Do you think Indian space resarch organization is moving on to right track?

I dont think so.... \nIts a highly politicized piece of goverment body, solely existing in with the intent to use the taxpayers money to fatten themselves...\nThey are no better than the indian polititions...\nI am an indian student who did a project there, so this isnt a rascist comment...

Yeah.   I reckon we should first study Mars in its pristine form for a few decades.   By then we'll have the technology to terraform it, so we'll have somewhere to run to when we screw up Earth.

I agree. It will be around for quite some time but I feel that it will have to change in a major way for intelligent people to continue to follow its teachings.

Once USA decided to move to another planet, I do not see reasons why to stay in these organisations. \nAlso might be that these organisations are ineffective because of some bad influence - a rich guy may think if he orders the music, then...

I would have to say yes. As an avid amateur astronomer the search for knowledge is always a good thing. After all, the Hubble still has a few good years left in it, but they won't upgrade it (I think it's a mirror, that was made specifically for it, and it's still sitting on earth because NASA wants to scrap the Hubble). Mind you, I could be wrong about NASA's decision, since I heard it was going to change and they would be upgrading after all. As for us willing to spend the money, sure. After all, our tax dollars are being wasted elsewhere. I honestly believe the individual should decide where the majority of their own tax dollars are spent.

Hmmm I'm not sure but since astrology doesn't bother to correct itself for the fact that the constellations have drifted one full sign over the lat 2000 years....\n\nMy fortune cookie seems to back me up on this.

I happen to be reading a New York Times bestseller called "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. One thing he talks about is India's emergence as a major source of educated workers mixed with a solid work ethic (of course, he goes into much more detail, including quotes from Indian businessmen running companies with all sorts of ties to the West). \n\nHowever, he does point out that India's infrastructure (power grid, etc) greatly needs to be improved to make a further leap.

We have sent messages into the sky in the hopes that they'll reach someone although it'll take awhile for them to arrive at their destination.  Some of our military radars are probably detectable from pretty far away (those things can often put out the same amount of power as a TV station but spread across only a few degrees instead of most of the sky).\n\nI highly doubt that any aliens would really care about the Earth for resources.  If they could get here and needed resources there are plenty of asteroids and comets that would be far easier to get, would have pretty much everything they need and wouldn't involve killing the locals.\n\nAs someone who thinks that the explanation for the Fermi Paradox is that there is no one else out there (at least not anywhere near us) I still think it is worthwhile because there is a chance that we might find aliens and it would be the greatest discovery in history and a systematic search of the sky could turn up something we didn't expect (which is usually where the really important breakthroughs in science come from).\n\nThough if one of our planet finder instruments that will be launched to try to detect Earth like planets finds an Earth like planet around Alpha Centauri that looks like it might have industry you can be almost certain that we'll be contacting them to say hi.

Yes. It's just a matter of where, and when.\n\nIf I had to put money on it, I'd wager on either India and Pakistan going at it, or North Korea starting something.

NASA's 2006 budget is in excess of $16 billion. The agency says it understands its fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayer. But by any standard, the space program is wasting many, many millions of dollars. \n\nAnd now, it has its eye on returning to the Moon and a manned mission to Mars. Schatz says that shouldn't be the focus. "Let's just get NASA in shape to do what it's doing now as opposed to expanding its mission into something that's far larger than anything they've done before

transporters will perform that function eventually throughout the solar system ! for work, dates, vacations, shopping, school, research, etc., our great grand children to the 5th power will consider it normal. and yes successful sub atomic transportation has already been sucessfully tested and is growing with leaps and bounds and will completely change our world as we know it !

This very well may be the start.  If it is, there will be annihilation beyond comprehension. There will be a few survivors in remote areas who will repopulate the earth.\n\nThat is; after the earth heals itself.
