We can already feed everyone. We just choose not to. Space travel has nothing to do with it, but we should do it anyway.

    I'm for space travel but I think the commercialization of space will benefit a very few.

    Not if we have gay space-communism and anyone and their mother can use the skytrain (my colloquial name for a space elevator).

    If you like space elevators you'll love orbital rings. Literal train into the sky!

    Love 'em! I think one of Banks' Culture books even has a river running through one. I really believe it's more a matter of when and not if. We probably won't see one, unless longevity treatments become a thing.
