There is no water on Europa. There are theories saying there is water on Europa. Until you go there, get some, put it in a glass with some scotch, you'll never convince me there is water on Europa. So STFU about water on other planets. WTF difference does it make anyway? We're never leaving this cursed rock. NEVER.
A trip to Mars is a one way suicide mission. We may actually land humans on the surface there, for what? A few vacation photos and a flag stuck into some red desert wasteland. The radiation will turn whoever goes there into hamburger hot pockets anyway. Meatbags were not made for space. Distances are far too great and there are no warp drives, bending time/space or Sevenof9 hot borg biatches. We will have consumed every last resource on this planet long before the ability to travel such distances ever exists, if it ever will or could.

In 8 billion years, the sun will go Red Giant and consume this entire solar system in one big flash, like your uncle Teds Turkey Fryer did to the back porch circa Thanksgiving 1998. 'Here, hold my beer.'

A billion years later, it will White Dwarf, collapse everhting upon itself and freeze the remaining dust particles into one large snocone for someone else to discover and go, hmmm, wtf were these idiots thinking?

That's such a monolithic diatribe against space exploration! I can think of 2001, no wait, 2010 reasons against your stance.

You mad bro?

Being able to get off this planet should be the single most important goal of humankind. Survival of the species and whatnot.

Just in case if nothing else.

You do realize, of course, the nearest solar system that could possibly support and sustain human life is 4.5 light years away, right? Explore all you want. You're going nowhere, slowly. Me? I'm watching football, fondling what few willing women I can find and shooting deer while I'm here. Seems so much more grounded in reality....

That's just the kind of defeatist attitude that got Obama voted in in the first place. You make me sick.

Just got my biatch flag on today. I used to be really optimistic about space exploration and endeavors to leave this planet. But reality is a harsh mistress, it won't happen in my few remaining years, and for many more to come, if at all. I think we should be exploring ways to better manage the office at home so we don't end up eating each other because the bees and oceanic algae are all gone within the next 50 years.

Carl Sagan was a wonderful dude, an inspiration to me actually. But then I stopped smoking so much weed and took a look around. Humans are flawed in so many ways beyond their admirable traits that I am just the cynical bastard and get tired of this reaching for the stars is our destiny bs. Our destiny is here. Here is where we should be focused.

/now get off my lawn.
