Hawking rules
i think its amusing tho that unless there is a MARKET for any of this all the great scientific discoveries of our time will remian just that. Even with pre 1970's technology we could be doing so many things now that we just cant AFFORD to do :P iv had idea's and im sure u guys have to, things like saving our planet by setting up our essential yet polluting/dangerous industries on Mars. whats the reason we arnt doingthis? the cost of fuel/ the cost per pound to put stuff in orbit. Not only will we use up valuable fuels to do this today it will also cost billions nay trillions/quadrillions of dollars to do. why must we restrain ourselves in this manner? if we simply had to provide hydrogen/reaction mass to do it it would be done by now, we have a whole universe of stuff we can use but not a whole universe of cash :P anyway enough ranting, id like to see independant companies or whatever doing what our governments are reluctant to do and that is invest in our future. our real future, as a people. In space.
