WE "Humanity" are the "Home Team."
Either we support the "Home Team," or we expect to LOSE.
LOSING is a HORRIFIC TRAGEDY for our Species; we become a "Planet-Bound" Biological "Culture" BOUND TO "Out-Reproduce" it's Resouces--& DOOMED to Die in It's own "Effluvium!"
The "Impulse" to go "Out There is not only Spiritual," but a "Biological Imperative."
As I have Previously Stated--Either we go "Out There,"--or we CHOKE on our own "Effluvium."
It JUST MAY BE that "SOMEONE" in the "Bush Administration" understands Mankind's Immediate Dilemma; we CANNOT survive--regardless of our "Best Intentions"--if we do Not offer SOME FORM of HOPE to "Humanity!" "Without 'Hope,' Humans RAPIDLY 'Self-Destruct!'"
The SUCCESS of "America" attests to the "Basic Nature" of the Human Species!!
Give Us a "GOAL",--a "VISION",--& we will "Endure" ANY adversities.
"Tell Us that we are Bereft of ANY 'Goals,'" & we "EAT OUR YOUNG!!"
So YES,--we go Back to the Moon--& ON to MARS; we are "Genetically Programmed" to "Do THIS."
