Massive 'ocean' discovered towards Earth's core
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25723-massive-ocean-discovered-towards-earths-core.html#.U5scZCiTyBo

A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth's surface. The finding could help explain where Earth's seas came from.

The water is hidden inside a blue rock called ringwoodite that lies 700 kilometres underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock between Earth's surface and its core.

The huge size of the reservoir throws new light on the origin of Earth's water. Some geologists think water arrived in comets as they struck the planet, but the new discovery supports an alternative idea that the oceans gradually oozed out of the interior of the early Earth.

The number of sponsors suggests NASA is expecting the commercial space travel sector to keep growing. Squint at the bottom right of the nameplate and you might see a familiar logo: Weyland-Yutani, the nefarious fictional megacorporation from the Alien movies.

Maybe name it after a ship that doesn't blow up.

I'm thinking IXS Millennium Muthaf**kin' Falcon.

Hopefully the start of more widescale metal-based home 3D printing.

...as well as fighting back against the Svoboda Neo-Nazi scum holding seats in the Ukrainian government.

The whole thing is such a mess.

Rather fix things here on Earth first before literally burning billions and trillions of bucks in space.

I'm all for doing both, but I don't see how that realistically would happen.

Ain't no one going into space now except rich 1-percenters on vacation to an orbiting space station a decade or so on.

If that.

Not true there are startups for mining asteroids due to the rare earth materials in them, all robotic tho so in a sense you're right.

Infinite resources in space could help fix the major problem on earth.  Everybody fighting and jockeying for position over resources.


MAKE IT HAPPEN CAPTAIN.

Not to mention that the long-term survival of our species relies upon settlement on other worlds.
