Quote:Also, would you rather be looking up at our current, white, moon with a few grey speckles of craters, or something eesembling the death star all covered in refineries and smelting works, and mines. Is it right for man to make a mess of the moon just because we want to get more minerals?What about looking up at the moon and seeing the glimmer of city lights in the shadow of a crescent moon, or spans of greenhouse domes bearing verdant hues of vegetation and azure dots of oases? To hold witness that humanity, unencumbered by the bonds of Earth, does have the ability to turn even the most barren rock into someplace called home?
Or are we condemned to see that the cradle of humanity becomes its grave as well.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
