If the distribution of these things excludes the US for some reason then I agree with the OP... and the BBC article I read the other day (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4445060.stm) does make it sound as if these things are for export only.
I'm all for helping others and I think that this is a great idea, but we have plenty of people right here at home that we should be taking care of first.
Thank you... this thing is going to be a horrible irritation:( The first person who turns off the TV on me while I'm trying to catch the weather at the airport is going to get punched in the face.
Why wait? We should start sending the supplies and materials needed to build a self-sustainable permanent colony on the moon. Water and air may pose interesting logistical issues but I'm sure that they can be overcome:)
I'm still enjoying the franchise and, for the most part, I really like ST:E! I find the story is interesting and I like most of the characters. Some of the episodes are obvious rip-offs from previous series but even that is better than most of the tripe that is being aired!
