The big difference between us and other animals, is other animals very much in the main, are adapted the environment.
We take the environment and adapt it to us, so it could be said we have evolved the ability to adapt the environment to us, which is why we are despeciating the planet by evolving it to our needs.
If we take life to the moon and beyond, how will we be ruining these at the present, totally lifeless environments, unless of course you think life itself a pollution?

Once we beat the russians, LEO was seen as an affordable place to learn how to live in space for extended periods of time so that when we did go back to the moon, we could stay there.

Until recently the U.S. and Russia were the only two countries that could put men in space. In the last few years, China has launched their first few manned space flights - and they have lunar ambitions.
I really hope China secretly develops a huge lunar program. Because the reaction from the U.S. would be the same as it was in the 60's - spend huge amounts of money to one-up them!

I reckon Steve Jobs will be the first to Mars with his iPhone 5.0 OS 
Seriously though I hope they do find alternate ways of getting into Space, the elevator does look like a good concept

Personally I would like to see the UN do it, but that is just a silly dream.
May I remind you, the true cost is work, money never fed anybody, farmers feed most of us.
All money does is motivates people, the problem is, some people want to make money without doing anything for it.

American, Russian, European, and Japanese vehicles launch and dock to the space station.
