  1. I don't know about you guys, but I feel slightly afraid of the idea that private companies could control space exploration. I might be a bit old fashioned in that regard.

    1. @metaltao now that i think of it that doesn't sound super-duper safe

      1. @purplebear Yeah, but SpaceX has successfully launched a space ship to the ISS for NASA already, it just seems to be the fear of what if they monopolize it some how? I doubt they will, for it is space, it is huge. I can't seem to run from that fear with reason. And, I do hope to go to space someday.

        1. @metaltao the universe is constantantly expanding so no one could ever explore all of it, not by a whole lot, much less claim or monopolize it

          1. @purplebear But, you could limit the amount of rockets built and who gets to send them.

                          1. @purplebear You like space?

                            Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:34:58 UTC from web
                            1. @metaltao verey much, i did a whole report on how our universe was going to end and why it would happen

                              Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:35:52 UTC from web
                              1. @purplebear OOO! Was it the Heat death? Or what other way did you report on?

                                Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:36:26 UTC from web
                                1. @metaltao the 4 theories: infinite expansion, the big freeze, the big crunch and the big rip

                                  Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:37:23 UTC from web
                                  1. @purplebear All of them?! My god! That sounds like some interesting research, but not so much presenting. Did you like the reporting part? They just bug me. Reports, Eughh. But, which one did you like the most? Well, like as in most likely for the universe ending is not a fun idea.

                                    Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:38:49 UTC from web
                                    1. @metaltao i enjoyed reporting it, everyone was into it and asked questions. plus i got a really good grade on it. my favorite theory is the big crunch because in the end a new universe could be born which brings up the question was or universe born of the death of another universe

                                      Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:41:04 UTC from web
                                      1. @purplebear THAT! Is hella awesome! And, I think that same theory has also brought up an interesting question of whether our universe, before the Big Bang was 4 Dimensional.

                                        Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:42:09 UTC from web
                                        1. @metaltao it is so interesting! and the big rip, the whole dark energy thing so cool!

                                          Friday, 19-Sep-14 22:43:14 UTC from web

      1. @mushi i won't either, i will go somewhere on earth that is far away but i prefer to stay on this planet

    3. @metaltao Private companies own the banks, provide our healthcare, and get to decide major political issues. How could they possibly mess up space exploration. Oh, wait...
