   I've been looking at work being done on a space elevator.  If someone can ever find a way to do it, the costs associated with lofting things into orbit would crash, finally opening doors to colonization of other bodies in the Solar System.  It's only a matter of time.

    I just read how a few NASA scientists have dug up results that showed some moon rock samples taken back in 1969 showed water, but due to prevailing scientific beliefs at the time, the scientists who analyzed them back then just chalked up the results as due to contamination by the astronauts who collected them.

    I remember, hearing something about it. I guess government, media and those in charge, finally decided that mankind could try to move forward, even though this evidence of water on the moon has been around since the late 60's.
    
    With that said- I agree with Tantrum. The FACT that we are just finding this out and now, of all times, when we have bigger problems, is only there to distract, or mislead the public and to give them each HOPE of better times.
    
    This doesn't fix or change anything how we are as a society, nor how we approach fixing the problems we already have.
    
    The question is - "How are the Leaders around the World going present/show/spin/convey to us that they are truly working in the best interests of Mankind?"
    
    Isn't about time- we MAKE those in charge, finally listen to the people for a change, instead of spinning every topic off or putting it on some else's shoulders.

       If you think we are not doing enough to fix our problems, address the people who are supposed to be fixing our problems. They are failing even though they are spending MUCH more money that is being spent on space exploration.
       
       And, if you feel more money is needed, I can think of a particular on-going "situation" that has been draining our country of more money than can ever be justified. See, that's shameful.

          I'm not saying it is or it is not. My point was that 'government' official leaders are the reason for the lack of money available for space exploration which is also related to the religious fundamentalists, who see space exploration as a waste of human resources(but also scare the hell out of them).
          
          The more information mankind learns about itself- the more evolved our society becomes. Thus more complex- which will require more rational and logicial thinking people. The Human race will have to dump their 'mystical' beliefs, so they themselves can be integrated into society, with real meaning and purpose of life, so the human race will live on.
          
          The next step of mankind is in the manner in which they think. The most complex society and business gets- Integrational Thinking is going to be required. This means- every person must be one with oneself and confident enough to move forward with all their mind and effort.
