The moon has much higher rates of calcium, magnesium, titanium, iron and aluminum than here. That would be pretty tough on EVERYTHING.

Enough magnesium to react with water?

Magnesium does not react with water to any significant extent.

So anyway ... anyone up for a rational, fact-based, and civil discussion about the topic?

'OUR' future is space.

Do you mean the geopolitical US, or human-kind? It looks like you're leaning toward the US.

Anyway, I don't think space is our friend. From cosmic rays, to the vacuum, to the near absolute zero cold to ... just the plain lack of the precise mineral mix, gravity, natural food that harbors beneficial microbes, and all the mundane conditions we evolved under ... we need all of that and we will never reproduce that completely.

I'll even argue that we've done such a great job fucking up the environment that used to nurture us that autism rates have gone up ... again ... not to mention the multiple species that have gone and will go extinct due to pollution. The earth ain't what it used to be, and ultimately we may not even survive that, let alone have a future in space.

So anyway ... anyone up for a rational, fact-based, and civil discussion about the topic?

Plenty of good things to talk about now. Nobody's fault but your own if you obsess over all the bad things.

OONJ was great at avoiding the bad things. I'm sure she has better things to do with her life than spend her time here since it's become more of a polarized, name-calling shit-show than it ever used to be.

And that's REALLY saying something.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Is the USA the leading World Power?
YES!
...but going back maybe while others might be catching up

Does the USA still lead the world in Science?
Not sure, it was ahead now the Gap is much closer

Besides NASA
The US private sector
China
ESA - a collection of European nations in one group but No Manned Program
Russia
Japan
India
Canada
Iran
North Korea
...almost everyone has a space program

NASA wanst to return to the Moon, Biden dislikes Musk
and China wants to win

We can see World's JWST will see more, however before you land there are assumptions, it was once assumed Venus was hot and swmapy...Mars had flowing water in its channels or canal

Distances are too far unless some form of Exotic Science finds a solution like Wormholes or Anti-Matter
NASA is currently opening an investigation to UFOs

Yes the USA is the leading world power and yes you are correct it is maybe politically and scientifically slipping, other nations are growing but maybe not so quickly, they grow a little more but may not be advancing rapidly
I think the USA seeing others advance is more a sign of American weakness

Personally I believe a lot of problems come from the USA either trying to police the world or expected to police the world, they spend a lot of wasted blood and treasure on this, before like say in World War 2 the USA got a reward for the sacrifice in war but not anymore and its becoming more damned if you do and damned if you don't also through media and politics the USA is set up to keep fighting itself instead of improving itself

Me: I really don't know. Nature grants the big brains, & I suspect those are
distributed world wide.

Yes and if you want to talk about the smartness of peoples

for a straight politically incorrect answer here I will actually be 'racist' or a race real-ist in my opinion, the USA is a melting pot of everyone in the world. Other peoples were often defined by tribe, religion, language, ethnicity, blood and old kingdoms and nation state... if you boil down to just intelligence testing ethnic people and nations of persons who counts out a complex math problem, does puzzles, crunches numbers, then who ranks highest? the people like the Japanese, the Koreans, Jewish, the Chinese maybe also i dunno Norway? all rank very high on the intelligence scale, the Askenazi Jew is an Eastern Tribe of maybe a White Jew mixed with other peoples, these tribe of Jew they moved around Poland?, Russia?, Azerbaijan, Ukraine etc they also rank very high, the Japanese typically rank very high however I do believe their is more to intelligence than a test.

European types and Americans are the next step down but rank close to the Top most intelligent nations

the next step down is South Asia, and parts of Latin America

below this is India and Latin America

below this again is most of the Middle East Arabia, the Middle East by the way was once the peak of Civilization, all the math, languages, buildings, once the cancer of islam took over Arabia went religiously extreme, inbred, went to war with itself, a regressed place that said said Death to the Outsiders and never recovered since

and Africa unfortunately ranks as one of the lest intelligent places on this Earth this includes Haiti which is also one of the lowest ranked in intelligence despite it being not part of Africa, its part of N.America it does however have a large population that is mostly of African heritage

Something is very wrong with Africa

That is not to say one's heritage or ethnicity decides everything, you often are what you make of yourself and your life's journey is what makes you and even if a lot of stuff is decided by blood line and DNA then within the genes of peoples you have people who have 'freaks' giant Japanese who can play basket

Come together, right now, over earth ...

If all the nations could contribute to the space program,
all the educated and industrialized ones, anyways ...

We'd get some amazing progress & a lot of good will.

... oooOO}{OOooo ...
