Space Exploration

RE: Space Exploration
The problem is that we aren't to that point technologically yet. The most we can hope to accomplish at this point are cursory explorations of neighboring planets and our own moon... which is child's play in the grand scheme of things. The kind of money that child's play consumes is far better used for other things at this point. I am all for space exploration, but I think we should sit our asses on earth for now and spend our time inventing forms of propulsion that can take us further. We need to stop trying to make everything a manned flight and create robotic exploration vessels, sending them out in our stead... while we continue to work on how to send actual people. The focus on manned exploration has slowed progress, in my opinion. We simply are not ready for that yet.
