Will we do it at some point anyway or do we need to be trying a lot harder now to achieve it? On a similar note, does planetary protection of Mars matter? Should we be THIS careful, or should we just…Continue

While colonizing space (moon, Mars, etc.) what sort of government will be created(decided upon) by the people who will do the colonization?
Started by AtheistTech. Last reply by Madhukar Kulkarni Jan 7, 2012. 12 Replies 0 Likes
My guess is that primarily scientists will be the ones colonizing the Moon and Mars. If I am right, then I would venture to say that they will create a government that will be more desirable to the…Continue

A-to-B Thinking Will Get Us Nowhere
Neil deGrasse Tyson offers a concept of looking at a longer time frame than the two year election cycle for Congress, or a four year cycle for POTUS, or an 6 year cycle for Senators: Develop a space program that looks to future space explorations, starting by developing teachers and students for another big thrust such as occurred with the threat of the Soviet Union in space. I get goose bumps listening to his idea. That would cause us to focus on a project, put people to work developing different aspects of the program and break out of the constipated-economic situation we now muddle through.
"That is a change in the mindset of a culture that only advancing a space frontier can bring. That’s what I grew up in and it’s not going on now, and I fear for the future of our country. I don’t want this to be the beginning of the end of America. We know how to fix it. The answer is staring us in the face because we’ve done it before."
~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
