Whittle says what I've been saying. We reached an "apogee" in our culture in the 1968 ish time frame. Whittle's idea is to challenge ourselves to go higher and further.
Once again, nothing wrong with this. But who will do it? Government? Not a chance. No, the ones who will go will not be government sponsored, but will have to be privately sponsored. Otherwise, it will never be done.
Secondly, if it is privately sponsored, it cannot be purely scientific. It MUST be commercial, because there's no way that even the richest individual can afford to take on such a project without having some means to defray the cost, or even to turn a profit.
We are looking at things the exact wrong way. A challenge won't change that. A poll pointed out by PJ Media cites that the younger generation prefers socialism. Socialism is not going to take us anywhere but to the bottom of the heap.
The problem is the government and those who are running it. Dammit. Where there's no vision, the people perish. Yep.
