    Oh and as far as living on Mars, two words, DOOM 3.

    That is all.

    Umm, that's one word and a number... sheesh... ;)

    Maybe we can bottle that water!

    They didn't happen to find oil?

    No, but they did find water and liquid ethane on Titan (Saturn's largest moon), which is a key component of crude oil.

    Exploration rights are currently under development. ;)

    If they find oil, gas prices would totally come down. ;)

    We can't get along with with our own people on our own damn planet...so now we have to look for others to mess with!! I'd like to know the dollar figure for this "spectacular" find. How's about spending it to fix the mess we created here. Just a thought.

    I agree with that plus if they have newer and better weapons were toast

    Not to pick a fight, but the side benefits of space projects and explorations have led to advances in medicine, engineering, and other disciplines as well.

    Being an engineer, I used to subscribe to the publication "NASA Tech Briefs" - the spinoffs have been positive for all that are earthbound.

    Count me in the group that is all for pushing outwards.

    Outwards has reached its logical limits. We would have to go far beyond what we consider logical/practical to benefit too much from further travel. The benefits you tout mostly were derived from the need for lighter, stronger, faster, better just to escape Earth.

    Law of diminished returns apply to space travel too........and as with most things, privatization would bring more rewards at less cost. The rewards haven't really been great enough or business would have seen the clear advantages and the richest companies/people on Earth would be those in the space biz getting paid by those paying to leave Earth.

    It's POS so that would be no great loss.

    In fact, if NASA launched you into outer space.......that wouldn't be a bad idea either.
