[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 502779, member: 6390"] OK, let's see, how about some replies to points brought up thus far. Commo: Always gonna be problem. "I canna change the laws of physics, Cap'n!" Nuff said. Shipping: From the moon to earth is actually pretty easy. It's called magnetically fired shipping containers with parachutes. Real tough. The moon has a substancially lower speed requirement for breaking of it's gravity. Earth to other places: That's where we are going to have to expand technology, or do some good thinking. It can be done, and many people far smarter than I ahve theorized ways to do this. Budget: Oh yes. Slash the Defense Budget. Why is that always the first answer to everything? How about slashing other budgets instead of slashing a budget on something that is [edited to remove politics] What about cutting politicians pay? Big savings there. I can think of plenty of places to cut, and the Defense Department would be last. Why? Simple. We'll still need American soldiers and military technology advancements here on Earth. Going there: I'll go. I'll take my kids and wife. You sit on earth and suffocate from the over-population. Give me a base gene pool of 150 couples (That's 300 people) and as far as I'm concerned, we'll never allow anyone else to show up! But I'm greedy! :D A lot of us would go there, thrive off of the hardship and conditions, and rise to the challenge. Here's one problem though: If some dummy dies, when we're trying to colonize Mars, how quick do you think the program would be shut down in America? Can you say: Lightspeed? [/QUOTE]
