I'm devastated.

ignore the fact that scifi has used the theme for decades, but it is in space our future must lay.

Our population continues to grow, and without resorting to draconian measures, it wil keep growing for the forseeable future. Where can we send people? to space. How will we continue to learn about it without nasa continuing to develop new tech? Does anyone really expect the chinese to share their knowledge about space if they beome the leading space exploration nation in 20 or 30 years?? I sure dont.

One day the earth won't support humans. where will we go? Setting up fledgling bases on the moon and on mars are imho imperative to our ultimate survival.
