With an adequate application of money what feat of engineering has not been completed?
If something has a glimmer of scientific feasibility, the infusion of money, engineers will make it happen.
• The world’s tallest building (Taipei 101).
• The world’s largest dam (Three Gorges Dam).
• Placing a man on the moon (Apollo Project).
• Being able to tell where you are at all times (GPS).
• Communicating with any person from anywhere in the world (Iridium).
• Machines to think for us (Computers).
• Machines to build our cars (Robotic welders).
• Machines to run the world (Electronic monitoring and control of power, water, and sewer).
• Fly across the Atlantic (Spirit of St. Louis).
• Fly around the world (Voyager).
• Fly around the world in a balloon (Breitling Orbiter 3).
• Break the sound barrier (Bell X-1).
• Break the sound barrier twice a day (Concorde).
• Live in space (MIR)
• Harness the power of things we can’t see for good and for awesome (fission and fusion)
So I’m wondering, why are people so anti accomplishment these days? Why are so many people these days of the type that are so gimme that they forget that great endeavors not only inspire but also “create” jobs? There are far too many hypocrites, they don’t want jobs; they want an easy life given to them for free.
They want potato chips and beer and a TV with cable and soaps all day long. When the Roman Empire collapsed the part of the empire that fell the hardest and farthest, the central part of the western, was the part with the most population on welfare.
Everybody suffers when they lack focus and can’t do the things they need to do. A society that loses focus also suffers as a whole when the population starts to think about how they can get one up over their neighbor as opposed to what they could be doing together to further man’s condition.
We have the ability to live on the moon, we have the ability to live on mars, we have the ability to harvest asteroids, we have the ability to explore the solar system.
We have the ability. We have the need. We need a mission, there needs to be expansion, there needs to possibility for greatness of each individual. We need it now.
That is why we need to pursue space.
