Obama Has Permanently Shut The U.S. Manned Space Program.

Well, Space holds many soloutions to our problems. In terms of Mining for raw materials and resources, Space could be the way to go. However, in terms of planetary exploration and colonisation, I think that is a bad idea. Humans have developed bad characteristics which would just make us threats to habitable planets. There is a conscious and moral aspect to Space Exploration. Do we really want to find planets? Considering what we are capable of doing to perfectly good planets, I think not.

The moment a Human sets foot on a new planet, its fate is sealed. Of course, many leaders ignore moral or conscious issues regarding matters such as these and will more than happily tear up space for personal gains. Like I said, I think Mining for resources to support THIS planet for when our natural resources deplete is something I can live with, providing that what we mine from harbours no life. To go roaming across the stars bringing our problems to peaceful, and content Planets can only bring bad things for us.

Deciding to stay here on Earth rather than move would be perhaps one of the most thoughtful decisions ever made by the Human race.
