[QUOTE=RaoulDuke;4496179]I'm not a tree hugger by any means, but I find it's a total waste to spend all this time and money to find out if there's another living organism in the galaxy when we don't know everything about our own planet.

i'm sure there's some funky centipede somewhere who can beat cancer.[/QUOTE]

Maybe there's an organism in the solar system that can beat cancer?

[QUOTE=Warfish;4496264]Is there a reason we can only do one, or the other? Can we not do both?

I agree 100%, exploration of the ocean depths is a good idea.

But I wouldn't agree that Space Exploration should simply end for some reason. The gain in human knowledge is worth it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, its called money. We ain't got none.

(it all goes to illegal immagrunts and birth control for sluts)

I'd say there's no money to be made at the bottom of the ocean. Space exploration has scientific value, but it wouldn't be where it is today if there weren't satellites or strategic agendas.

If we could spy on Iran from the bottom of the ocean, then we'd be diving like m'fers.

Let's hope the cure for cancer isn't on Uranus.

You don't know anything about interstellar space travel, you Neptune!
