I'm reading all sorts of stuff involving colonization of the nearby planets (such as using floating cities to colonize Venus) and then after reading the article about some movement promoting voluntary human extinction it hits me…
Once we have the technology to actually colonize other worlds with the least amount of effort possible, movements and organizations of all sorts will come out and oppose even touching the other planets. And they'll do this even though everyone knows we need to do in order to survive as a species. They'll probably spark discussions on religious and scientific, and moral grounds as to why we should not colonize other worlds…
What do you think?
(I guess I'm just being paranoid again, aren't I?) :)

Once we colonize space, it will be full of crazy people...
I totally agree with you. The world is just afraid of moving forward. A third of us want to get it done, a third of us want to think things through first, and a third of us will do anything to prevent it. Me, I like to get things done. I love when the world advances. I feel like we're stuck in a modern version of the Dark Ages.

I dunno. On the one had, your probably right. There'll be groups of people who oppose going to other planets for those reasons (although Mars-based environmentalism seems extreme and yet a plausible thing for extremists to do); on the other hand, it's also really easy for religious folk to find reasons to expand beyond the pale. A lot of the initial colonization of America was sparked by religious texts and sold to the European population.
The Venusians have told me they will resist all attempts at colonization by humans.
I have likewise been informed that I am, in fact, the only sane human and until you all reach at least the sanity levels of the microscopic Gnome-people of Titan, we will not be allowed to colonize any further than our moon.

But that's good, right? Once all the crazy people have gone to colonise all those nasty dangerous places full of noxious gases, we sane ones can start putting this planet back together!
To infinity and … well, you know the rest.
It'll be the same as everything else:
Science will approve, religion will object, millions will protest against it, millions will fight for it, wars will break out, and before we can even decide on wether or not we're colonizing a planet, we'll all be dead due to nuclear holocaust.
I know this, I have seen it with my precog abilities.
I personally am against colonising other planets. Didn't you morons read War of the Worlds? The martians are already planning an attack, all going there will do is speed up our inevitable doom!
Seriously though, there will be people whining about it, just like people whined about cutting bodies up for science, alternative energy sources, non alternative energy sources, building houses, digging mines, discovering gravity and anything else that allowed us to advance past hitting each other with sticks and living in caves. Until we get to Venus because no one can deny that floating cities surrounding an alien world is completely fucking awesome.

Yep. There'll be people protesting how our floating cities are ruining the natural environment of Venus by cooling down the surface with their shades. -_-
Yep. I'm sure people will be that nutty.
Then again, maybe that huge monolith on the moon will have something else to say about all this. %)

Either that or they'll bitch about the risk of falling over the edge or something.
PollutionMeh, by the time we'll get a planet as polluted as this one, we'll be long gone. Let the next generations worry about that one.
Maybe what we can do is turn mars or venus into a junkyard FIRST (without asking permission), and THEN solicit support to colonize those planets FROM those who oppose colonization in order to SAVE those planets…
I mean, you know, hypothetically speaking.
We could dump all our rubbish onto Jupiter or the Sun, then it would be obliterated.

We already have the latest in fall prevention technogically, they are called guard railings. Guaranteed 100% clumsy moron proof!

Are they suicide-proof? It'd be a horrible sight if you'd be hanging out at the edge of the city, and you looked down, and there'd be a huge pile of dead businessmen and such…

I see a new brand of dog treats coming soon!
I wonder what they'd call those…
