The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space

Posted by samzenpus on from the so-we-can-fight-the-aliens dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Why humans in space? The Space Review has the top three reasons: 3. To work. 2. To live. 1. To survive. 'To work' means doing stuff in space: research, explore, visit, etc. 'To live' means to have humans/life beyond Earth in colonies/settlements. 'To survive' means that putting humans/life beyond Earth is a very Good Thing in case a very Bad Thing happens to humans/life on Earth."

    Don't worry you will still be taxed and have part of your life's work go to fund Dubya's ego and friends.

    Death , Taxes and Corrupt politicains are constants amoung humans.

    Of course being on Mars when Dubya sets off WWIII --Priceless.
