give more push to blood when goes in brain, then when it goes in legs - the gravity makes the blood go in legs naturally
    3)so - human legs would stunt in that conditions
    4) CAPIES GO TO MARS and to Moon
    5)the 1st man in space was a russian

    Which is SO true.But if we somehow manage to avoid destroying ourselves,and our life-support system(planet Earth),then the Sun is definately going to do it for us.Life is about the continuation of species,so research into interstellar travel is still a valid point.
    Oh!No!....I sort of agree with IP........
