The problem with Nuclear Fission reactors is that they have huge costs associated with them - startup and maintenance. I believe some power groups in Ontario - maybe Bruce - wants to add more but they are simply not practical.

Nuclear fusion is simply not dangerous. A catastrophic meltdown is not possible based on what I have read.

It seems to me that the space exploration has the potential to develop into the single greatest “green” environment.

Think about living in space where every resource is limited in some form or another. I would hope the technology and processes developed in space could applied terrestrially as well.

Space exploration can be done later in the future when and if we eradicate the problems we have on Earth first. I think that the money spent on these programs were spent on infrastructure or international aid the world would be a much better place - instead we are in space and for what reason?

And just for the record, I am against nuclear fission power. No matter how slight the risk, I don't think it's worth the danger.
