I don't think the US government could compete in a space race right now. I think personal billionaires, like Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch and those folks could do it, as could huge corporations like Coke.
I really really really want to believe we'll get somewhere with it all, but the nay-sayer in me makes me think it won't happen in my lifetime. I don't think there is anything habitable close by, and terraforming or creating something habitable, building something habitable, just aint gonna happen anytime soon.
It's a great idea and something to look forward to, but it would be nice if we could take the money spent on space exploration and fix what we have here before we try to fuck shit up throughout the galaxy.
