other than using satellites, but that's where there are basically unlimited amounts of basic minerals, which we will eventually deplete on earth.

Any thoughts on funding for NASA, physics related to space travel, and Hubble type projects? - shikantaza 2012-02-27 09:36:37 (76 views)

The value that it provides for interest and enthusiasm in science and technology is worth it alone. - Thelonious Dunk 2012-02-27 15:43:26 (35 views)

Exactly, eff you luddites! - nomad 2012-02-27 18:58:01 (35 views)

Love outer space but inner space is the final frontier, and the most significant. Consciousness FTW. - BackseatGM 2012-02-27 11:05:48 (31 views)

So you're suggesting they spend the NASA budget on peyote? - fanofnothing 2012-02-27 12:17:50 (31 views)

That wasn't what I had in mind but it would allow a close up view of far away worlds, lol. - BackseatGM 2012-02-27 14:12:32 (30 views)

Long term vs. short term thinking - got to have both. - nomad 2012-02-27 10:51:12 (44 views)

So...both Nasa AND Peyote? - rem rehab 2012-02-28 10:51:19 (37 views)

Yes!!! - nomad 2012-02-28 11:47:44 (24 views)

+1 - nomad 2012-02-27 10:52:39 (32 views)

We waste more money on things that give less return IMO - Shallow Hal 2012-02-27 09:57:35 (37 views)

Agreed. I'm a fan. - nomad 2012-02-27 10:36:07 (32 views)

One thing to keep in mind as well are the peripheral benefits of NASA - fanofnothing 2012-02-27 09:53:15 (69 views)

Absolutely. About your first paragraph, I've read that the benefits were something like 10 to 1 - nomad 2012-02-27 10:29:51 (58 views)

And all without blowing anyone up as a side effect. - Dick Nikon 2012-02-27 12:15:04 (33 views)

One could argue that DARPA totally transformed the world - Earl j. Slick 2012-02-27 11:32:12 (48 views)

And continues to do so. - nomad 2012-02-27 11:39:46 (31 views)

The only question on new tech developments to me is whether there's a better big picture target - fanofnothing 2012-02-27 10:42:12 (46 views)

Agreed. The excitement is key, imo. - nomad 2012-02-27 10:52:03 (30 views)

I just want to be able to fill space with advanced weaponry - Earl j. Slick 2012-02-27 10:14:42 (52 views)

I think it's really, really fortunate that such vast distances separate us - fanofnothing 2012-02-27 10:43:28 (51 views)

+1.. Alien Apocalypse would be no joke. - Captain Hindsight 2012-02-27 14:28:01 (32 views)

Unless of course they are intelligent enough to deal with us. - Earl j. Slick 2012-02-27 11:36:37 (57 views)

It assumes that there is some chance that a species both dominates its ecosystem enough - fanofnothing 2012-02-27 12:12:32 (42 views)

Think of them as a source of cheap protein! - Earl j. Slick 2012-02-28 09:22:38 (30 views)
