Christine (and X), <<She definitely did not have the perspective of bearing children who will inherit the earth, or even of trying to keep a marriage together, which requires a great deal of work.>> laissezfaire.org <<The problem with space colonization is that it may take much longer than we expect it to, and help only the very rich. However, the IDEA of space colonization is dangerous because it allows some very bright people who could be our best thinkers to treat the planet earth as a resource to be pillaged instead of respected and nurtured.>> Have you heard of Mars Direct? Read "The Case for Mars" by Robert Zubrin. He believes that by "living off the land", i.e. utilizing the resources available on Mars itself, that we can begin to colonize Mars within the next decade, for a cost of $20-30 billion, using existing or soon-to-be-developed technology. The Earth (and Mars) need not be a resource to be "pillaged". Just "utilized", as it is every time you pick up a copy of the S.F. Chronicle, for example. Skipper
