237. And Homelessness and Unemployment don't bother you more?
Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 11:18 PM by defendandprotect
And do you really believe that you have been a beneficiary of what might have

been learned from Hubble? Mars? And, it was a large screw up to begin with!

JFK championed -- in the beginning -- exploration of space WITH THE RUSSIANS.


Unfortunately, I do think you naive --

If you grew up with "space travel," did you not notice how boring it was?

Viewers were clammoring to get "I Love Lucy" back . . . !!

Man is earthbound -- we cannot survive the radiation in outer space.

Even the MIR is in LOW EARTH ORBIT --

And males are said to often be cripped by their time in space, existing to a wheelchair.

Shannon Lucid held the record for a period of time -- and she is said to have walked off.

From the beginning, it was well known that it was FEMALES, not males, who were more suited

to be astronauts!


Career long Commercial pilots have been studied as seemingly having effects of

radiation even at the elevations of airplane flight!


Space is what's next; we left the caves, spread ourselves across the land, learned to sail the seas, and then the air itself. There is so much we can learn and do, and we have to go there to be able to do it.


Eh . . . this is actually the way you see history?

Rather, we took over this continent by violence --

and are essentially still warring on the Native American we've cheated in every way possible.

That gene pool also enslaved the African here -- and we're still in the same gene pool.

If we don't develop solar flight soon, planes will be grounded either due to price of oil

or inability to afford it! We've polluted the seas -- including with nuclear waste!

We've overpopulated the planet and destroyed nature at every turn -- to the extent we now

have Global Warming -- a harm which threatens not only humanity but the very existence of

this planet.

Shall we attempt to journey from planet to planet, destroying each as we move along?



It's late and I'm probably being unkind -- my apologies in advance.
