What exactly depresses you about this Juan? Limits to human expansion?
Limits to human expansion certainly, but limits to man period. China will last until the Americans can no longer afford
to buy their stuff, and they will also be broke sometime after that. Our leaders should be doing something about this
situation now but I don't see any signs of it.

We're going through a sharp transitionary period this century where there will be a greater focus on transhumanism and environmental sustainability. There won't be any significant advances in exploration until we resolve our energy crisis. I don't think that kind of tech will be ready in this millenium.
When Armstrong first climbed down the ladder and made the statement about the "small step", I was one of those that
expected the moon landing. I watched all of the moon landings but by the end of the Appollo program I was getting a
bit jaded. I was ready to start preparing for Mars. I was convinced that a Mars trip was just a few years away.
Right now I don't think a Mars trip will happen in the next fifty years; maybe not in the next five hundred.
I'm not nearly as optimistic as I once was about any thing.
Where is my hover car dammit. As a kid I was promised by TV (Satan) we'd have hover cars by Y2K. WTF?
Only Satan would have a talking dog a with a speech impediment.
Just all of them except Brian.
Isn't that kind of really open-ended optimism a luxury of youth? I mean, we all get at least somewhat jaded when we get older no?
Just a thought.
Global warming is not real and the super powers have agreed to do nothing about it. That should tell you something. They don't care about an invented non problem.
I see. Regardless of the millions of tons of ice that has melted from Greenland and the Antarctic, Global warming is still something invented by Wall street or somebody.........In the Canadian arctic there are many thousands of square miles of bare tundra that has been covered with ice for centuries but that was done by sun spots or something......Great thinking.....
