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?

Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on February 24, 2010 at 1:44am: Vyktor your suggestion is the way to go for more than just beauty. Thats how we also protect ourselves from radiation!

Comment by Vyktor Alzirr on February 24, 2010 at 1:41am: @ Chris: Well, maybe we can put a very small station on the moon's surface, with the rest underground, so we can use lunar resources without spoiling luna's beautiful face, besides, how else could we visit the moon and enjoy it's pristine appeal?

Comment by Vyktor Alzirr on February 24, 2010 at 1:38am: Hehehe, Indeed. All I know is that I cannot day before leaving the planet at least once.

Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on February 24, 2010 at 12:42am: O thats gonna be a helluva night sky!!

Comment by Tom Thompson on February 24, 2010 at 12:36am: I don't really have my eye on anywhere in particular. Some watery patch in the Milky Way would do for a brief stint. I have to move along before we collide with the Andromeda galaxy in 3-5 billion years though. :D

Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on February 24, 2010 at 12:32am: Waht would be your most desired drop off location Tom?? :-)

Comment by Tom Thompson on February 23, 2010 at 11:57pm: Space ship earth is getting crowded. Stop! So I can get off.

Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on February 21, 2010 at 12:23am: @ Chris, I think we can leave most of the moon pristine, but Im afraid we will need some of it.

Comment by Chris Highland on December 12, 2009 at 12:18pm: Not sure I'll be welcomed here, and you may boot me off the shuttle, because I am a supporter of "going where no one has gone before" yet push for a Moon Wilderness Park. Leave the moon a pristine environment and move on to worlds beyond. Do I hear a boo or see a boot?
