Lots of years back, I read a Sci-Fi novel in which the author had human space travelers on a different planet, an outpost colony, and those folks were scheduled to return and a rocket ship to be sent to pick them up. However, at residence socialism had set in, class warfare and the citizens wanted that cash spent at house for social applications and not with the space plan. The colonists had been stranded operating out of supplies, and life-systems to preserve.
Basically, the politicians of the government decided it was even more prudent for them enable the wishes of the individuals to prevail, therefore, no rocket was sent to choose up the colonists and they died. As negative as that Sci Fi Novel had portrayed that prospective eventuality of the future, it has at all times stuck with me how instances transform, and how the greedy masses never have their desires satisfied and how they are willing to sacrifice a couple of, as lengthy as they get what they want.
Now then, let's bring this philosophical debate complete-circle to the present period. You see, there was an interesting write-up in Aviation Week on November 4, 2011 titled "European Turmoil Imperils Space Budgets," which presents an intriguing and unfortunate challenge for the forward progression of humankind. The post had stated that
"The EC is busy spending budget cutting among the 27 members of the European Union just after a draft budget plan abandoned future funding for the International Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) project. In spite of having sunk $three.16 billion into the flagship Earth-observation project to date, the EC program would shift the burden of GMES operations funding to individual member-states, a gamble that could spark protests from EU member governments, and which carries important political danger."
Anyone that thinks China is slowing down in their space exploits has not been paying attention significantly, a handful of days later immediately after that write-up above came out two additional appeared in Space Day-to-day Online News Syndicate titled "Will China's subsequent space mission be manned?" and "China's space market to see accelerated expansion more than subsequent 10 years," which seem to indicate that China has the will, funding, and desire to conquer space, even if the Western Nations fail to make really good on their lofty and optimistic plans.
One particular has to ask why the Western World will not preserve great on their promises to their space missions, and siphon cash necessary for exploration and the advancement of humankind into a lot more totally free fishes for the masses, whose quench will by no means be satisfied and in the end socialism will win and the progress will quit, and "The Regressives" will indeed rule the political will on Earth. Please take into account all this.
