I think space travel is happening because humans explore. None of the reasons given for travel are because our earth is dying. The reasons are about exploring, finding new frontiers, more resources, more land to call ours, and the simple ability to have bragging rights. It will happen whether you think it is right or not. In fact the better we survive on earth the more chances that we space travel. Problems on earth, whether through ecological destruction or human dysfunction, hold us back from space travel. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Gennaro<br>347 244 3016<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Feb 19, 2011 9:14 PM, "Corwyn" <<a href="mailto:corwyn@midcoast.com">corwyn@midcoast.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>Greenbuilding mailing list<br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br><a href="mailto:Greenbuilding@bioenergylists.org">Greenbuilding@bioenergylists.org</a><br><br>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br>http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/greenbuilding_lists.bioenergylists.org<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>Greenbuilding mailing list<br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br><a href="mailto:Greenbuilding@bioenergylists.org">Greenbuilding@bioenergylists.org</a><br><br>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br><a href="http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/greenbuilding_lists.bioenergylists.org">http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/greenbuilding_lists.bioenergylists.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=1 width="100%" noshade style='color:#A0A0A0' align=center></div><p class=avgcert>No virus found in this message.<br>Checked by AVG - <a href="http://www.avg.com">www.avg.com</a><br>Version: 10.0.1204 / Virus Database: 1435/3455 - Release Date: 02/20/11<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
