1: We can't kill the planet, only ourselves - no bad thing. 99% of all species that have ever evolved are now extinct, why should we be so special?

2: So how exactly DID they make it to the moon 40 years ago?

3: yup - a sexbot.. but I will never be able to afford a new one and I wouldnt buy one off e-bay *shudders* :(

2. With a much bigger budget, probably. Remember the USA were showing off at the time vs. the USSR - the space race was a major beneficiary of the cold war. These days they spend their money on their armed forces instead...
