Space Spending
From archeology.org/news/
“Archaeologists are interested in protecting the Apollo landing sites on the Moon from damage by future spacecraft. “I think it’s humanity’s heritage,” said Beth L. O’Leary of New Mexico State University.”
Think about what’s important in that notion of “humanity’s heritage”. While it may, for an instant, seem to be a worthwhile project, think about it, again.
Then, pray that Beth L. O’Leary finds something far, far more fulfilling to do with her life than worry about marks in dust a quarter of a million miles away. Is it really worth caring about those marks being disturbed by yet another rocket that may, or may not, take off in the next decade, if ever?
Only the minds of coddled children could think such things to be important. But, that concern was “vital” enough to be reported in Archeology Today. The amazing thing is that they were not too embarrassed to report it.
Space Spending Solution
There is yet another step that the “truly concerned” will want to take: As we can see, the surface of the moon is covered with pockmarks, the craters of countless meteors. To truly “protect the Apollo landing sites on the Moon”, there is only one thing to do.
We must build a huge, meteor-proof dome above the landing site. Sure, it would costs hundreds of billions of dollars, maybe even a trillion or so. But, that’s small change compared to living our lives diminished by having those precious dust-marks obliterated.
