Artemis Is A Go!

Now the state of Massachusetts is one of the richest in America. Those original Investors? No one cares if they made their money back.

Probably be the same story with the new lunar base and the eventual colony on Mars.

It is expensive, dangerous, and will not pay off for decades, but this is what Americans do. We explore, adapt, and win.

SPACE...TH E FINAL FRONTIER...yes exploration is in our DNA...that is WHY astrophysicists r searching for a suitable substitute for Gaia.

I did the research and posted it. It was about the earths water supply and where it goes. It's not my fault you didn't read the facts. This was the last sentence. I changed the word Earth to the word Gaia so that might help you understand it better.

"The total water vapor in the atmosphere remains largely in balance, with evaporation roughly equaling precipitation, keeping Gaia's water supply stable."

A couple scientists made up the idea that the earth itself is a living organism, back in 1972. There’s no evidence that the earth itself is a living organism, although it does provide everything needed for millions of living organisms to survive. Inferring that “Gaia” (the earth as a whole) is self aware and conscious is a pretty big stretch of reality that has no basis in fact. Makes for good stories though.

What year WAS THAT ARTICLE WRITTEN? iT IS 180 OUT FROM THE PRESENT ARTICLES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE,WATER SUPPLY AND EXTENDED DROUGHT OVER MUCH OF AMERICA. IT IS ALSO 180 OUT FROM WHAT THE HYDROLOGIST R SAYING ABOUT MEAD AND POWELL, IT IS 180 FROM WHAT OUR OWN MOUNTAIN SPECIALISTS SAY...WE HAVE THE LOWEST SNOWPACK EVERY...WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW IS THIS...THE PRESENT SNOWPACK WILL BE ABSORBED INTO THE VERY DRY EARTH AND THERE WILL BE NO RUN OFF TO THE COLORADO RIVER,THUS THE PROBLEM WITH THE LOWER BASIN STATES AND MEAD AND POWELL AT CRITICAL MASS.

i BELIEVE THE ARTICLE IS OUTDATED..

perhaps u should learn the subject from another source....(a couple of scientists,not valid)...the indigenous people (ALL ethnics) intimately know Gaia,they cherish her and attempt to live "with"respect to her,it is the basis of their very being...because she provides all their needs. THEY R AWARE OF
THIS SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP. and attempt to honor it.

Perhaps YOU should learn the subject from another source HA2.
AI sourcing of USA.Gov information is 180 off, out dated to you yet in your micro beliefs of an area on this for ever changing planet that we live on is based on religious beliefs thousands of year old.

A. I. SOURCING...RIGHT THERE IS THE HUGE PROBLEM...IF THE PROGRAMMER/CODER HAD OUTDATE INFO...GUESS WHAT G-I-G-O...GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT... A.I.IS ONLY AS ACCURATE AS THE INPUT DATA...DOTHE RESEARCH..THERE R PROBLEMS WITH ERRORS AND OMISSIONS..I STAND BY MY POST...A.I. JUST WOW...THAT U DID NOT SORT THRU OTHER MATERIAL NOT GENERATED BY A.I..(u do not want to engage this topic with me..since i was a VICTIM
OF A.I. and it's inaccuracy)

What makes Gaia female? Can she reproduce? And didn’t the primitive people you speak of believe in various gods?

Are you completely discounting science now?
