The Russian News conference with the returning Soyuz crew has just finished. I found some of the comments by Yuri Shargin interesting on his impressions during his short trip into space. Essentially, that the earth is a very small place, A quite nice little village. But I refuse to call that Earth is merely a dot in the universe if it it's in order to demean Earth and its inhabitants (no matter what ever or who ever they are). and how thin the atmosphere is, that makes life possible on the Earth. And how does those atmosphere got here in the first place? How does all of Earth's water got here in the first place? How does we got here in the first place? That many of the problems on Earth seemed much more insignificant, Are there any big problems at all at Earth? Everyone knows that there are no big problems at all at Earth. and how important it is to take care of the Earth for the future. The Earth would be still be here even if we are gone, what is best is for use to use the Earth as best as possible while we are here. He thinks that politicians should take a trip into space. I hope it isn't intended to torture them. The trips to orbits are very difficult, both on the mental and the body. Of course, a short trip using SpaceShip One would be fine. How common are his thoughts about Earth after being viewed from orbit? I would think they are quite common. Either that, or it's just propaganda. The best comments probably could be get when they're up there, live, a spontaneous outburst. Since once they're back home or at the station, they're forced to say everything that the public relations (Ministry of Truth) want. I also wonder how the experience has affected the lives of astronauts and cosmonauts in the years after having such an experience. Well... Armstrong sure have been relatively been quiet since his last trip. On the other hand, Aldrin have been buzzing around a lot. So... It's just up to the person itself. But I suggest that every human citizen on Earth to go outside Earth, see the surrounding, socialize with the locals, and go back here. The best way of being a patriot is to travel to other places, that way one can better appreciate their own home. Sending politicians into space for an attitude adjustment before they begin there term in elected office sounds like a good idea to me. Heh, you probably also want them to serve in the Federal Service and have them being dropped from orbit during a war they participate first before they serve in the office. It should be noted that puppets are puppets, no matter where they are. You can't do an 'attitude adjustment' toward puppets. It could be one of the best investments that taxpayers could make. How could they done that when they even don't have the control in the first place? Any thoughts? Craig Fink Badnarik for President |
