Hayden said the world's population is expected to grow by 45 percent to 9 billion people by midcentury, mostly in countries that cannot sustain such growth, such as Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Combine that with the likely mass migration to developed countries, and resources will be strained, leading to an increased risk of violence, civil unrest or extremism, he said.

And yet we're about to elect a guy into the US presidency who seems to think the space program is the least of our worries. Wow, politicians are brilliant aren't they?

I think that should be the sole purpose of humanity right now - The Space Program.

If we focused on that we'd develop all the technology we want and need ... recycling, alternative energy, etc ....

Sooner or later, we have to find a new planet, or the species will die ... It's pretty much a fact.

I dunno, I wish NASA had facilities engineers could work at in the rockies, maybe if I truly thought I wa doing something that would ultimatley benefit humanity, that would ACTUALLY benefit humanity, i'd be a more chipper person.

I dunno....I just read this article and it made me think about what a crock this election is going to be ... we _HAVE_ to have a space program.

Hopefully Mars is covered with 10 ft. of powder and huge hills to climb.
