I believe the odds are 9-to-1 that Humanity will NEVER colonize off the Earth. The Capitalists have the race in a deathgrip, and the return-on-investment for space colonization moves is far too long for any Capitalist to accept, given the payback times exceed the Human lifespan.
The big problem is that we're going to be far too busy killing each other for barrels of petroleum, to bother with space programs. That accounts for a full third of my stated 9/1 odds. The next third is roundly taken care of by GREED. And the last third? RELIGION. With OIL, GREED and RELIGION, there's no sane chance that Humanity will EVER expand beyond the Earth before constant warring destroys too much of Human civilization before the ultimate collapse down to a pervasive pastoral existence.
In other words, the Humans of the 31st Century will live in log cabins and won't venture more than 20 miles from their birthplaces during their entire lives. The "Dream of Oil" has to die.
>>53 Do you think we humans will eventually colonise mars, and/or other planets? What evidence is there for or against it? Is it a good idea? Thoughts/info/opinionsarguements would be fun to read :)
"WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court will have the final say on whether war preparation trumps whale protection.
Acting at the Bush administration's urging, the court agreed Monday to review a federal appeals court ruling that limited the use of sonar in naval training exercises off Southern California's coast because of its potential to harm marine mammals.
Sonar, which the Navy relies on to locate enemy submarines, can interfere with whales' ability to navigate and communicate. There is also evidence that the technology has caused whales to strand themselves on shore.
The Navy argues that the decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco jeopardizes its ability to train sailors and Marines for service in wartime in exchange for a limited environmental benefit. "
Everybody and nice to meet you! I'm Akina. I'm an one's own pace, and the blog of daily life and the idea to which the photograph readily is suitably exchanged and written.
