Japan Eyes Solar Station In Space
An anonymous reader writes "By 2030 [Japan] wants to collect solar power in space and zap it down to Earth, using laser beams or microwaves. The government has just picked a group of companies and a team of researchers tasked with turning the ambitious, multi-billion-dollar dream of unlimited clean energy into reality in coming decades."
Saying "We also need fewer people" shows how much value you place on human life--regardless of whether it is future human life. The only non-misanthropic attitude would be to say "We must expand into space in order to allow unrestricted growth in the number of human lives in the universe."
"Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason."
For a minute there I thought this said "AFRICA eyes solar station in space", but that would just be ridiculous...
Anybody care to tell me WHY?
Oh, you genius!
No, because Africa is full of a certain RACE of people whose average IQ is too low for them to collectively build a space station. Or an aeroplane. Or a car. Or even a bicycle.
Or even invent a WRITTEN LANGUAGE, hence nobody knows anything about their history prior to the 'evil' white man going over there.
Anything constructive to say?
What are you going to tell your children when their country is destroyed, because of you?
