You mean MAN hasn't been to another planet. ( the moon is not a
planet ) Robot explorers have explored every planet in this solar
system ... except for Pluto. Yet there is one on the way to Pluto as
of this moment ( the New Horizons mission ).

I think another manned mission to the moon is a waste of time and
money. What's the point. What can we learn from placing a man on the
moon ( again ) , or sending a manned mission to Mars, when robot
explores can do it much more cheaply without the risk of life ?

I'm not sure what you mean by another ' world '. The nearest star is
4 and a half light years away. Man travel to such places is science
fiction for the time being.

Until we develop energy alternatives, which will take time, we can't drive
the Arabs back into the sand.
The road to discovery is paved with what didn't work, first.

I agree ... but I don't agree with Al Gore's and the liberals " Doom
And Gloom " approach to such matters. " Limousine " Democrats flying
around in personal jets and living in mansions ... all the while
preaching to us about how WE need to cut OUR fuel consumption is just
ridiculous.

California and the liberal nut jobs out there are a perfect example.
If California wanted to get tough on idling by saying we could only
use APU's ... fine. If they want to promote electric cars and bio-
fuels ... fine. But just to come out and say NO IDLING PERIOD because
it's causing global warming. Oh pulleeease.

They need to take a practical approach to such matters.
