Alright, so this lunch I had a very goo discussion with Justin, Natalie, and Rachel about oil, the planet's future, garbage, and other stuff too. The thing that we disagreed on most and peaked my interest the most was the garbage issue. I'm gonna try to give both sides as objectively as possible. Justin and I felt that, once it became

And I totally agree with Ariel (that's my half-brother) and Sarah, that we should be focusing on recycling etc., but that's why I said in the first place that the stuff being sent into space is the stuff we can't recycle, maybe 2% or .000001% or whatever, so it's a totally small fraction of what is actually used. Maybe just send all the radioactive stuff away, perhaps into the sun. And we'll definitely have economically feasible rockets in the coming decades. Look at the X Prize winner, SpaceShip One, I mean that shit's efficient!
Well, now that I think about it, I think once we start recycling enough trash probably won't be a huge problem and we probably won't have to send it into space.
But for some reason that whole "not our space" argument fires me up. It's fucking SPACE for chrissake, next to nothing is out there. How can I argue it any better?! We're talking like putting a drop of red dye in the pacific ocean. Infintessimal.

But I think the other side does have a point, but I counter with the fact that we as humans think trees and whales and all that are beautiful, and space, I mean, it's just a bunch of gas and dust. And sure, there's beautiful things in it, but they are so massive we couldn't mess them up even if we wanted to.
And for chrissake, it's TRASH. It's not that bad. We dump it here don't we? We're not sending out the grim fucking reaper or anything. For all we know it could be food to aliens.
