'Space!' The Final frontier, Do you think?

Question

that countries should now really get together, stop fighting; then aim to colonise other planets together?

The cost of Wars are in the way of our Future!

Global Warming, or a massive catastrophy, may engulf our planet.
The warning signs are all there! Naturally and Scientifically!

so what is there to fight for?

As there will be nothing left... Unless we get together!

How do You think?

If anybody wants to stay and fight amoungst themselves over the last of the world resourses, let them stay...

WE will all go! Or our children will if not us!

tell me your views please!

no... we can't afford to do it properly answer 4! because of wars etc!

Answer 1

yes, that is a great idea but sadly, all the countries' leaders are not as smart as you seem to be. we would have to keep some people on earth to send supplies, and we would need much more research to protect us from impacts, radiation, and many other space hazards. aerogel would protect from the temperature changes, but it is very fragile, and would have to be sandwiched in bulletproof glass or better. also, it is very expensive. it is about $1,000,000 dollars a launch and even more for the equipment. it would require quite a few launches, and much time. if the world was perfect and everyone agreed, this would be very possible. we could make 5 launches a day if everyone worked together.

edit
YES we did land on the moon. it is not a waste, and the atmosphere would burn any flipping thing that touched it. you two answerers above me need to grow up and be creative. yes, we do need to spend more time with our own planet but we can also try to expand our knowledge.

Answer 2

the answer from Crabby Blindguy (above) places it genuine into perspective. The impression in words of greenhouse gas emissions from abode flight truly is in straightforward words an somewhat tiny percentage of the completed volume. i understand a few adult males and ladies persons percentage a obstacle that the rockets and shuttles are knocking holes interior the ambience. even if this isn't inspite of that human beings pick problem about. A rocket flying into abode pushes air out of the excellent way because it travels merely as we do at the same time as utilising a motorcar or running down the street. once the rocket strikes on air rushes lower back in to fill the void and through this understand it really is now not causing any damage.

Answer 3

I believe we all should be working together,not against each other like we've been doing. If the human race would concentrate its energies away from greed and violence, and toward technology (for the use of ALL) just think of the advances we could already have made. Colonizing another planet aside, we could at least do more exploration. And the "simple" act of working together could solve tons of problems we have in the here-and-now.

As a child of the 60's frankly I'm disappointed. I thought by now I would have a pair of personal droids like R2D2 and C3PO. And where is my Jet Pack? Not to mention Teleportation!

Answer 4

glad you asked this question; see some of my questions they are a lot like some of yours.

I think that the problems we have to solve in order to colonize space are hyperboles of the problems we have to solve to inhabit our own planet and maintain a balanced ecosystem. Its clear that we don't know how to use technology in balance with nature, and this has me both perplexed, because i find the answers are there, and the alternatives are real and angry, because i see that those alternatives are not being explored. For instance, cable cars using hydrothermal power could provide mass transportation to a large city a tiny fraction of the energy costs.
It wouldn't be really more expensive than putting a new road in
three times, and it would be an investment infrastructure that would allow civilization to continue without oil. Next question;
where to get energy on some uranus moon? Same solution;
tap geothermal heat if you can find it.

Permaculture and arcologies are the two main technologies i see
transforming our civilzation incredibly if we only let them. Those sciences are being held back by power and greed mongers who don't want us all living off the food we grow in our own yards instead of going to the supermarket. Space is the ultimate political issue, because the republicans want to militarize it, like the "BORG" and any sane other person wants to colonize it;
aka" Starfleet."

Our own solar system could support thousands of new civilizations on places as exotic as neptunian moons or oort cloud objects such as sedna.

But before we bother, we might as well practice in our own oceans and Antarcitica and ETC. we might as well see it as a whole civilization problem. Getting into space isn't as easy as designing the ships; its as complicated as beating out borg style
capitalism as the dominant force in American Capitalism.

Americas identity is at stake and star trek is our prophet.
Will we become The Federation? The Ferengi? The Borg? The Klingons? Our possible futures hinge on wether or not we confront fascism in america in the form of the bush admin and the republican spin doctoring machine, and embrace a possible future of cooperation and love instead of domination and sadism
as the ruling idealogies of our foreign policy.

Answer 5

The human race as a whole will never be able to cooperate. Differences between cultures is the fuel of war. Every organism is programmed to want to be at the apex of the evolutionary ladder. Humans are not content with sharing that place with others even of the same species. It's one of the reason's we're doomed.

Global warming is another problem fueled by the fact that we are programmed to consume and with that consumption begets production begets pollution.

Answer 6

We are not going anywhere. Your children are not going anywhere. We can't send 7 men and women up to replenish a damn orbiting space station without crap falling off of it or spewing them all over the entire state of Texas. How in the sam hell are you going to go to another inhabitable planet when we do not even know of one that exists in this solar system?
You need to lay off the Star Trek and Tang and worry more about what is going on down here on the planet you live on not on some fantasy in outer space.

Answer 7

as long as there are two different opinions, there will be disagreement and as long as there is RIGHT and WRONG, there will be war- there has to be. There is a lot to fight for as long as there are evil men in this world who would sacrifice children, have no respect for the sanctity of life and are ruled by greed and power- it is up to the righteous to stand up for their own rights and to stand up for and protect the rights of the innocent who have no voice. We cannot give up our standards, our beliefs our way of life for a false sense of peace.
No war at what cost- the cost of our children's lives, the cost of our individuality and democratic rights, the cost of oppression and giving up our moral standards, the cost of freedom.
Yes, it would be great for us all to agree, (on what?) and for no man to lose his life or have to take the life of another in the manner of war, but as long as there is evil in the world, war is necessary and though the cost is hard to bear at times, the alternitive in unthinkable!
As far as colonizing on oher planets, to me this is ludicrous. This earth was created to sustain the life that God put here - it was created perfectly for us- though it has been abused and taken for granted, it still serves its puprpose as well as it can. No other planet was created this way and it would be a huge unreasonable risk to toy around with using technology to make other planets livable for humans. Besides, we ought to learn to appreciate and take care of what we have before we think about going to trash other planets!

Answer 8

We never even landed on the moon. Space Exploration has been a gigantic waste of money.
