You have to balance the needs of the future along with the present, otherwise there will be no future. Sure, but I can certainly sympathize with the position people are suffering here, today, and we should help them rather than worry about a distant future. That, and I doubt very much future oriented thinking is on most of the minds of people supporting spending money on space exploration, while we scoff at global warming, continue to rely on oil, and eat animals here on earth.

It is impossible to have such a scale at 31 million miles away yet produce pictures like that while standing on the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villain The Foe Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 You know, this is what the school system and social engineering has produced. The mental grip is strong. I need to just remember that, even though this can be frustrating. Not everyone has the eyes to see and ears to hear. Ima leave this alone, as I said what needed to be said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often these sorts are also textbook Dunning Kruger. Makes the whole exercise of debunking futile Nothing has been proven wrong. All non skeptics are able to do, is say, "I don't believe you're right. They don't have anything they can point specifically to, that proves their "belief" as a truth/fact. Pointing at a tv or reading material provided for you by govt approval, is not proof of any kind. It's just your "belief" in something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you are relying on a outside source to tell you how to think. That's' not learning. That's being trained like a monkey or parrot or dog. Lol you didn't choose anything. Text books are chosen for you. You'e never actually chosen anything in your life. Your choices are limited and chosen for you. Based on materialism and govt approval. You'e never been free to choose anything. School is the very definition of being told what to think. When you were born, you learned an entire language on your own. With no paper, pencil, books. You didn't need an external crutch. Then, it's your first day at school....see Dick run. Your dumbing down for the next 12 to 16 years has begun lol. That's why home schooling was mocked early on. Govt understood that if they can't keep you bottled up in a institution for years. With the same mundane, daily routine/indoctrination. People would start to think for themselves. School is pathetic. By 6th grade you've learned as much as you need to, to communicate. It's a bunch of useless info after that. At home, you could learn 12 years if that crap, in 3 years, maybe even less. They don't teach finance, law, or how politics a really work. They want you as dumb as possible.. lol and train them to be smug about their ignorance.

Sure, I'm not suggesting we devote a large portion of our budget to space exploration. Nasa is currently 0.49% of the entire budget. That's a blip on the radar and what we are learning can potentisl help avert any number of existential events including climate change 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
