Subject: Re: The situation at Fukushima appears to be deteriorating

 

This is certainly one subject on which I totally agree with you, Chris.

 

And if we do hit the wall, we'll be back in the Middle Ages - for good this
time, or at least until some extinction level event finishes us off -
something that would have been trivial to avoid if we'd grown up and become
a star faring species.

 

Don't get me started lol.. We could have gotten off this planet and learned
to begin to live off the land up there - the resource base of the moon and
the NEOs, being the first off world  - low delta velocity -- treasure troves
of every resource we would need in order to build a truly scalable
micro-gravity industrial base.. in a halo orbit around the earth-luna L1 or
L2 la grange points. But instead we opted to burn it all up in the zero sum
game of the Cold War and turned our backs on space. Now I doubt we have the
available extra resources we would need in order to get off planet and build
an  space based industrial base. At the crucial moment our species displayed
a definite lack of vision and a misplaced priorities.

We are dumb apes after all.

Chris
