Image if we had that small thinking about exploring our own planet? We wouldn't know much. Space is mans final frontier. If we are to understand and better ourselves we must learn about the universe and our place in it. They are already slashing NASA budget meanwhile other countries and private space exploration is on the rise. It's not wasted money to learn about the frozen caps on Mars. Or to learn that Pluto doesn't completely revolve around the sun. Or that we have thousands of near earth debris from the original collision of the planets that can drop on us while you stay pooled in your ignorance. fukk you sir. I'm a nerd and damn proud of it. I'm completely in awe and what the Voyager space crafts are doing. It's not just mapping the solar system and outer space. They have placed golden disc which details our very existence. They introduce us to the interstellar community. To whatever life forms it may perchance come across in the universe infinite gasp. Shout out to the Pioneer spacecrafts as well.
