To the Moon, Alice

Mars and Moon may not have sufficient space or resources to shelter all inhabitants of earth. Nor are earthlings rich enough to reach there.

What are we planning for? Coming back reincarnated as an advanced specimen of techno-humans, with a choice of planets to live in?

Or someone is selling dreams, just in the way secondlife dotcom does it. I’d sure like to disappear from the Earth, and watch my bete noires chafing and churning to know how I did it. But it’s not likely to happen.

A picnic to the Moon may spur some more poetry or a book or a video series ….

Settling down there will be like being marooned on an island. Our bodies are not created to survive on the Moon.

Let’s do our best to make the Earth a worthwhile place, and let unknown forces do the rest.
