Our Future!
I read this earlier and thought it was pretty cool:

Any time, we as earthlings start planning missions like this, or even bring them to life in discussions, I get excited. How cool would it be to build a traveling colony? Who cares how fast we can go, or how far. We could just visit the planets on the way out to the unknown!
Hell, maybe Clinton could come along as the Spaceship/colony President. He seems interested.
I know this is a pipe dream at this point in human evolution, but it would be cool.
That sounds like a plan
Just read a story about NASAs plans to build a space station in orbit around the moon. A platform for Mars missions. Pending funding, construction will begin in 2019. I just might live long enough to see something cool! That is if the world does not end this year, crafty Mayans.
