Re: Obama announces Manned Mission to Mars!
I'm not bothered about my life it's been pretty good, I think my generation has had the best deal, possibly in mankind's history, but it's future generations I worry about, I feel we've fully reaped the benefits and left them to deal with the consequences. Nobody really wants to confront the growing problems, it's not in our nature. We all feel that hopefully if we ignore them they'll go away. A bit like dumping all our rubbish in a landfill, out of sight out of mind. The real problems for mankind are only just beginning, spiralling population growth= food shortages, water shortages, fuel & resource shortages, ever increasing pollution & that's without the threat of climate change which, if it happens, will only add to the previous mentioned problems. We're lucky that we're pretty much insulated from global problems in the UK (or we think we are). How you feel depends on which information you choose to ignore. The warnings are there.
