So global warming is being caused by natural causes. OK I don't think it's entirely down to that but will accept it.

So what about the shit air we breath in every day. Do you think this is doing us and our children good or what? I remember when a grey/beige cloud did not hover over every city, when you could take a picture outdoors and get clean light.

D yes I accept that without dreams we are nothing, but we have to look at reality as well. How many of the dreams man had came to nothing? You only quote the ones that worked.

To my knowledge no one has so far come up with anything valuable enough to justify the expense. As someone pointed out "No oil there." If there was anything worth having then we would of gone. We put up satellites all the time, because it's profitable, the Internet exists because it's profitable, in fact everything you quoted happened because there was money to be made. So far I do not see anyone making money from moon dust. Might change but there are far more pressing problems here on Earth to solve first.
