The Chinese have already set in motion plans for a moonbase, and they hope to have it ready by 2010, It may eventually become self sustaining, and it would be far beyond the reach of any human weapons as of the moment.

It wont become self-sustaining - the moon's resources are too limited, and by the act of setting it up, the potential weapons to attack it would have to be created.

One word to describe humans - chaotic.

Right, like having gills. Eventually our ventures into water could lead the development of gills. If we already have the dormant genes for gills, then we could activate them using the knowledge of genetic science. Hell, we could even concievably engineer a brand new conscious race and be god ourselves, by giving cats thumbs and making agressive behavior a recessive gene trait. Am I off into Sci-fi land or what?

What science can't give humans is a conscience. If our physical evolution is all we focus on, we will still just be a money driven war-torn world society on a polluted planet full of prisons and homeless camps. Now am I painting a rosy picture or what? [img]smile.gif[/img]

My word is 'adaptable'. People can survive in all sorts of situations, adaptability is what has enabled the human race to survive so far!

COWARDLY because almost everyone is afraid of offending some one else with what they think , say or do. I have been guilty of this as well , but I'm getting better.
