Sad Reality :(

[Heat]

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.

Calm down jesus, I am personally very interested in becoming an astronomer when I grow up, I look at those images on a daily basis.

There is a huge difference between looking at images of far away planets, and stepping foot on them, that doesn't mean we should give up on everything just because we can't physically touch them, that's not what I am saying so stop twisting my words.
