I'm like Rod. I'm really torn about this. I've sort of loved astronomy since I was a kid, but I'd like to see us work out our problems here before spending shit loads of money on "space ships" and "space labs." Orange and Urge had really good points: They have been making fantastic promises that haven't been kept, and I'd not be like the aliens in the cornball movie Indepence Day just because we've sucked the life out of this planet.
You know, the universe is finite... Can you imagine how much there is and there can be? You can't tell that's not intriquing.
