[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] It would be interesting to see how we would colonize another planet. We would have the technology to observe and plan where we would set up settlements before we even step foot on that planet. Of course, wherever there are valuable resources, the gains may outweigh the risks. Originally, New Orleans was a key port since it's at the mouth of the Mississippi. Obviously the risks were insignificant to the gains at the time. Now, I don't know if it would be worth it since it's not really a major port anymore. As for disaster-free areas, IMO you'd have to abandon most of North America if you really wanted to be safe. Too many earthquakes, volcanos, tornados, hurricanes and floods. And there's that really pesky Super Volcano threatening us as well. "The exception being, any city in Finland." Anyone care to aim an asteroid in the general direction of Finland? :D B.J.
