It would probably be less expensive to reach Mars than fund the crazy wars we are currently fighting in.


It is also sad that you could buy toy versions of all the paraphernalia of those wars, for the “edification” of your grandchildren, with the greatest of ease.

I’m not fundamentally opposed to space exploration, but I do have reservations about the amount of money spent on it, when there are so many people starving and dying of curable diseases. However, given a straight choice between space travel and war, I would have no hesitation in saying let’s go “to infinity, and beyond”, rather than blow one another to bits.

There never was nothing.
