NOVA ScienceNow 7-28-09 enthusiastically describes the many steps taken and
planned to colonize the moon to be a base camp for other colonies farther
out in space. The crucial need is water, and the next moon shot will probe
specifically for water. [Dick: The film is utterly blind to the imperial
implications, utterly devoid of need for international, cooperative base
camps and colonies. OMNI’s international perspective and that of all the
peace movement are needed to focus with the UN if this earthly militarism
and violence are not to extend into the heavens. OMNI needs a volunteer
devoted to helping the peace movement find alternatives to this terrible
prospect.]
