Heck, if the Russians can run a fleet of 13 nuclear ice breakers, you'd think projects like the Big Dig in Boston and others could've been greatly simplified by simple running a couple of subterrenes.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-55882965108608931762012-02-24T10:06:58.746-06:002012-02-24T10:06:58.746-06:00Yes the immediate Earth area is fine - space city ...Yes the immediate Earth area is fine - space city still makes sense - on the long distance travel, I agree .

Human survival is in no way contingent on interstellar travel, and, interstellar travel is utterly infeasible for organisms larger and more fragile than spores. <br /><br />Mastery of the planetary deeps, and, mastery of this solar system - are more than sufficient to dodge any planetary species extinction event bullets - and both of these objectives are within immediate technological and financial reach. http://johnkurman.blogspot.com/2012/01/space-is-place-continued.htmlCNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-19451806159524349352012-02-24T08:31:53.947-06:002012-02-24T08:31:53.947-06:00"When you're working on a sensitive docum..."When you're working on a sensitive document on your computer, the first thing you do is back it up. You make a copy of it, you email it to yourself, you put it in your dropbox, and your flash drive -- sometimes all these things at once. Why do we pay this obsessive attention to backing up a document, which we can reproduce, when we pay no attention to backing up our civilization? There is no greater endeavor than ensuring the survival of humankind."http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/02/project-icarus-laying-the-plans-for-interstellar-travel/253335/ nanakwamenoreply@blogger.com
