Why would we/how could we stagnate in the midst of such incredible progress? <BR/><BR/>Until our current times, NOTHING stopped us from progressing. Now we populate exponentually and yet our progress towards truly leaving this planet has all but come to a halt. <BR/><BR/>Its not a lack of resources. Its not a lack of technology. It isn't even a lack of funds. I am quite certain thats its NOT a lack of curiosity either. After all, if they can print money to take us out of debt or whatever, then why not print enough to colonize the heavens?<BR/><BR/>In my most humble opinion, we have stopped exploring and attempting to colonize space because no one has figured out a way that they can make any MONEY from it!<BR/><BR/>-Merlin<BR/><BR/>"We are all our own devil and we make this world our own hell."<BR/>-Oscar Wilde<BR/><BR/>"There are 2 types of people who live on this earth.
