We should be funding the space program the same way we fund our military. NAsa is shut down now. Thanks bama, thanks for killin the dream. Science is the final frontier and we are certainly not investing in it enough. We invest in control, hate, fear and greed. That's why there is no hope for us.

This sounds like the diatribe from a college pothead. "I understand the world, man. It's totally real shit, maaaan."

whats the possibllity of a single microorganism being accidently brought back that no earthly immune system can fight and it eventually killing us all?

anyone seen the movie the day the earth stood still?

eventually our sun will die and if we're still confined to just this planet then our species disappears along with it

i.e. dont be a pussy

There is always that chance, but in time our sun will change and grow hotter. If we stay on this planet, we will all die long before the sun engulfs the Earth. He must go into space or we will die out.
