Ya tell me how man can clean up this mess without some drastic change in action. And btw I'm not big fan of sci fi as you perceive me to be. And as for those distant planets, they're in our galaxy. So warp drive wont be necessary.

1. Whats your definition of reasonable. 2. Perhaps we can make modules in space specifically for storage of mining products. 3. progress is always seen as beneficial to society. 4. More investments in large projects=new technology. Everyones a winner. 5. Prevent it from happening in the first place is good safety. We can use machines to do dirty jobs. 6. True but specific drugs can be distributed to the miners that don't have the negative addictive affects such as drugs like cocaine. Stick to the topic.

ya I told a few my friends to comment on it and give it some thought.

Are you suggesting that we stop wasting money on drug rehab and divert that money, and money wasted on similar programs, to space exploration? Yes with problems like global warming and terrorism and many other issues in the world. I believe most global powers turn a blind cheek to these issues because their only concerned about economics. I believe Continued spending in space exploration projects projects will in the long run satisfy their needs and and give sense of stability and grip. Which will make them turn to issues that are more important and humanitarian. A step in this direction I believe is to cut spending those programs DrDNA.

With all the global powers in the world constantly fighting for global hegemony. With the world economy getting tighter and tighter countries are going towards desperate measures to keep themselves involved as main players. America for one is building weapons in outer space to keep itself one of the players just in case if china, india or so called "developing nations" start wanting the american standard of living. Personally I see this issue escalating to cause more problems on planet earth. Outer space for one should not be regulated by any country. I believe everyone should just start spending more funds in future in space exploration. Think about it, if countries start mining resources on distant planets and start even small colonization projects. I heavily believe global powers will be satisfied in the economic benefits. To achieve this though governments need to stop spending money in idle areas. Like drugs rehabs for people, maybe people should should drop bad habits. What do you guys think? Should we or should we not spend more money in space exploration? discuss
