We have 6 people in space, barely….250 miles up (only 238,650 more miles to go to reach the moon)

We have 4 R/C Cars worth billions of dollars each on mars, some working some not

and a Couple of dozen satellites poncing around the solar system

We cannot fly men to another planet……even mars

We cannot fly men to another planet……even mars

We cannot colonize the moon (sending constant supplskin analyzer machine indiaies would be drastically expensive, and harmful to the earth)

Men cannot exist in space except with what they bring with them…..(although Air and pee are cleaned and re-ingested)

and we cannot get our stuff together down here on earth to even begin to overcome these problems

Do you really think……this is ever going to happen?

Or did our intelligent designer make the universe and space in such away, to keep us here.

Do you really think you can build the tower of babel….all over again?

Answer:
Maikang A hundred years ago, men would barely be flying in airplanes. Since your magic man in the sky didn’t give us wings, isn’t that defying his will? A mere 60 years ago, man want even putting anything into space. This is called progress. And technology is the means by which huge problems which seem insurmountable now, get over come. There are numerous schemes for provisioning a ship for an interplanetary voyage, as well as interstellar. What we really lack is the collective will to divert the resources form other activities to develop these vessels. It would require more than a few bucks to be sure. Otherwise, you’re just a little black cloud using some problems as a rationale for why we shouldn’t explore past our planet, and worse, cloaking it in religious mumbo jumbo for which you can’t even cite any of your mythology as reference.skin analyzer

Maikang We haven’t done any of those things…yet, just like in we hadn’t been to the moon in 50’s or the new world in 1066. Religious inertia and defeatism are now mostly irrelevant in the civilised west(Europe) so the great adventures you describe are more likely than the examples I started with.
So pecker up sad-sack, the human race is never going back to the goat herding days so beloved of religious nincompoops!skin analyzer

Maikang Are you serious? Really? So you think that this is as far as we will ever go? Before 1961, no one believed we could reach outer space until Alan Shepard did it. Before 1969, no one believed we could go to the moon until Neil Armstrong and company did it. Why do you assume that we can never go any further?

And what does “poncing” mean in reference to satellites?skin analyzer

Maikang The Bible does not mention the planets – maybe because those who wrote the Bible didn’t have telescopes – let alone claim that ‘God’ created them; the claim in the Bible is that beyond the skies is Heaven. It begs the question of why would these planets be created by an Intelligent creator if they serve no purpose to us.skin analyzer

Maikang The tower of bible belongs in a flat-earth universe where the stars are holes in a cosmic bowl, not in a universe where we have rovers on Mars (an achievement that surely dwarfs any tower, real or mythical).skin analyzer

Maikang The Tower of Babel (although it is never called that in the Bible) never reached near as high as the ISS is now. Apparently god is now too impotent to do anything about how high we go.skin analyzer

Maikang While a lot of space exploration is wasteful, it is done in the name of science. No one could know what potential discoveries could be made which could lead to scientific theories that improve technology and therefore our lives.skin analyzer

Maikang The time is long overdue for people who believe mythical characters, like God, exists. A reality check for them would do wonders for the world.skin analyzer

Maikang We don’t even know the depths of the ocean. We are swimming in a fish bowl; Pink Floyd’s right.skin analyzer

Maikang The greedy bastards are already talking about ‘mining’ other planets for their resources.

I say – how about let’s fix our own plant before we go off and destroy another?skin analyzerMaikang This is the equivalent to telling the Wright brothers that we should have had wings if we were meant to fly.skin analyzer

Maikang So, your alternative is to… do nothing?

Brilliant.

Imagine if Jonas Salk had your attitude.

“This polio thing is far to complicated to cure. Let’s just invest in leg braces for future generations.”

Yeah, if everyone took your fatalistic attitude, no progress would ever be made. Does it hurt being that stupid?skin analyzer

Maikang Yes, I do believe there will be colonies on the moon and other planets someday.skin analyzer

Maikang “Do you really think……this is ever going to happen?”

Yeah. But not unless we clean up our act beforehand, so we can survive the next century.skin analyzer

Maikang It is time for a reality check for those that believe in fairy tales.skin analyzer

Maikang I see you didn’t took your meds again. Every few months we have this conversation.skin analyzer

Maikang True story, bro. Some people would rather believe, despite any evidence to the contrary, that they are right regarding their arguments against God and religion.skin analyzer

Maikang Uh, wat?

If this was supposed to blow my mind, it hasn’t. All it did was confuse me..skin analyzer
