Human Colonization of Space- A Kind of "Manifest Destiny?"
Started by Mrina. Last reply by Nicholas K. Apr 6, 2012. 23 Replies 0 Likes
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

Neil Armstrong and others SPEAK ... and I don't think they're too happy with the current status of the space program:

Thanks, Mrina for the article :)
We haven't forgotten about Europa yet, which is always a good sign.

Susan thank you for posting the article!! My only concern is that GM partnered with NASA. Hope they put more quality assurance into R2 than they do in automobiles!
And someone with more knowledge on the subject please chime in...Aren't the Japanese way ahead of everyone else on robotic tech???

@SGecko the US may not be doing the whole rocket thing anymore but that dosnt mean your giving up on space. its just going to be a more international thing now. russia still has a program, theres ESA (i wish we europeans did more), china and others. i suppose what i worry about is it becomming a completly private venture because then the general idealism of organisations like nasa may be lost.

Death of a family member
Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 5 Comments 1 Like
OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
