And, I guess, Bill Maher is a right-wing nutty? He believes Mars and Moon missions would be a great waste of money.
The Bible isn't holding us back....it's our lack of imagination and lazy jokes and the conflation of capital and fiat currency.

- rbanffy 12y ago> He believes Mars and Moon missions would be a great waste of money. If they fail to inspire people to continue exploring, yes. I would prefer Moon missions because they'd be cheaper and, as far as inspiration goes, they'd achieve the same results. How many brilliant people have chosen to dedicate their talents to building web technologies because space is no longer cool? Also, being able to build self sustaining off world colonies may prove handy if we end up unable to stop climate change...
- chenelson 12y agoI think if something is inspirational, it must be realizable; thus, unless we're talking about mining the moon and requiring human's for labor, we're going to miss the point. Climate change on Earth is a constant, and if time is x, human existince is a speed bump.
