The Next Space Race – Continued - Page 4

In conclusion, we must look at space as being our next home as well as the next realm of man. Planetary habitats will come and go and only one thing will be definite — mankind. Will we grasp space exploration and fully tap into it's unlimited potential for life's prosperity or will we disappear like the dinosaurs?

Author's Note: It tingles the receptors in my brain when I absorb this kind of information, but for most people I know, this is just useless garbage that only bores them. It amazes me how a person could not care about the future of mankind. Most people are so wrapped up in their own lives that they just simply do not care about civilization as a whole. I have told people before that I would like to be the first man to orbit and land on an asteroid or even donate myself to the first manned mission to Mars, but I always get laughed at or called retarded. I believe anything is possible because I don't know everything. From my point of view, the world needs people like Neil Armstrong to drive the space dream into the hearts of all humans. Some people have the audacity to say that they do not need anyone to live. Tell that to the thousands of teamsters that provide your super-size fries or even your pseudo-healthy sub sandwich. We all need each other and I'm sure that if the world was ending tomorrow that everyone would think about one another differently.

    i would like to see man go as far as it can but getting there may be harder than people think. We mat have the technology but not the money to make it happen. It will cost billions of dollars to go to mars and what will we get when we arrive? A video, a few rocks and whatever else, nothing that could start paying for the enormous bill.
