QuoteMetals like gold for example, which is rare on Earth because of it's weight dragging it to the core, would be easily accessible on asteroids, as they lack the gravity the Earth produces. Thus you wouldn't have to dig as deep to mine it. Even better, there 10s of billions of asteroids in just our solar system, opening us up to a virtually infinite treasure box of resources.
However, an endeavor like that would require *long term* funding, planning, and research. The government does that.

QuoteThere is no 'gain' for corporations because space exploration is something that requires foresight and long term planning, stuff a profit driven corporation does not possess. Beyond increasing our understanding of the universe (something I don't expect someone like you to appreciate), extra planetary mining could revolutionize the way we obtain our raw materials.

Never imagined that one of my best friends on DA would have his work featured here.
Was meant more for those who use that as a serious argument than to bash on him.  I was in a pissy mood when I posted that.

Never mind the fact hat governments never think beyond the next election at the furthest.

Meanwhile, governments have attempted to prohibit asteroid mining and extraplanetary colonization (two major aims of the Moon Treaty) while private corporations beaver away at making space access cheap enough for colonization (a million dollars a kilo launch costs is not going to work for people to settle off planet) and the technologies to actually allow things to be done in space and other planets.

STOSSEL PLZ!
STAHP!

Would it be in any way surprising if Hollywood made ANOTHER bad movie adaptation of a good game, regardless of who was involved in the project?

Anything Hollywood does that connects to gaming turns to crap.  Game adaptations of movies are bad because Hollywood refuses to put the required resources into the game to make it good.  Movie adaptations of games are bad because Hollywood refuses to take games seriously.  I won't say that someday a company that makes good games will buy a studio and then use it to make good movie adaptations, because Sony already did that and it didn't help.

QuoteSorry, but this doesn't violate your 4th amendment rights. Why? You opted-in to travel by air through an airport where it is well known that you will be searched in one manner or another. It is made absolutely clear that you will be searched if you /choose/ to use the airline service... And choose you did.
