Why Colonize Space?
Today I was reading some opinions of people who believe that there is
no reason for humans to leave earth. Are all arguments for moving into space and onto other bodies in space really that weak and irrelevant? |

What they actually did was **** on the claims about colonisation of space from a great height. Are all arguments for moving into space and onto other bodies in space really that weak and irrelevant? Yep. In spades with the stupid claim that we cant survive on just one planet. |

There is no important enough reason to use such copious resources on such a thing. It won't even begin to work. Mitch Raemsch |

Any scientific and industrial activity in an environment where there is no abundance of cheap human labor and free life support services can be performed much more efficiently using robotic equipment. |

Yep. In spades with the stupid claim that we cant survive on just one planet. The "When Worlds Collide" scenario isn't impossible. And given the mathematical expectation--once that scenario takes place, Earth is gone--it would be worth hedging that bet. -- Steven L. Email: Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. |

There's lots of theoretical, e.g. asteroid devastates the Earth, military, e.g. weapons platforms, emotional, e.g. we climbed the mountain, political, e.g. our flag is there, reasons for humans in space, there is just no economic reason for humans in space. The military will definitely have humans in space. As for anything else, it will depend on what value the nation or nations that put people in space put on non-economic reasons. The US put a huge value on the political value of beating the USSR to the Moon. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

So unlikely that it isnt worth spending that immense amount of money on. And given the mathematical expectation--once that scenario takes place, Earth is gone--it would be worth hedging that bet. Nope, insane to spend that sort of money on something that unlikely. And **** all would be stupid enough to want to be colonists to avoid such an unlikely possibility anyway. |
