The Big Picture
-
Until a massive asteroid comes at us, massive climate damage makes the planet uninhabitable for humans, or some other man-made disaster occurs that does the same thing, and then everyone will wonder, "Gee, maybe keeping all our eggs in one basket wasn't such a good idea after all". At some point we will almost certainly need an alternate habitat beside the Earth. Of course that's not really a tangible benefit until it's far too late, and given our current progress in space, it probably will be. Hopefully things will turn out differently.

If you have only 1 basket that has no holes, you don't have any other option.

Unless you create another basket, with no holes. There are other options should we choose to actually investigate them. I would agree with that as of today, you're statement is dead on.

I can still remember watching the first step on the moon on a small TV in our kitchen with the family gathered around. (It's one of the earliest memories I have that I can pinpoint the exact time and place.)

Don't worry, I've created the entire Rocket Automation system using SilverLight, WCF and WF ... I'm sure it will be fine. Hey ... do you smell smoke? :-\

Very nice...thanks for the link. I remember that moment well, where I was but not what I was doing! Thanks, Mike

I can remember exactly where I was when I watched the first moon landing. In Aus it happened about midday, I watched it on one of the TVs that had been set up in the lecture theatre of the research labs where I was working. I sat next to a female colleague whom I'd seen around but didn't know, we had lunch in the canteen, I asked if she seen the movie Z, she hadn't so we went to see it a few days later, then we ... Bitter sweet memories of inspirational times.

MY baskets don't HAVE holes, they have strings and are multi-dimensional. My evil twin told me so, I'd introduce you, but he had to return to his dimension. Something about a dead-line ... apparently, neither one of us can escape that reality.

We were on vacation the week before so during the tour saw Apollo 11 on the pad. Since we were home by the launch we then went to my grandmothers house to watch the lunar landing on a COLOR TV. (Color TV was special in 1969)

I still wandering how there is a wind into the moon, since no air? :-D Anyway great pics, but I suppose the second land on the moon to make higher resolution pictures :)

Awesome!
