Thanks for all the help on the Colonizing Outer Space some errors are indeed inexcusable, probably due to lack of attention... --Panic (discuss • contribs) 23:43, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I excuse all of the mistakes that I corrected. If anyone thinks my alteration of the tone or point of view of the article is not an improvement, it can be changed again and any disagreements discussed.  I make mistakes too.  I think others can spot the mistakes I make easier than I can spot them myself.  So we can help each other out. I usually monitor my Wikipedia talk page at least once every few days.  That might be the best place to reach me if I am not currently editing at Wikibooks.Fartherred (discuss • contribs) 00:17, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

( Reply to the post on Talk:Colonizing Outer Space/Colonization. I have provided there a reply to the first item but decided to post this part here because it is more a personal discussion not related to the content of the work and my position may be seen as controversial if not fully contextualized. )


 * I agree with you and I think that is is becoming obvious that something is wrong with what was already done and the goals set to being pursued. We should already have a fully automated, self sufficient presence in the moon with remote telepresence, the soviets were on the right path. Then there is the obvious conclusion that all lunches not directed to the moon should be made from the moon itself.
 * Note that I was born after the end of the space race, and I intellectually have a strong feeling of ambivalence on the fact that man has ever gone outside of low earth orbit. I know all the facts and claims but there are holes extremely large and even significant errors that I have an extreme hard-time accepting it all. So I would like to see it happen again, I think this also what motivates the need for maned space flight, to have someone witness it personally more than a need for human capacities.
 * I have never seen a more complete and succinct technically capable exposure of all issues then in this series (free access videos) that fully addresses any rebuttals from the other side of the proposition. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 01:24, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

PS: Since I had to look trough my url collection I found this link to an image of Earth and Moon as Seen from Mars, very cool technology demonstration... --Panic (discuss • contribs) 01:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
