Bill Sykes' Newsletter
from America.
(March 2004)
An ex-Brit gives his views-(without fear
or favor)---of the American Scene
Looking to the future of life on this planet:
The humanoid has always, since time immemorial,
killed the members of their own species for many reasons
and we are now approaching a stage in our shall I say,
development where killing has become an accepted method
of population reduction.
Weapons of mass destruction are readily available and
have become more and more advanced to a point where it
is inevitable that a futuristic biological weapon will
be released one day which will make the number of people
killed in past wars appear to be insignificant.
The release of a super biological weapon will probably
cause an unstoppable chain reaction regenerating virus,
which will decimate the population of this earth. What
a terrible thought. No wonder President Bush is recommending
the funding of a program to establish a futuristic moon
colony, which will have the capability to launch space
vehicles to the outer planetary systems. Not in our lifetime
of course.
Now we come to the technical part of the experiment.
Currently we are able to land a small exploratory vehicle
successfully on the planet Mars but are unable at this
time to design a vehicle, with the current technology
available, to be able to perform a lift off from Mars.
 So
are we wasting our technological expertise and our resources
at this time on an experiment to travel to the far reaches
of outer space - the obvious answer in the long run is
an emphatic no!
We are not wasting our time in expanding our technological
knowledge but we are wasting our precious resources and
energy and are being extremely foolish in depriving our
current generations of a healthy and peaceful environment
here on earth. The old adage, "Charity begins at
home", is still an important factor in today’s
world, and it is doubtful as to how far we can go without
completely depleting our current natural resources in
attempts to achieve planetary space platforms, which is
far beyond our current technological capabilities.
Stem cell generation and cloning experimentation are
reaching a stage when humans can be made to order, and
life can be extended by regeneration of vital organs -
but at the same time the body may be capable of functioning
long after the brain cells have diminished to such a state
that the "Living Dead" may become a distinct
and virtual reality, so why not ship the excess population
to far away planets?
