My view is not that we lack the wealth or resources to do so but the WILL. <br /><br />Even if short sighted people don't care about getting off this rock for the more philosophical reasons I could outline, it's necessary simply for practical reasons. Only if we have a serious and real "infrastructure" off Earth would we be able to possibly fend off any large comet or rock from slamming into Earth. Anyone who doesn't think Earth will again be struck by the kind of rock which wiped out the dinosaurs is being disastrously short sighted and unimaginative!<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Some might ask why in that case the Patrol did not manipulate the intelligence services to bring about world peace. But that was not the Patrol's job--which was to protect the history which would eventually lead to the Danellians.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
