Well, should humans be exploring space?

Space…the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's five-year mission…to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilization, to boldly go where no man has gone before!

Sorry…had to do that. From memory too. Anyway, I say why not, as long as we don't let it get in the way of more important things like the economy and poverty and disease and all that good stuff.

I think we should only try to colonize on the moon.

1. Earth is fine right now.
2. Mars or one of Jupiter's moons would be better because hey... they HAVE actual oceans!

I believe they discovered water on the moon…but I could be mixing that up with Mars. Either way, we aren't close to having the technology to do any of that. We'll probably all be dead and gone before we colonize anywhere not on Earth, so I wouldn't get all worked up about it.

The moon has water on it and is similar to Earth, some scientists think that an asteroid broke a piece of Earth off and turned into the moon.

Yeah, I heard somewhere evidence of water was found on Mars. Not blatant evidence, though.

Anyway... sure, the Earth's fine now, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be considering the future. It's very important that we find something to do about our lowering source of resources, especially water.

THE CREED: Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted.
"...That's rather cynical."

"It would be if it were doctrine, but it is merely an observation of the nature of reality.
To say that Nothing is True is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shephards of our own civilization.
To say that Everything is Permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious...or tragic."
