myself? I don't give a damned care because theres too many issues with the planet as is to be worrying about a satellite in orbit around it, and the getting to there. first we need to address the issue with pollution and the climates change that is being caused by it.
though i agree with mister/doctor Hawking in that we need to start making plans to get into space, colonially.
Aw, I expected to get somewhere with the sombrero link.
We'd benefit in pretty much every way by expanding into space. For every dollar the government invests in space technology, they get about 7 dollars back because of the consumer products that are created and mass produced due to the space technology created.
We get to learn more about our origins and our future, and about our universe in general, such as the possibility of a multiverse, or parallel universes. Of course this list goes on, who has the time?
