Re: what if
About 500 years ago as many people were traveling great distances across the globe as there are going to space today. Also today a majority of the population never travels more than a 100 miles from their place of birth (unless they are force to by war or fammin). Also 500 years ago was when the Americas was found. The development of the Americas was partly fueled by the fact that Europe was consuming its resource so quickly that many thing started to be cheaper shipped from across the Atlantic. I repeat my theme in my previous message history has taught up that restraint is wise.
