They can do more transforming in a few decades then we could do in centuries. They could turn a cold planet like Mars into a habitability world once again. They can thrive off the martian landscape and pump trillions of tons or oxygen into the atmosphere in turn heating the planet significantly. Yes they might interfere with life that might be on the planer, they might also make it flourish. Who is to say if we don't try.

It may not be conspiratorial, but it is still the product of conspiratorial propaganda--especially when only one side of an issue is presented. Yes, some drugs were rushed to marketplace (to be expected when we allow the clinical trial and revieww period to be shortened by almost two thirds!), before the effects were known (greed), or, rushed to the market after suppressing known risks (malfeasance)...but many drugs, pharmaceuticals, do in fact help people, many of them with slightly to significantly more than placebo response outcomes....but they don't work for everyone...plus, we are condition to believe in the 'magic pill' concept (part of the placebo effect, btw)... ....the world would not be 'over-populated' as you say if there was much less waste, and less unequal distribution of energy. For the amount of raw materials and energy Americans consume (32 times more than a typical African villager), and the amount of waste we generate (Eurpoeans have comparable consumption rates)...WE are over-populated....does your insoucient attitude towards over-population die-offs extend to Americans and Europeans... As far as the actual topic goes, I am ambivalent about this...Russian right now seems to be intent on taking bold steps in its Space Program (such as new targeting an asteroid (that will come within 300, 00 miles of EArth) to be destoyed in space...maybe its just to make the West a bit skittish (pushing ouor space buttons, as it were)...but their programs have always been daring or 'pushing the envelope' in some way... I would say that something like this should be put to a "world vote"...bu then, if we did that with every space mission, I fear little spce science would evr get done.

It may not be conspiratorial, but it is still the product of conspiratorial propaganda–especially when only one side of an issue is presented.

We are in a overpopulated world! You didn't receive the memo but the more people die the better. Seriously! It's not a conspirator theory. It's for real. Just take a look at what US is doing to their own citizens. Health, selling medications that makes people more sick, is the 3rd source of money in UK, as the UK Parliament has already claimed in the review "The Influence of Pharmaceutical Industry", 2005. What about the health insurance in US? Medicaid, Medcare? 30.000 Americans... who cares? LOL Wakaa,
