I quoted Oppenheimer, because it should raise one or two questions:

Would it really be a good idea to always try out what we as the mankind can think of / can ((in theory) (possibly)) do?

Is it always ethic to do so?

Nuking something with or without intention is one thing, but to unleash some power of even a larger scale than the atomic one , if it were possible, might be the ultimate destroyer of the world.

You need to quote Jurassic Park to reach people with that message now days.

Don't worry.

It's for "peaceful purposes only."

@ Torplexed:

Yes, that scene was epic and perhaps inspired by ethics.

On a side note, the cartoons you come up with from time to time are just brilliant.

I suspect that my avatar, which I was awarded with some moons ago, has your copyright stamp on it ?

Yeah, that looks like my invasive art style. Draw with a heat-ray, and wait for the inevitable earth bacteria to settle me back down.

Should be ready to mount on the first interstellar warp ship at about the same time.

Now, how can I get a seat on that puppy and blow this popsicle stand of a planet?

That is actually the divine mission as god has several other startups in other 'goldlocks zone' planets.
