Almost the end of an era. So sad. Some things are just build to be used. They shouldn't become museum pieces. I do not agree with the commercialisation of space. And It Shouldn't Be Humans To Mars In 50 Years, It Should Be Humans To Mars In 10.

Of course specific guidelines and rules have to be set or else multinational (multiplanetary??) companies will end up exploiting everything like they have done here on Earth... _________________ "Never give up.

You *must* see this:

True Picard, but at the same time look how many civilizations were wiped out by that commercialisation. If we're not careful there are so many things that *could* go wrong if we allow the commercialisation of space. And that's why things should be done on a public and scientific basis for the benefit of all humankind.
... Two of the astronauts, Steve Bowen and Alvin Drew, are due to go on the first of two, six-hour spacewalks to install a new store room to the ISS. Just imagine your camera was good enough to see them doing it... _________________ "Anyone without a sense of humour is truly at the mercy of the rest of us." |
