After his many Navy expeditions to the south pole, Admiral Byrd is quoted as saying that beyond Antarctica lies a land mass larger than the US, with plentiful resources beyond what we know.

If that's true, we need to dismantle the Antarctica treaty and do what man has always done best - explore the very earth we live on.

Why is it that no plane has circumnavigated the globe north-south? Humanity should fight for the knwoledge of what's on our own planet before we try to venture elsewhere. Besides, so much of space exploration by NASA and other agencies is suspect. How are we to believe what they say about mars? And even based on what we've been told so far, it sure isn't a fraction as habitable as our earth.
