Think of Venus as the ultimate mineral and raw element candy shop of
just about anything you can imagine, along with its very own surplus
of local energy to burn (so to speak).

That's not in dispute. Collecting it and getting it here is the problem.
Any ideas needs to be somewhat practical, at least not go too far
beyond the bounds of possibility. Which is why I oppose the whole
to the Moon and Mars notion. It's such a long long road, how can
you get enough support for something so distant in the future?
Where even our children won't see the results, let alone us?

True enough, and that's why we need that Boeing OASIS or Clarke
Station that's relatively easy and efficient to accomplish and sustain
at our Selene/moon L1.

However, compared to Mars, Venus is a no brainer, and there's
certainly lots more to see and do. It's also not nearly as
insurmountable for humans as you might care to think. Something
robotic or some kind of intelligence has already been there, but for
the moment you'll need at least one good eye and a open deductive
thinking mind-set in order to notice. Most here in Usenet/newsgroups
are parrots of the mainstream status quo, and thus either unable or
too afraid to deductively think or logically interact.


*Even though we'll be at best
second to whomever is already there, it's certainly nearby and large
enough, as well as geologically active enough for accommodating us and
a few others to mine and share its wealth. *But then you're not really
here to honestly mine or share anything, so what's the difference?

I've been here for several years, saying the same things over and over.
It seems to annoy OM and Pat when I change my handle around
that's all that's about. I think killfiling is juvenile, and I'm treating them
in kind.

I'm afraid that's the best we can do, especially since they are each
public funded and continually receiving added support plus those
Brownie Points from their faith-based (pretend-Atheist and mostly
republican) peers and minions. I agree that "killfiling is juvenile",
whereas such killfiling is exactly the sort of thing Hitler would do
whenever he couldn't actually kill the messenger.
