jelly, Re: then for most of our history, the word "ship" means "space ship". ABC is going to try to rot the American mind on Tuesday evening with a 2-hour special on "UFOs". You really must attend to your brainwashing by the corporate media. Please tune in, so that the mind rot will take effect. Cordially, Your MK-Ultra Friend

The idealism I am talking about is The Dream. The Dream is the idea that humans can exist beyond the life span of the Earth. If that is the case, then for most of our history, the word "ship" means "space ship". The dream is dead. This country has become so corrupted it doesn't even know what's good anymore. The Europeans, the Japanese and the Chinese are pushing ahead into the next frontier.....space....while we play a tin god in the ME. ted

combjelly, The idealism I am talking about is The Dream. The Dream is the idea that humans can exist beyond the life span of the Earth. Just out of curiousity, what is the prognosis, and what is going to make end its life span. I understand catastrophic events, such as comets or asteroids that can come about, and losing intensity of the Sun. I am guessing here, but I guess that the time frame for the Sun measurably affecting the Earth (causing global winter forever, if alternative energy is not found) is 100s of thousands of years to millions of years. On this scale, there are much more pressing needs in the short run, that will determine if there is going to be a long run. Another thing is what may take 10% of planet's equivalent of GDP may take 1% 50 years from now or 0.1% 100 years from now with help of technological advancements and economic growth. If you are to make a bet, wouldn't you rather bet 0.1% of the planetary product than 10%? In one case, failure is almost free, in the other case, the failure results in unimaginable pain and suffering. Joe
