Why Moon colony by 2018?
by sharat sindhwani on Jul 31, 2008 04:34 PM

When so many Moon landings have shown that the conditions for prolonged stay have to be made and lots of preparations are being made in the space stations like trying to make oxygen, water, grow food, effect on human bodies of zero G bone weakening effects don't you think its wise NOT to waste money on just day trips to the Moon? The scientists at Nasa are preparing for a longer stay on the Moon and then prepare to go Mars etc. from where launching will be cheaper.By then nuclear and solar powered propulsion systems will be much improved. Whats the point of day trips? It is not a holiday matter.It's expensive and serious scientific and exploration business.It is not to please little minds "Little things please little minds" who bring in various Gods whom no one has seen.Nature is a scientific accident by which we humans exist. Instead of maintaining what we have we are destroying it in the name of religion (an imaginary God) Religions ware invented to discipline human minds as per conditions existing then to give a guideline for a more decent living than killing animals with an axe while the killer human was dressed up in an animal hide.One has to plan and act not to please anyone but to achieve and that is what our human scientists are rightly doing.Instead of praising their achievement we are busy finding faults with them.Critics please rise above the stone age.
