I completely agree with the discussion below. You raised a very important issue. I won't even go to Glasgow because it's too far for me, and I'm against flying.
HalfMoonRun just imagine having thrown around so much money and been so many places that the only thing you can amuse yourself with in your spare time is to have a space race with other billionaires.
I think that having an earthbound hobby that is maybe a bit more modest will make someone happier though. Space was not made for us to survive in either way. I vote we all just stay earthbound and be a bit kinder to our own planet
sandra The point you made is important. Going into space for scientific purposes is one thing and the space tourism (which is also beyond us) another one. Space tourism: needless, expensive and polluting (as if it had not been enough to suffocate the Earth), which only serves to flatter the disproportionately large ego of the richest. So sad.
HalfMoonRun This whole space tourism thing is beyond me. It is costly, it causes far too much waste and we have far too much work trying to save our earth to discover that no indeed we could not survive on Mars. If Nasa goes there then fine, they know what they are doing, but the average person is much more useful right here on earth.
Magnificent! Both the styling and your artistic set.
(You're absolutely right about going to Glasgow "and possibly save the world". Before pursuing the conquest of space at great expense, it would be better to heal the Earth and most of humanity that is suffering.)
