I have combed through many of the posts on this blog, and I have not found many of your posts dedicated to space exploration/colonization. Do you think that serious deliberation about heading off-world belongs in the same context as Robot Gods, etc, or do you think that is actually legitimate?
Intuitively, to me, space exploration/colonization belongs in an entirely different strata from the more, how should I say it, hyperbole-laden topics such as transhumanism, since there are actually well-respected people (e.g. Stephen Hawking, Freeman Dyson, or really anybody working for NASA) who say that our only hope for a future is to get off of this planet/get out of the solar system. Anyway, I'm just curious as to what your thoughts on this topic are.
Somebody's been to the gym... but why do I get the feeling he's compensating? And who wants to spoon all night with a cheese grater?
ReplyDeleteI think he's already lost his head over somebody else!

striated pecs?)

P.S. No, I would most certainly not hit it. Personally, I like my bits not flayed.

And what looks like a **navel**, I only just noticed!
(Well, I suppose he's supposed to be a Borg, or something.)
