Who's to say there will be anyone around to know anything?
We are now in what has been defined as the 'Anthropocene' period, the epoch in which the Earth has primarily been shaped by humankind who have used or re-shaped the planet and its material wealth to their own ends.
These resources are finite, and we are already facing the uncomfortable fact that we are running out of some of them already.
I'm a big fan of the moon. On Christmas Eve it was HUGE, very low down in the sky and a yellowy red colour, it was fabulous! Anything to do with the moon intrigues me.

Well it's less likely if we insist on sticking around in the same old originating neighbourhood trying to make it paradise. All eggs in one basket isn't ideal. Need to go create a nice stable wormhole as tube to the next station ;-)
// The Chinese are only interested in mining precious metals really so looks like we will start to dig up there and pollute there too. \\
You're not wrong there youngmaf, so depressing. Money money money.
