[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] *smack smack smack* There's no natives on the asteroids. You don't have to colonize at the expense of anybody else anymore. The real reasons to go into space are the eventuality that another dino-killer will hit, the fact that Earth has finite resources and space, and the fact that no matter what we do, eventually it will be uninhabitable, although that may take millions of years. Life's Prime Directives: Survive! Grow! Reproduce! Why not Mars? 2 words: "gravity wells." It is easier and cheaper in terms of 'lifting costs' (lifting bodies from the surface of a world to orbit or beyond and bringing them back) to do things in the microgravity of space than in any gravitational field, even Mars's.
