SpaceGuy - re: your tagline

HURRY!
— Steve Rosenberger

can i add you to my page
— EVANCURETON

As much as I am into exploring space, I can not see us colonizing another planet anytime in the near future. True, the technology exists, but the cost of transporting basic life support to another world is not feasable. I mean, we could theoretically do it, but there is not enough money on the planet.

I hate to be a kill-joy, but I know a little about living and surviving in a hostile, alien enviroment. I was on a submarine. If I were not inside the craft, I would be crushed by the weight of the "atmosphere", and even if I werent immediately crushed, I wouldn't be able to breathe.
Everything we needed to eat, drink, smoke,breathe, etc, had to be brought along with us, or manufactured by us. I am sure you could go to the navy and get a ballpark figure for the daily cost of keeping a 120 man crew in a sub.

Unless you know something I don't.......I don't see it happening anytime in the near future.
