Our Planet is Boring Now

I'm kind of surprised that we haven't started trying to colonize Antarctica yet. I mean, we got some scientists working there, and all that nonsense, but it sucks that no one's ever tried it yet. We have the technology to survive down there at this point, with massive difficulty, and it would be kind of a fun experiment to watch. Just to see if they could start their own country down there. As a challenge of sorts. You have to admit, the thought of living in a completely independent state is pretty tempting. You'd think people would try it more often.

That's one of the things that kinda sucks about the modern world. There's nowhere to go anymore. We've pretty much charted all of the inhabitable land on the planet, and most all of it is owned by SOMEONE. No more going out and colonizing new lands, we already colonized everything. The only thing left is to somehow find ways to live on the bottom of the ocean, which probably wouldn't be very practical, but I think that can easily be dealt with by counteracting it with how sick it would be to live underwater.

And then of course, there's space. Now, I firmly believe that everyone needs to just stop arguing, stop having wars, and just focus entirely on colonizing space, together as a species. Once we have the first couple of moon bases set up, we can start having wars again, but I think there are more important things than killing each other. Like being able to kill each other in space.
