I have a curious mind and was always very interested in life on other planets and what was once living on other planets and what or who may still be out there. Recently scientists have just announced that PLUTO is a dead planet or not even a planet. That is fucking great. The world powers spend billions (trillions) on mars exploration, the moon, searching the galaxies for signs of life, past and present. What kinda bugs me is this...our human population here on earth cant even connect with each other, and we spend all this money trying to connect with ''others'' that may or may not even exist. All THAT MONEY THAT COULD BE SPENT TO feed the poor, educate the ignorant, shelter those that live in poverty, protect our water and plants/animals from the pollution we impose upon them, is spent on a far away fantasy of nothingness. We were meant to live and die on earth, to live to a certain age and hopefully, when we die, our spirit begins another journey to who knows where. It is just my opinion, but is it not much better to connect and bond with one another here on earth, then to make up bullshit reasons to spend money on the exploration on the universe???? IT is great to be creative and to want to explore, but damn, how about we work on making life on earth as best as we can for one another before our short time here expires? We got it all ass backwards...concentrate on our own world, which we still dont know that much about...hell...we cant even figure out what happened to past civilizations, the dinosaurs, whats at the bottom of the deepest oceans, why certain diseases and illnesses kill us (such as cancer, aids). :wink:
