REPENT WHILE YE CAN! YOUR SOY OVERLORD IS NIGH!

Barring global catastrophe (!), our destiny lies off Earth; Moon bases will be nifty, but our future lies on Mars - the only realistic option we have for an off-world permanent home. Now, if I'd had my way, we'd have all this accomplished already - we could have if we had stayed on the same trajectory of the late 60's space program. Sigh, Apollo....

But it is inevitable, eventually, that we will colonize near space - it's an evolutionary must, on the one hand, if we wish our species to survive for a longer term; but practically, again eventually, there is so much money to be made in space that this final frontier will not be denied: Greed is the pathway to human exploration, apparently.

And when we do colonize near space - I tell you now so you may prepare as you see fit to our collective destiny - it will be a vegetarian colonization. It would be far, far too expensive and impractical to raise any sort of livestock on Mars; shipping meat in, while possible, will be very expensive -- too expensive for the norm. And so, our Lunar and Martian brothers and sisters will live the vegetarian life, eating soy in the shape of meat, and growing to only mildly rue it;

So preach on, my Vegetarian comrades -- the future will be ours!
