Since We're Filling Our Planet With Garbage, Let's Not Forget Near-Earth Space And The Kessler Effect

2. As some kind of Luddite I was looking forward to "Peak Oil."

Alas, it turns out we'll not run out of fossil fuels ever. There's more than enough to destroy whatever is left of this world as we know it, including our civilization.

I have similar feelings about the Kessler effect. It could be a good thing, helping our civilization focus it's attention on what's truly important.

Sending people to the moon again, or blanketing the surface of the earth with high speed internet and cell phone coverage, really isn't that important. Space communication systems are contributing to the destruction of earth's remaining wilderness.

I hate it that any of my tax dollars support military, commercial, or manned space projects.
