Sports? (Score:5, Insightful)
We don't need no steenkink sports!
We're *geeks*!
Automated referee-ing (Score:5, Insightful)
I would attempt, wherever possible, to eliminate the human error factor in referees. Tag the ball, wire the field, use computer vision, radar, whatever. Take the pressure off of the human refs and let it be done as objectively as possible. So we don't have entire championships going down in history as "bad call, dude."

Anything that helps us to get into *space* is good. And sports shuffles a lot of money and attention from non-geeks.

This is why I voted for weapons-grade somethings. No idea what a PED might be but if it helps the players kill each other by being weaponized, it must be better.

So I voted for CGI. If it's just all one big movie then the cash to keep it going will go to nerds instead of genetically modified junkies.

Every time I look at the amount of money and other resources wasted on professional sports, I realize that there is nothing but sheer idiocy keeping us from having a moon colony. Let the deniers bemoan the truth. Commence.
So much economic illiteracy in one post. Resources cannot be arbitrarily reallocated with no side effects. You are not smarter than everyone else and your choices are not inherently better. The freedom to pursue one's interests is the single most important factor in providing the level of wealth to even begin contemplating such things as moon colonies. If everyone was compelled to do what their "betters" thought they should, we would still be banging rocks together to make fire.
