Yeah, because spending trillions of dollars on a project that might get a few hundred of the planet's richest and most powerful people off the rock (cuz, you know, they'll totally pick the most deserving folks when armageddon time comes) is way better than spending that same amount on developing crops that could survive another deep freeze and keep hundreds of millions alive back here.
Pushing the boundaries of science and going to Space, The Final Frontier is all well and good, but don't delude yourself into thinking it's an urgent task that needs our attention by the year 2029.

You could also look to these guys as another possible source of friction. Assuming they have the right to that name and can hang onto that right in the face of Google lawyers.
Justified or not, how can you think Kraft is making a wise move in terms of defending the value of its brands when the publicity shitstorm from stomping on a little lady in France will wipe out any value they could hope to build with the milka.fr domain?
Yeah, your team of corporate lawyers can kick individuals off of websites named after themselves, but the price of this is a whole lot of young web-savvy people thinking your company is a pile of shit and never buying your chocolate again. Oh, and the price of the corporate lawyers, too. Bet they come cheap.
Why do companies think it wise to throw their image into the toilet like this? Wouldn't shooting this woman an email offering her 50,000 francs for the domain have been cheaper and quieter?
