Outer Space ?

Okay today I was reading my Environmental Sci book and came across a couple things that made me think and question something.
First of all I learned that Uranium turns into lead 270 after over 700 billion years. Secondly, I wondered if all Uranium turns to lead that is in the ground, eventually? They say they date the earth by lead in the layers of rock. I found that interesting. I didn't seem to find the answer to that question.

My 2nd observation was after reading about life on other planets. The Mars Viking missions, it got me wondering why is it that we humans smart as we are didn't think to send something to another planet Mars? Moon? that could help develop life survival.
Now what I mean is, if we have knowledge to get a ship to Mars why not go just to the Moon and deliver something that could cause life to grow on the Moon over millions of years of course. As an alternative when our earth is killed by Humans. Wouldn't that kind of be an answer? Why not send some ships to nearest possible life sustaining planets and deliver some sort of organisms that could evolve into life. Who says it has to be air breathing life? Fish swim, they cant breath air to live. I know my ideas are probably ahead of the technology but it sure gave me a good think about possibilities.

Probably may not happen in many generations but it is possible. Least I thought it!

Lastly I don't have a real I knew it because there is no way I would have known that the UK could be more devastated by flooding than I could have imagined possible. It is heart wrenching and I write the end of this as tears fall, grieving for the people with such loss. I have not felt this sad about catastrophe since Sandy and Katrina. Something about the UK for me though, because it was always my home away from home so oddly I seem to be in more pain about this than I was with USA floods.
I have a couple shots taken from news stories. They are here for information on just how bad things are. Send some vibes out to the weather to stop raining and causing these floods. Even though I do know that there's not much hope of that happening.. God Bless the UK .. and give it some Peace. Photos by the BBC.
