    Incredible that his career spanned 60+ years. When I saw him in _The Dirty Dozen_ it must've already been thirty years old.

    This got me curious about who had the longest career in Hollywood. Mickey Rooney came in near the top at 90 years. [0]

    That's unlikely though, because the Puritans went to the New World themselves, on their own means - crossing the ocean, building their cabins, etc.

    Whereas the space colony will need trillions of dollars to be set up, coughed up by some big government.

    And they're unlike to send people there to fulfill their fetish/deviant lifestyle/whatever lifestyle...

    Heck, the puritans were persecuted from their old country. No government is going to pay billions to send persecuted people to a space colony...

    Except if it's a doomed mission, and e.g. they send death row volunteers or something, like The Dirty Dozen movie...
