This Guy is a Nutcase... Man on Mars by 2031? (click here for more on the story)


Buzz Aldrin thinks we should spread mankind to Mars. This is idiocy. What a magnificent waste of money, time, brains, and resources. We could feed all the poor on earth 10 times over on the amount of money we spend figuring out how to shoot rockets and people into the unlivable environs of space. Sure, we can insulate ourselves out there in our little mini space-station atmospheres, but don't get the wrong idea. Space is not where we want to be living. There is no water. There are no trees. There is no life. With all our powerful telescopes, helping us look out into the vast infinities of space, we still have not found anything that looks like the paradise we have on earth. But we just keep searching as we destroy our little life giving Planet with overpopulation and an ever exported obsession with our consumption driven, selfish and individualist culture. We could be putting all the money we put into our spaceships into developing green energy. At minimum we should halt all space exploration until we can do it without burning any carbon fuels or creating any environmental waste. Buzz Aldrin, old decrepit man that he is, should be shot into outer space with the rest of the idiots on the last rocket from Cape Canaveral.
