I hope NASA engineers double check the differences between the english and
metric measures before they push the button. Anyways one evening I saw a
NASA scientist on some pop TV show describing how Mars
could be tera-formed for human habitation in only a few hundred thousand
years.

I should hope by then our species has done what it has with microchips with
genetic engineering - engineering us bigger and better brains and longer
lives, so better, brighter humans can even design better and brighter
humans. At least if you have enough money to afford the drugs/genes.


NASA has their priorities messed up. They should put all the funds from
manned space projects (the shuttle, space station, et.) into nuclear
propulsion research. We need a plasma-fission (or fusion) MHD turbojet.

I personaly suspect if bad management doesn't destroy or retard us into
stagnation, our destiny is evolution into a quantum computing cortex
fabricated on a superdense neutron star. Only a few miles across, yet more
dense than a million earths. What would such a mind consider?

Probably how to keep selfish, wicked, viscious, criminaly insane mammals
that can't help devouring their own family (species) from getting any more
advanced technology and terrorizing the advanced galactic civilizations.

There goes the neighborhood!

If I met an alien, I would be horribly ashamed at the stuff that happens
down here. They would no doubt tell us to stop deceiving ourselves and grow
up, we cause them the same loathing and disgust we experience when we a
bunch of city gangsters selling each other poison (exploiting weakness of
the deluded sick) and shooting each other over 'turf'. Truly pathetic.

On behalf of the dignity and honor of humanity, we really should stop trying
to contact aliens untill we get our acts straight and grow up.
