The idea of landing on mars or even building a colony may sound strange and often times farfetched but it isn't. The President announced plan for the near future for an eventual 'man mission' to Mars that would take place by the year 2030. Now some would argued that such a mission would be very expensive and would be off the wall as recklessly ignoring valuable social needs. I agree with the latter that it does but what I think critics fail to miss the level of confidence in which the President says. He comes off as being high strung and elusive when he vouches for a mission and exploration to Mars. Here he sounds too often like JKF with the concept of New Frontier in which case landing the man on the moon is one of them the other things I take though one could be only unsure whethere due to his untimely death that he would actually meant it would include more jobs, better education, a stronger national defense in the wake at that time of the USSR, and advancement in civil rights.
Traveling to the moon might be a little bit more realistic and perhaps would offer us a way to get back on track since the recent Space shuttle explosion upon re entry needs some type of redemption. So why is it that such confidence and popularity can be heard among the President's decision to send a planned exploration sometimes in the future.
The more physical and concrete reasoning has to do with the fact that it would probably happened sooner than you think. If it is true as everything can possibly be in this universe it is as things are that with the increased pressure for technology to improve itself a sudden surge and advancement must take place. The internet as I see it is merely a phase or a driving force, only itself only a premature shape of what it will be as an institution in the future. I would like to call this stage especially after the WTC fiasco as the beginning or perhaps even going underway the age of Supertechnology(or a Supertechnological revolution)the whole premise of such a fact finding theory rests on two writers. One of them is Isabel Paterson's classic The God of the Machine in which case the author here uses the comparison of energy and motion to explain history such as war and the birth and destruction of greater and lesser civilization(if such a comparison can be made). The WTC fiasco is explained away from a perspective that with computers and ever increasing faster computers the way they need to made and disposed is fast destroying the environment. It also accelerates the age we live in. Such energy makes us thinks of the internet as taking over but not necessarily true. The internet is taking over only in the forms that what will something like that that destroys older institutions does and never brings them back but the internet itself is being constantly waged under attack as the issue of Kazaa has dried up free speech in the real world but alter the very instituitions of the world associated with free speech. Think of Tower Records going bankrupt and Blockbuster pulling out of Hong Kong and on the other hand the upper hand the federal government can assault freedom of speech when it comes to "decency" on television with the SuperBowl incident with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake and radio waves with Howard Stern. It can also be argued that hypercapitalism makes such restrictions plausible but these are old arguements several years ago when hypercapitalism it critics wouldn't know the greatest job loss here in America than we have ever seen before. It is the internet that too might have to change into something else with the advent of nannotechnology with the ever increasing super powerful but smaller microchips soon in a few years be todays memory and be called nannochips. If society becomes so high tech and animated like you see in 'Minority Reports,' there is no limit what this next phase of SuperTechnological Revolution will do.
The other book or author in which this age is all about comes from Dr. Isaiah Berlin's book The Magus of the North: JG Hamann and the Origins of Modern Irrationalism. In other words how technoligical advancement takes place will be based on the premise that mankind's thirst for the knowledge of the universe will outwiegh all other efforts in producing a goods and economy for the future. I guess we can say that we are living in the age of limitations in which case the recent BSE and avian scare only shows the limits there is to our food supply or how we will logically support the human race. Yet the recent BSE is only an obstacle to libertarian thought that argues against the Club of Rome about handling our food supply. Even with the best technologies and constructs, the strain physical and political can grow like a cancer and undo everything. This is what we see in this world today but afterall there is no turning back or submissively bowing to the antics of the past. One of the harm of the recent sniper attacks and the reality not an illusion that we can capture Saddam Hussein but not Osama Bin Laden is that we are going through a post-instituional effect in which case if the snipers out there who were able to shut down society there is no boundaries as to what other would be 'snipers' and 'pervayors' can accomplish to shut America down. The whole aspect of styming and shutting down institutions means in the future their desolation such as those 9 to 5, family and even going to a public shool every day is coming to an end. The recent and mysterious shooting in Ohio will probably overcast a dark fate on America.
Shutting down of societies does not at all deter the shutting down of states. Since the breakdown of the USSR we witness a irreversible trend borrowing from a British scholar the "deterioration' or breakdown of states (Haiti is by far just another casualty) and with this we see genocides in Rwanda and what is left of the former Yugoslavia. We all see a massive war in Africa as some pundits argued due to the geographic space it is contained has the face of another world war. Al Queda and the mere fact that we can't catch Osama Bin Laden shows among other things that it is obvious that such a movement is in the business of shutting down governments. There are tremendous evidence they are shutting down places like Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. It is only a loose philosophy now as post-modern thought and with a taste of the so called 'rule of law' that manages to hold the world together, but not for long.
If the age of Supertechnology takes shape it gives more creed and boost to the President's re-election bid to give him the unintentional consequences of him having vision. With this age we can rest assure that issues like slavery and even her greater evil nuclear weapons will have that much of a romantic arguement for and against itself as the forces of the internet soaks up everything including jobs, style, and even our values. This statement of mine would legitimize or pay deaf ears to such stuff but it means that we are overlooking other things that are coming into fruition...the stuff like tobacco, perfume, even cotton will make a comeback as the increased need for individuals and groups of people to reassert much less re evaluate their identity. With nuclear weapons, there is no stopping the President as being irratational to use bunker busters in Afghanistan. Furthermore it just awakens us to the new technologies out there such as plasma technology like you see in "Star Ship Troopers," virtual reality(here I mean something more interactive), trans warp technology, things you only dream of in sci fi movies. With these advancements will be a play on what is the physical world vis a vis the virtual world.
Another thing that why the President says the thing that he does is as someone I read mentioned is the 'night watchman' states shift further outwards. The President wants to ban gay marriages but even outside of fringe politiking it will take years if not a decade for such a constitutional amendment takes place and like the judge if I am not mistaken says it is also naive and hypocritical not to overlook what harms does gay marriage does, in other words , this view reflects the so called 'coercive' nature of government vis a vis 'absolute free will' or 'negative libery.'
