Do you think mass space tourism will awaken a global eco-consciousness?
Q. Space tourism will soon begin in earnest, with suborbital flights. Initially, these short trips will cost a lot of money and be for the happy few. But within a few years, - hopefully -, space tourism might be accessible to very many middle class people. When astronauts return from orbit, they often describe the beauty and fragility of our planet. They respect earth, its ecosystems and all living creatures on it. They understand how careful we must be with what we do to this tiny dot in the universe. Will space tourism generate such an ecological view on life on Earth? Will suborbital flights leave the same impression on the tourists? And will they, consequently, spread the message of the care we must take to protect the fragile life and… [cont.]

A. As long as we have chemical rockets and propulsion, the amount of pollutants produced to get into orbit would make ecological-minded space tourists kind of hypocritical.

Are flat earthers SO dogmatic that....?
Q. In a few years, once space tourism becomes more accessible to the masses that people can purchase orbital flights, would a flat earther even dare go on such a flight? If so, seeing the round Earth for themselves, would they finally STFU??? They should call it the "head in the sand society"

A. Not sure why a lot of people think it is politically correct to give land back to the Indians...who only took it from other tribes when they defeated the weaker one. Are you going to ask those Indians to give that land back to the first tribe that settled the land. I think not. The same applies to special grants or money for the families of slaves from Africa. Where do you think the white man learned about getting these slaves??? Could have been during one of their trading sessions...when one tribe raided the other...they took members of that tribe to do their hard work...in other words...slaves. The Africans started all this slave trading...even back in the days of Egypt...which is on North Africa. So let's stop all this crying on who… [cont.]

American Samoa, Hawaii, or Micronesia (Guam/Mariana Islands). Where should I move to?
Q. I was considering the USVI but it's too easily accessible. I'm trying to get away from the mainland. Here's what I'm looking for: - Ability to work in the tourism industry (have a hospitality background) - Nice beaches like St. John for example. - Somewhat american food. Just an FYI for those who aren't aware. a) As a US citizen, I can live and work in these areas. b) The primary language in most of these areas is English with a secondary trailing behind. So please no uninformed flac. Just looking for suggestions. Thanks. you raise a great point.. but remember that high unemployment is usually attributed to lack of skill in these areas.

A. Remember all these places have high unemployment, and locals may resent outsiders taking much needed jobs. I'd move to Hawaii tomorrow if I could. It's amazing.
