17. Well the point is....
"Why do we need moon bases and space restaurants?"

Why do we need invasions, nukes, 13 carrier battle groups?

The point is it is not that we need them but that sometime ago there was optimism and excitement for the future because we entered the "space age". 2001 was a window into the future that could of been. Had we not spend countless billions on war and shiny worthless junk maybe we would be dining at the "Restaurant at the end of the Universe".
