100 Millions Earths in our Galaxy
This further solidifies my belief that today, more than ever before, we need to SLASH space exploration budgets and pour more money into social welfare programs. The more likely it is that every man who has ever looked at the stars and dreamed that we weren't alone was right, the angrier I get. There is nothing in space worth knowing or seeing. Just dead rocks. My life, and all the resources of humanity, are much better spent on projects on this Earth. Why, I'm furious that they even spent the money on this project... that's tax money that could have been better spent not winning the wars in the East, or not improving school test scores... or better yet, it could have been better spent on generous Federal bureacrat pensions! :cuss:
Ooh--sorry... I was channeling the Tendo City sentiment en masse for a minute there.
Post your counter-thrusts below.
