The Case for the Moon
apsmith writes "Continuing the flurry of recent hearings on the future of humans in space, a Senate committee on Thursday heard testimony in favor of a return to the Moon. Former senator and moon-walker Harrison Schmitt and physicist David Criswell see the lunar surface as an immense energy resource, just waiting to be tapped. Astronomer Roger Angel sees the lunar south pole as the ideal astronomical observatory, with locations for telescopes 100 times better than anything we've done so far. And geologist Paul Spudis sees a lot of unfinished business on the Moon, to develop it as the "feedstock of an industrial space infrastructure." TransOrbital also sent written testimony."
Why is unlimited immigration good? Unlimited immigration will raise unemployment and poverty. I am all for limited immigration. After all, the vast majority of people in this country can trace their ancestors back to immigrants. I am not sure of how all the details work here though.
Would this be unlimited immigration from certain countries or purely umlimited. Would this remove the necessity for green cards or visas?
Not everything is analogous to cars. Car analogies rarely work.
