Bleh. To me, it all seems like more for the upper class. I mean, if we end up "colonizing" space or whatever, who is it going to benefit? Certainly not anyone without a substantial income. I mean, really - they'd either use the place for a rich person's refuge when this planet goes to crap, or they'll use it as a storehouse for undesirables. Whee!
