A thousand years from now I'd love to be anywhere!
I don't suppose anybody can say with absolute certainty but I
think I'd be willing to give it a go! Going my own way...doing my own thing...has never really bothered me. But, I suppose this proposition would test my belief in that value system on a whole new level. A lot harder to change your mind on this one!!
What I found annoying/disturbing about the article was the position of the organizers that it HAS to be a one-way colonization mission because it's
cost prohibitive to bring them back! Even then, they have to go hat-in-hand begging for funding. Huh???!!!
All of the ridiculous things we spend money on as a society...as a species....and we can't figure out how afford to make this a round-trip ticket? Pathetic...
