#1 Re: Human missions » Space and Humankind! - why we HAVE to go into space Big Time » 2002-06-26 10:25:07

Human Beings are a very young species, it thinks that it is grown up, as do all young primates, but it is not.
We still squabble over the Planet Earth, who has the right to live where, we draw lines on maps and and insist that certain Human Beings must live within the confines and only move to another part of the Planet with permission. Earth is an Island, we have no where else to go at this time, it is our nest.
If we do not progress as a species, not as individual Nations, but as a species, we will die along with Earth when, for what ever reason, beit today or in several hundred million years hence, it is destroyed.
This is as sure as life itself, everything dies including Planets and Stars. The Universe is is far more violent than we could ever imagine. We actually know very little about it, much is suposition, what we think is fact will be overidden in the future with new fact
We must colonise, not just Mars (although this is a begining) but our own Galaxy and the Universe.
If we do not make great effort to pull together, we will die like the fledglings in the nest.
Our destiny is out there, not on earth, our womb of our life. We must emerge from this womb and seek our destiny, which, as a species, were created for. If we are the most advanced inteligent life there is out there, then if we did become extinct the Universe would have come into exsistance for nothing, what a waste of a Universe.

Lets go for it, starting with Mars. The time is now!
