What's So Terrible About Kids?

--- Quote from: de_la_Nae on 08 Jan 2013, 18:43 ---Well in my defense I meant the void of space, not the void of entropy and annihilation that constantly hangs over our heads as an ever-vigilant companion, keeping the pace with us as an amoral and uncaring universe slowly digests our hopes and dreams and selves, crushing us between its gears of the cold laws of science and the hopeless futility of striving to be more than the barest hint of a drop in the vast wellspring of time.

I....wow. Yeah, I know you meant space, but the realization of the time and resources it will take just makes me want to get back into bed, hide under the covers, and think that maybe I'll wake up somewhere in the future, where the time's made up and the resources don't matter. Thanks, Drew Carey.

In fact, that's one of the standard arguments for a presence on the moon in the first place: A supply base and staging area in a not-so-deep gravity well.

One could also set up a small colony on the Moon and start mining resources from the asteroid belt. By the time we have a lunar colony, we probably would also have autonomous mining vehicles.
Oh, and some light reading on the possibilities of lunar water: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/ice/ice_moon.html

I know what you're saying, I just feel it's a narrow perspective. "Very little justification", what, I need a justification to have children, but you don't need one to not have one? If we're not free to do what we want with our bodies, our society is not worth saving and we can just give it all up right now.
Also on a less serious note... with your logic, the best thing we could do right now is probably to go out and try to kill as many people as possible and then end our own consuming, dirty existence.. :mrgreen:

In some respects, yes! But it's a matter of balance, really.

I do not disagree. One could make the case for it quite well. A sudden massive drop in the population of the species might be just what we need.
