Elon Musk, Bambi And Beyond

Today Elon Musk predicts that space travel will become routine and paying voyagers will visit Mars in the not too distant future.It reminds me of the Walt Disney 1942 classic "BAMBI".In the movie Bambi's mother warns the fawn that "Man is in the forest"And not too much later in the film Bambi's mother is shot and killed. At that time the National Rifle Association convulsed hateful threats that it's no way to raise America's youth by teaching sympathy for wild life. According to the bible all flora and fauna was at the literal disposal of man. Who by the way "was made in the image and likeness of god". I can safely say that our supposed god is not any one I identify with.He can go to hell. Getting back to wunderkind Musk, to paraphrase Bambi's mother "Man is in the seat and ready to travel the galaxies". God help us? There is no god worth taking advice or help from.
