apehater: "Onstage at the Code Conference on Tuesday, the Amazon founder and CEO said that we have to start bringing parts of the industrial economy to space in order "to save Earth.""
I'd like to see him try. If he really wants the large scale industrialization of space he'd have to have something like a Space Elevator, or at least some other way to commoditize space launches as a relatively affordable service. Good luck with that.
Isn't that like part of the plot of Doom 3?

OlivawR: Maybe this way we'll find out if we are the most developed civilization in this galaxy. Because if there's a superior one who's watching us, I don't think they'll agree with our trash spreading all around.
Given that we aren't physically able to spread it any further than right outside our own front door, I doubt that'll be an issue.

Those are pretty shit working conditions in that game. State of the art base on Mars with NO AUXILIARY LIGHTING!!!! :P
If aliens existed, don't you think this is the part where they show up and nip this shit in the bud? There's gotta be at least a few other superior alien civilizations that are keeping an eye (or monitoring spy orb) on us. Billboards and factories in space surely have to rank high on their 'stop the humans at any cost' meter.

Don't laugh, those exist.

I saw an article on Yahoo a few weeks back with a prominent hip hop artist who insist there is no proof and no logic to the earth being round. I shit you not. :P

here there are
This is a negative? We need to get off Earth ASAP, before the next big extinction event. Moving industry into orbit is a good thing. Moving people off Earth is a good thing. Focusing more on space in any way is a good thing.
