Why aren't we zooming around in space already? What's the point in locating these planets if we'll never get to visit them?
This is sort of like looking at a friend's holiday snapshots of a place you'd never visit in a million years... and attempting to feign interest. What if they find an inhabitable planet but I'm allergic to it? Imagine travelling all that way just to find out that the whole planet gives you a rash. | |

What if they find an inhabitable planet but I'm allergic to it? Imagine travelling all that way just to find out that the whole planet gives you a rash. I never thought about it that way. I've always considered the launching of newer and more powerful space faring telescopes that will replace Hubble as the appropriate use of limited funding. Shooting humans out to that useless, expensive Space station, or in our even more stupid and useless space shuttle only serves to funnel money away from these satelite missions. The hubble and related satelites have been able to actually document the once theoretical remnants of the big bang (the further out you look, the further back in time you're actually looking), and all manner of discoveries. This is no to say we shouldn't be going out in zipping around space, but that the collection of data and information about the universe we actually live in, to me at least, is more important given our resources at this time, then manned missions. But ultimately I do agree. Why aren't we out there now? Why should the resources devoted to this be so small especially considering all the money the US government likes to throw at its war machine. | |

The new satellite after Hubble (it's schedule to run it's course in just a couple of years) is supposed to bee something like 6 times more powerful than Hubble. That shit is gonna be kickin'. | |

That shit is gonna be kickin'. Yeah, but - just what is the point of locating "inhabitable" planets if we can't ever get there? Shouldn't they be developing space crafts with warp-drive so that explorers can actually visit? http://en.wikipedia.org/w...erre_drive | |

  I have a firm grip on reality...Maybe just not this reality   |
