Sigh i had high hopes for this topic.......sigh.

There is no conflict between christanity and science (Islam? the jury is still out). Did god create et life. sure i guess.

To me ive always wondered what is god? Maybe god was something that came before man or even the earth was formed. Maybe god went threw the universe creating life and were just one of many many children.

Here's the real kicker to some. If god if god were just another name for a being or group of beings that created life on earth or seeded it atleast would they/it not be just as deserving as the god we worship now?


BTW seems far to many out there dont know the definition of Faith.  close(-)

I never really like the startrek ships. One of the funny things is a star destroyer is accually very plausable.

My bet though barring AG of some kind and using a Vasimr Drive would be a aship looking somthing like a barbell with a rotating ring near the front. And behinf the rotating habitat would be fuel supplies etc.

By far my favorite Scifi ships gotta be BSG galactica and Omega destroyer from B5. Though i also liked the saratoga from Space above and beyond. close(-)

His long term goals? World domination. /que evil laugh and dramatic music.

I figured they'd try using this a when i heard about dragon. Dont see why they dont just build a ship that takes cargo from LEO to the moon and back just use dragon to get from the earth to the ship, ship to the moon, Dragon to moon surface/base. and back. close(-)

Really hal calm down people arent dumb...well most of em.

People just dont know why its important most of them. LOL i was talkin to a buddy of mine who isnt into any space stuff he said whats in space that is worth it. Well besides the whole killer asteroid thing.

I said simply the average asteroid is worth 20 trillion dollars.

His reply?

Oh, ok then thats a good idea.

As for scifi shows etc. Science fiction is doing great buisness ask all the scifi authors.

Travis taylor
John ringo
Jack campbell
david weber
david drake

List goes on and on. Heck look at babylon 5, Battlestar galactica, firefly, all the others.
Try online games like EVE online etc.

The object is to make it look exciting.

Nasa like safe predictable missions which is fine.

But Nasa could make peopel fall asleep at the prospect of exscuse me for saying it, sex.

There are always going to be people interested in space. Willing to leave earth and go beyond to live there die there and have a family there. The challenge is getting that future in our grasp. Not in the next 1000 years, not in 100 years, but in the next 50 years or less. close(-)
