Good point. But hopefully evolution will cull all of the stuff we as
humanity hate about ourselves....but then I wonder what would be left...

I'm still not convinced that we as a species are fit to colonize this
planet...

Subject: Space Colonization -- Good or Bad Idea
I havent seen a thread on this list about this topic in a while, and in
light of the upcoming Bush speech on a permanent Moon base as well as a
manned mission to Mars.
I think we should colonize space. It's a good idea for our species as a
whole. Maybe, eventually it will relieve some of the pressures we are
inflicting on the earth, although I have a sneaking suspicion that there
wouldnt really be a huge push to do this until we were as a species
strapped
for recources here on Terra Firma.
Also, hopefully another space race with lofty will push technology
forward
again, maybe even help us figuire out fusion power.
I happen to think that civilizations should have at least one great
project
that they are working on. Okay, maybe that is from too many months
playing
the Civ games but it seems to make sense. They spark techology advances,
and
employ vast amounts of people.
So what do you guys think?
Plus, we may one day have ray guns!!!!
