Yes, I bribed and cheated to get this far
I thought this was guessed at already. I actually still believe this guy knows what he's talking about. I watched a show where he said, though, whether or not we should be sending signals out to other life forms that we're here because if they receive it and arrive, it usually doesn't go well (he was basing this off the history of how humans act when they arrive at a new land. i.e. the arrival of Europeans to America). Though, I honestly believe we might be the most intelligent life form in the universe. A majority of life in the universe are bacteria or animals that can't really think outside their own world. They just try to survive day-by-day. But honestly, even to legitimately start a permanent colonization at a place like Mars will take about 1,000 years National Geographic predicted (granted that includes actually making the planet itself livable)
Edit: Also, I think we should start preparing a way to defend ourselves against an asteroid as that is definitely more of a threat than a lot of other things. The world is due for such a global catastrophe

I advocate the baby step approach. Before we start thinking about putting humans in space, it might be a good idea to send out some homines sapientes to salvage MySpace.

We can't take care of ourselves on this planet why the hell should we contaminate space with societal idiocy.

If mankind held to that philosophy we never would've come out of the caves.

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
I have to agree with the people who say were too much of an arsehole race to be allowed to spread.
Of course, precisely BECAUSE were such arseholes, we won't spread.
Colonise space for the greater good of the species at an incredible cost or sit here and rip off the poor, go ask your banker which is the better investment.

Exactly. One only needs to go here on our very own forum to see what exactly it is I am talking about: http://board.freeones.com/showthread.php?t=424847
And by all respects, this is actually tame compared to some of the bullshit that is out there.
Yeah, I know. . .:horse:
My objections aside, however, this man does make a lot of sense. My main concern is the amount of resources left on this planet.

Another thought . . to all of those purveyors of hysteria:
Go onto Goog Earth and drop your cursor down on any random point in the USA and I'll betcha 9/10 times you'll end up in the middle of nowhere; this proves the point that we're largely undeveloped. Settle down, let's talk about this in the year 2100 or 2200.
and no need to freak over the global warming conspiracy that suggests that hurricane activity is on the up and up . . activity now is at a 30 year low.
Is it cocktail hour yet?
