[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] [QUOTE]Humanity doesn't have thousands of years left. That is, if we don't begin to expand to new lands. [/QUOTE]The words "Bull" and "Shit" come to mind, though I can't say in no particular order. I'm for seeing space exploration as much as the next guy, but let's be realistic here. I'm quite sure humanity won't spontaneously explode unless we start colonizing the moon. Right now population growth in the developing world is somewhat coming under control (we're not quite applying the brakes yet, though we have eased off the accelerator). The UN now expects that in a century things will stabilize somewhere around the 10 billion ugly bags of mostly water-mark, in other words within the Earth's carrying capacity. There's no innate need to expand bacterially over everywhere and everything for fear that we're going to run out of agar. While a better space program may well make life easier for humanity through technological kicbacks, it isn't needed to save it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
