Lots of places here are home remain unexplored, and astronomers (especially the radio types) are exploring the universe - literally - every single day and turning up new wonders at a pace that doesn't half make your head go round.

Talking about physical exploration. NASA is completely under-funded, when we went to the moon people thought we'd be on mars within 20 years, 50 years later we are only just starting to talk about that. It will be millennium before we develop the technology to explore a significant part of space.
Well...so what? You personally don't get to go a-spacefaring. Big, fat weeping deal. If everyone felt that way, scientific progress would be a gnat's whisker of what it is today. You're aware that we have up-close photos of Pluto and robots crawling round Mars, right?
But I suppose none of that matters because YOU aren't there. Cry me a feckin' river.
