How long has it been since we've personally explored the stars? Too long I say. Too long have we been bogged down by other "important" projects that "need" funding: Green technology, feeding the poor, curing cancer, childhood diabetes...we need to focus on what's really important: a moon base. How are we to know whether or not the decepticons are going to start invading us tomorrow while we try to search for some guy named Kony today? How are we supposed to make nachos without all that Cheese? I ask what is more important to your daily life, the price of tea in china or being a member of United States of the MOON?
Finally showing some initiative, NASA has started humanity along the path that we fell off some 50 years ago: colonizing the stars. With the launch of the Orion Exploration First Flight-1 in 2014, NASA will obtain crucial data to this end, mainly testing the technology necessary for further manned space-flights into deep space. Here is a video showing the entirety of the mission that will take place.
Why are we allowing our representatives to cut funding of our future. We all saw the graphs on sustainability in class. We don't have much time left to get off of this dying planet. Why clean up a trash bin I always say, even if you're the most conservative person in the world some uncaring, cancer-ridden, poor, diabetic is gonna come along and steal all your money and throw his trash all over your house. Do YOU want a messy house or a brand new house with a nice view of the world?
