List of future improvements to the world?

A. Here is a larger view on mankind's continual progress on earth. First will come one standard world language of English, with many words from other languages being added as expanded "English". Maybe in one hundred or less years. Then one world race will be largely achieved; this mixed race will be superior to today's nine somewhat blended races. Life expectancy will increase to several hundred years on average. Maybe in a few hundred more years. Then one planetary government of all people, by all people, and for all people will be established and well functional. Maybe in one or two more thousand years. Then one planetary and universe supernal philosophy and religion will happen in a few thousand to 50,000 (maximum) more years. Sooner… [cont.]

When the new president cancels the VSE what justification will remain for finishing the Orion and Ares?
Q. Orion was designed as a capsule to facilitate reentry from lunar and deep space voyages. Without the Vision for Space Exploration the only place for U.S. astronauts to visit will be the International Space Station. We're already planning to buy rides to the ISS from the Russians after the shuttle's retirement and until the Orion/Ares is ready. Why not just continue buying rides from the Russians and cancel Orion/Ares entirely. In fact why send astronauts to the ISS at all?

A. The justification is that China plans to build up its space capabilities, and do we trust them...? If not, we want to maintain and upgrade our own. 10 NOV 08, 0436 hrs, GMT.

Do you want to live on mars? Why?
Q. I want to know how much $ is being spent to explore Mars, in future vision to move people there...? What is wrong with spending $ on investigating the wealth of life here, our mother planet? I'll bet that ocean creatures/plants also have medicinal qualities; gotta be that plants in rain forests do too. So, why do we spend so much $ for Mars? AND, though treaties exist that say we cannot polute anything in space, what is wrong with putting our regular and toxic wastes on the dark side of the moon? It does not revolve and there will never be life on it. Why don't people make an outcry for Mother Earth instead of imagining what they will do in outer space? I personally do not see that anything from space is realistically benefiting us, though… [cont.]

A. One at a time...sigh. 1) The moon DOES revolve - around the Earth. 2) The moon also rotates - at the same rate as it's rate of revolution around Earth, which generates the illusion of its not rotating since we only observe the same side from here on Earth. Try walking around a chair in the center of a room while looking ONLY in the same direction as the chair. You'll see all 4 walls behind it as you complete 1 "revolution" by walking all the way around it. The only "dark side" of the moon is the side away from the sun - and every side is dark sometime during the course of a month. We just don't see the side facing away from Earth. 3) There has already been life on the moon - the 6 astronauts from the Apollo program from 1969 through 1972 - [cont.]
