RE: Lasers Could Get Us To The Nearest Star Systems (20 Years) and Mars (3 Days)
With companies wanting to move into space exploration I fear we won't see the future Trekkies envision but one where unscrupulous companies such as Monsanto and nestle have even more power than they already do.
@phoenixmaid Yeah Monsanto is pretty bad. Basically one of the biggest rat bastard companies on the planet. It is good that people are calling them out and aren't scared to expose them for all their bully lawsuits. I have a feeling that most of the exploration won't be done by the companies themselves because it is hard to show a return to shareholders with exploration of that nature. It will be groups of billionaires who are pooling their personal funds to for other companies / groups to do it. But I don't know. SpaceX is going to send hardware to Mars in a couple years and there is no short term gain with that. It will be interesting to see but if 10 or 20 of these people could get together and fund this stuff we could do great things.
It seems the interests that control government have the moral fiber from the humans in Star-Wrek rather than the ones from Star Trek.
