That's actually a silly argument. We don't have to get off this rock. We could learn how to play nice with this very comfortable spaceship that just popped up out of nowhere. Even if we want to get off this rock, we don't have to do it just now. We could use the money for more important things or just spend less.

No, the real reason to go into space (and the ocean, don't forget the ocean) is because it's cool. The rest is just filler for a grant proposal.

What's wrong with a party balloon and a hose?

Apple has always had a little bit of trouble with time zones, DST and the like....

Everything is a Western?

The money isn't really in the product, the money is really in creating enough buzz to get some other sucker to put his money into a well so that you can cash out. Once that stream of suckers^Hinvestors drops out, the economy drops out. Quickly.

So in ten years you will seen storefronts boarded up again. They won't be storefronts from the 50's and '60s (the last boom and bust cycle), they will have LED lights and fake granite counter tops and old Wifi routers. But they will be boarded up.

Large volumes of inexpensive, clean water that do not require large amounts of energy to process is a finite resource.
