Space..The final front ear

The next World War could be fought over the moon. You may have seen the Chinese rocket that recently launched two men around the earth. China's ultimate goal is to land on the moon. President Bush recently announced that America was going to start moon landings again.

Why the interest in the moon again? I hear you ask.
Well it seems that scientist believe a Helium Isotype is abundant up there and I heard the BBC report that this Helium 3 could be the answer to the Earths fuel problems.
Apparently a bath-tub of Helium 3 would be enough to power Britain for a whole year.
The complete supply could keep the Earth running for 10,000 years. read more here .

...I think this new 'Space Race' to the moon could prove to be a new catalyst for conflict here on Earth. Who will get to 'own' the moon first. America has been there first but if the Chinese can get set up and established will they want to claim it all for themselves.

For those people who claim the Iraq war is all about oil then this new battle for Helium 3 could spell out the end for our future generations. On the other hand the world might get together in peace and harmony to harvest this future power supply. Hmmm....what do you think?

The poll result this week was close:
NASA's Space Program is....
...important --------------------23%
...a waste of money ---------23%
...essential for the future--- 23%
...trippy man------------------- 31%
