As a matter of fact, yes.... We should be expanding into space, as well as the
ocean. Science fiction and bad television aside, we should be exploring the
depths of sea and space together. We only have a finite amount of resources
available here on earth, while the solar system might give us a small boost
in resources; we should utilize everything around us. Maybe it is greedy
and irrational to believe that we should start raping and pillaging the
resouces of our solar system, but to survive the future, we need to expand
and leave the nest...
