So I was wondering what everyone's opinion on space travel. Some believe that we were never even supposed to leave our planet, but I don't agree. I believe that we were given a galaxy in order for us to explore it, and that we we're put on earth as a starting position. Any thoughts?
-
I'm Christian but still believe we should explore space. A majority of Christians don't agree with space travel.
-
Yes! Instead of getting into wars and killing each other for stupid shit we have to get into outer space for the benefit as a species. We need to get out there before its too late for us here on Earth. Its not going to last forever.
-
I feel like we're being watched
-
We are small.
-
Advances in technology and an ever present need for resources will eventually push mankind into space. Provided we don't nuke each other in the meantime, of course.

2 commentairesDestined? No, but I reject the notion of destiny or fatalism or per-determination so I scrub that notion from the onset. Will mankind, or perhaps some other species that evolves here eventually find a way to colonize other planets/moons et cetra? I hope so. We have a hard parameter of about a billion years until macroscopic life probably won't be able to survive on surface of Earth any longer, so in the interest of all biological life on this planet, someone will have to transplant it elsewhere eventually.

If the population on Earth becomes too dense OR if our resources deplete then yes.
-
Unless we break the light speed barrier then no
-
The stars are humanity's birthright, we only need to claim them.

What Evilcam said.

It's that or die.
-
Nah. We'll blow each other up before long.
-
If The Milky Way was given to us, what are the other galaxies for?
-
I'm still not sure if we were [i]given[/i] the galaxy but I do think we should explore it.
