      On the subject of exploring space, I'd like to inject the following. Ahem, I really really wanna! Dammit all, the idea of going to places no one has ever been... Surivivning on your own effort, no MickeyD's in sight in case things don't work out... aw christ yeah. I mean come on, do you people have no respect for the pionnering spirit? This time it'd be even better as we're pretty sure there are no martians we'd have to uproot onto reservations. To be working for the future of your children and their children in the sense of carving out a place in the world in actuall land terms ... Wow. That's the shit. Um... I guess I've still got that "childlike sense of wonder" Juju mentioned.
      Plus, when they do get to the point of colonizing other planets, poor people will get to go first. Have to, so the rich people will know it's safe. I would so be there...
      Ah well, not in this lifetime. Probably die in the attempt anyway.
