Still have mine, love the concave touchpads.

I think so.

How high the priority should be is a debate worth having, but space has many ways to wipe out a planet. Having two planets, having a permanent space station, could go a long way to increasing survivability.

Not only that, building in a vacuum, building in zero G, even building things under great pressure, all can allow us to build new materials with brand new properties.

Also, being able to sustain a small group of people somewhere completely contained an inhospitable can be utilized on earth to feed people at home, or recycle water at home.

The only argument I’ve ever heard about the draft that actually made me consider it was that if everyone was in the army at some point, we would look ar wars very differently.

The number one thing people hated about Vietnam was the draft. The biggest thing that mobilized the American people to protest the war was the draft. Not the death of Americans, but the death of “my Americans”.

It might make us a LOT less warlike…
