Or deep ocean methane hydrate mining, or whatever. There are a million things we could do right now here on Earth that are a million times more effective, cheaper and easier than this space crap. Want to colonize Mars? Why not colonize all Earth's deserts first? It makes about the same sense.

You did capitalize "Engineer" though. Do you worship yourself ?

Do you work in the applying the science of the wrong scientists or the right scientists? How do you tell which are right? Do your Capitalist bosses tell you?KaiserJeep wrote:I'm an Engineer.

In fact, it's fairly easy to establish that most of the scientists are wrong most of the time.
Nor do I worship an economic system or a deservedly obscure 19th century economist. In fact I don't worship anything I'm aware of, including the global ecology.

Nonsense and balderdash.
