A View From Space
January 31, 2008 - 2,012 views
When I was little, I wanted to become either an astronaut or a lawyer. Sadly, neither the first nor the second came true so here I am blogging. Now I look at these pictures in envy while seeing the amazing landscapes from space. Looking forward to when civilians will be able to fly to the moon for fun. Until them, get a climpse of what space looks like!

You’re anticipating that civilians will fly for the moon for fun? Then we disagree on the nature of the future. I’m anticipating so little global energy reserves that everybody will ride bicycles and endure daily electricity blackouts. Like they already do in South Africa.
Why don’t you do the math? Take the weight of one adult, add the weight of the protective enclosure to keep that adult alive in space. Add food and water for a couple of days. Now, calculate the energy needed to raise that weight from ground level all the way up to the Moon. Remember, you can’t “fly” as you said; there is no air.
Now, figure out the cost of that energy at today’s prices. (I’m being generous; tomorrow’s energy will be more expensive. And your vehicle will be quite inefficient).
What was your answer? Can you afford the trip? I don’t think so. I think Moon Holidays are like Robot Servants and Flying Cars; dreams that distract us while we wreck the planet where our children will have to scrape a polluted living.
