weird groups and the moon.

The Moonflower Society, an international group pushing for building a moon colony, has started lobbing the International Olympic Committee to begin plans for the "Moon Olympics."

---How many odd groups like this are there out there? Do you honestly ever think we will colonize the moon? It is amazing to think how far space exploration has come though. Arent they going to take the Space Shuttle out of commision soon or something like that? It personally makes me wonder where techonology will be when our kids are say, in their 50s. Its kinda scary too. I wonder what the home computer will be like at that time. What about something like an MP3 player? By then, who knows, maybe some surgical implant will be possible.

It all freaks me out.---

Moonflower??? WTF? I too am disappointed that there is no colonies as of yet on the moon, wouldn't it be cool to go there!

There was this SF book I read once (the name I don't remember) in which on of the characters spent some of his time in a large stadium on the moon designed for this sport where you could strap on a pair of small nylon wings and fly around in the stadium.

I think it would be really cool to see the Earth from the Moon. The view would be awe inspiring.

I read/heard somewhere (prob. Art bell show) that a station on the moon is the first step to StarTrek style deep space exploration. something to do with the space station gravity blah blah
