It may be more relevant to concentrate on the next few centuries on earth and be of practical use. The fact is we have not solved relatively simple problems in comparison - world food, disease and altenative energy etc. Maybe then they can start on how to not fuck up the planet? Duh??
Sure.. nothing wrong with knowledge-gathering and understanding more of the planetary system, but hell - we are so damned backward and dumb about this planet - the only 100% certain prospect is in screwing up/contaminating other planets. Until we can get a clue about managing ourselves - what point??

if you don't see the value in humans exploring their existence in the universe, then it's people just like yourself that you speak of: backward and dumb.

read that.
at one time people really thought the world was flat and at the center of the universe. in fact, if you said otherwise, you'd be killed. if no one told you that the earth was round, you'd assume it was flat too.
it's a little more than 'knowledge-gathering'.
your post is so fucking stupid i want to cry. stop assuming 'we' includes myself in your own intellectual grouping.
