Radio ? Looking for ET in the 20th century
Probably should try to find intelligent life here on Earth before looking
towards the stars, don't you think?
Were the planet Earth a more beautiful place when early humans
climbed and lived in the trees; We cut the tree down, paved roads,
polluted the waters, cleared the land, put the Indians on the reservation,
does god wonder why I can't find what's so intelligent about it.
Pretty much echos my sentiments. The human race has evolved into a
virus and will likely self exterminate before mother nature has a chance
to do it herself. Maybe she'll get it right next time.
Well speaking of exterminate, I don't think NASA or the US government
are taking asteroid impact with the Earth in a to serious manner, when my
conscience tells that one will come to close or from out of no where by 2020
perhaps on a collision course with Earth.
The ISS space station should come in handy we'll be needing it to construct a
launch platform for nuclear warheads that could explode a warhead in front of
the menace then deviate its course to Earth.
The bad news is the shuttle fleet will be retired in 2010 to be replaced
by the Ares Rocket (first launch 2015?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares_I
Sadly the Saturn V rocket should never have been taken out of production
rather its systems updated, material structures so forth, reconfigured its
modularity to fit the modern age spaceflight. The heavy lift launch capabillity
would be decades out ahead for it if we had done so instead of cancelling the
Saturn V entirely. Notice the similiarty between Saturn V and Ares on the wiki site,
see the space shuttle ? now remove the space shuttle from the display, think
of this as a big gap for Saturn V evolution and design modularity.

Apophis will have a close encounter with the Earth in 2029 and
could hit us when it swings by again in 2036.

Schweickart reported that by 2019 asteroid watchers will have on
the books upwards of 10,000 objects with a non-zero probability
of impacting Earth. "The bottom line," he said, "is that in the next
10 to 12 years, we are going to, in all likelihood, have to make
decisions...not because one of these things is going to hit us...
but because several of them look as though they might hit us."

The Test Ban Treaty of 1963 prohibits nuclear weapons tests
"or any other nuclear explosion" in the atmosphere, in outer space,
and under water. While not banning tests underground, the Treaty
does prohibit nuclear explosions in this environment if they cause
"radioactive debris to be present outside the territorial limits of
the State under whose jurisdiction or control" the explosions
were conducted. In accepting limitations on testing, the nuclear
powers accepted as a common goal "an end to the contamination
of man's environment by radioactive substances."
