Philip Shropshire of Three River Tech Review has written a nice rant about space exploration
I might add that if you were seriously concerned about the Martian ecosphere it would be nice if there were some environmentally sensitive types on the Red Planet. Who would be more responsible about making that choice as to whether to preserve the precious Martian bacterial life: The head of the Sierra Club or those lobbyists who want the EPA to lessen clean air standards? Who do you want making that choice to pave over the rare Martian ruins for the new mall: the head of Wal Mart or the head of Greenpeace? I think the choice is clear.

A group of scientists have published the claim that no amount of environmental regulation will save us now, “Instead it would need dramatic leaps in technology, such as working fusion reactors, solar panels the size of Manhattan floating in space, and a ‘global grid’ of superconducting power transmission lines to distribute electricity without loss around the world.”

“Additional interesting info that I noticed is that the gun used was a symbolic number, .223 caliber, the Bush’s Skull and Bones lodge number is the opposite, 322… the name of the gun? BushMaster…”
