With all this talk of using up non-renewable resources I think we have lost sight of one very important renewable resource. Teenage hormones. Seriously. If we could but harness the frustrated hormonal energy contained in one teenager we could rule the Universe.
A good example:
There hasn't been a manned Moon landing in a long time. It's been easily more than a week. Here's what I propose. We send a lunar lander to the Moon. Said lander is equipped with about a half dozen lifetime vouchers to the bordello of the bearer's choice. We let the information out into the grapevine (the only known form of comunication that can go faster than the speed of light) along with the implication that Old People don't want the teenagers up there looking for the vouchers and getting adolecent germs all over the pretty Moon rocks. Presto! Lunar colony by Tuesday.
