Staurm I see your points and I can appreciate your sentiment, however the only way I differ from your viewpoint is by how much energy we should be spending on the space program.

You are absolutely 100% correct... if we cant figure out what the fuck we are doing here, then we will not be able to function as a society in space. HOWEVER.. that does not stand true for everybody, simply the pathetic mass-majority. The people who enroll in, and spend their entire lives in the space program are very serious about it, and sometimes forget all about the shit that goes on here, they are so focussed. I guess my point is, we cant really decide which one is more important, I think we should continue developing each one equally: Our space program, and our ability to interact with our own species as a whole without all the embarrassing ignorance and violence.

When I say this planet is a fragile ecology, Im talking about all the many ways this planet as we know it could be destroyed. Our number one enemy is ourselves... global warming and nuclear war are the biggest threats to this planet and our lives on it, so we definitely need to start from there. However thats not where it ends. Any number of asteroids and meteoroids have the ability to take us off guard and fuck our world up, and whose to say when Yellowstone will go off?? That could happen in 10,000 years, but more likely its gonna happen on this side of a hundred. And what then? I just think we need to slowly begin stretchin our fingers outwards as well. It serves more than just one purpose.

By keeping with the goals we have set, we are starting to form a consciousness with the mindset to suck it up and stray from these natural human tendencies towards chaos and entropy.. to instead work together with a common drive and the goal of betterment and preservation of self AND species. We are also forming the beginnings or the core group of people who are serious and passionate enough about going into space that it is feasible to believe they would not succumb to the self-destructive fallacies of our species. By doing more than just dipping our toes in this endless pool of black, this final frontier, we can still have the manpower, time and resources to spend on keeping shit from falling apart here on Earth, while more and more people get inspired by the stars.


Do you want to know why I think our species is so ignorant even after all weve learned? Because for most people, reality to them ends with the atmosphere. We are still thinking of ourselves in terms of Americans, Chinese, Russians, Canadians, etc... each country thinks they are the baddest ass humans, and were the baddest ass race, and we fuckin dominate this and that and BLAHFUCKINGBLAH. We need to stop thinking we are so fucking significant... we arent. And we need to stop thinking of ourselves in terms of temporary lines drawn on an insignificant planet. We need to start thinking of ourselves as EARTHLINGS. We are all Homo Sapiens.. we are the same race of people with the same possible destinies, and we should be working together; instead of fighting over fucking fossil fuels, we should be collaborating on how to more effectively utilize hydrogen and all the MANY other energy sources.

I dont think we will come together as a species like that until first contact is finally made on a global scale. When our planet as a whole finally realizes we arent alone, maybe then we will begin to coallesce into something fantastic. Until then all we can do is keep reaching a finger or two towards the stars while trying to continue balancing shit out here on Earth. But I firmly believe we do need to maintain some sort of balance or we could end up getting locked into some amazingly stupid shit. Like for instance, a two-term presidential war with a personal agenda.
