Decades of scientific studies involving asteroids, meteorites and comets have discovered what appear theoretically to be the "building block" chemicals necessary to create living matter. The beginnings of human life may indeed have come from Mars via a meteorite impact which flung chemical substances into space and onto Earth -- but the basic chemicals and necessary interactions likely occurred billions of years ago far elsewhere, raising the obvious conclusion that pieces of space rock have always transported and likely continue to convey said building blocks of life throughout the universe.
If we came from someplace else (which I have long believed, circumstances unknown), isn't it funny how we labor and strive essentially to go back to where we started? A place or places which likely don't even exist anymore? Are we ultimately just shooting ourselves in the foot with the potential futility of space technology? Wouldn't it be something if we really have nowhere "new" to go, despite the vastness of space?
Chip away: As long as I'm in pursuit of a negative course today (if not always) -- what's with building all of these expensive digital chip plants and crushing perfectly good farmland and animal habitats, when based upon much of our technological experience it should only be another three or four years before we can produce the damned things at home in our basements?
