Reply #242: We're very likely earthbound . . .

[defendandprotect]

limited by the Van Allen Radiation Belts --

and the Russian Cosmonauts seem to suggest that they had dead

comrades -- those who "volunteered" to go -- none we'll ever hear about.

May have been the same with us?

Doesn't our exploitation of this planet and its people, however, give you some caution

about flying thru space, jumping from planet to planet and destroying them?

What have humans done but destroy life with their violence?


Resources? In fact, if we don't soon develop a solar airplane, it will be likely that

either the price of oil or peak oil will ground all flights!

Natural resources are too often seen as something to be chewed up, pounded out --

Soon this blue planet will be a cement ball --

looking more like a crushed soccer ball having suffered having its ballast removed.


We are PART OF NATURE . . . every bit of it that we destroy is self-destruction.
