    We know more about Mars today than early Oceanic Explorers knew about their destinations on Earth.

        And yet we can't even feed our population. Oh, I mean we COULD. Be it would be like, a lot of trouble. And, rich people wouldn't be as rich.

        We could always stop breeding like animals. There are options other than indifference, and the notion "that's just how it is."

        Shouldn't we be spending more time, money & energy restoring, protecting & preserving our own beautiful planet & its myriad forms of life?

        Exploring the cosmos is a way to preserving and caring for our planet. What we know of Venus for climate science is a great example.

        What I suggest remains to be seen is how exploring the cosmos is actively contributing toward addressing the grave risks posed by climate change.
