At the end of the day I am always left with a bitter tast in my mouth concerning space exploration. Man can apparently send endless objects into space at a VAST expense, usually to taxpayers, but it still has homeless, starving, warring, crime, poverty and messed up humans gazing up at the vastness of "out there" and still so little know about our Oceans "down there" litertally on our doorstep.
Crazy World and crazy beings.
Peace.
Well one reason they choose Venus it was easier to get to, even if below the clouds it was a hellish landscape with an atmospheric pressure 92 time that of earth. Still I love the pics they got from Venus...but as far as extracting resources they have to make hardier vehicles and probes.
Agree 1000% but humanity can do both, war, death, destruction, and famine shouldn't stop us from attempting to find a vacation home. But I believe humanity must find a way to go and live elsewhere independent of Earth completely, or we risk our extinction sooner or later
His mind was not for rent to any god or government, always hopeful yet discontent. Knows changes aren't permanent, but change is ....
