Earth is not going to get any better unless all human beings unite...which is unlikely.

I wonder why we always portraits outer space creatures came from a united species from a planet? While ourselves are killing and bombing each other daily...ironic huh?

its the human nature to be curious.

for our humans self preservation's sake. it is imminent to venture our and to look for an alternative habitat. at the rate we are going to preserve the human race, we would eventually consume all there is that keeps the world going due to over-population. as we all know to preserve our kind is to populate, population breeds consumption of resources and that is what kills the earth. and the space on the ground is limited, the only way to expand is upwards.

the race to space exploration = human kiasuness

one of the moral from those movies/stories, "we must unite together"

i do suggest space exploration, despite the cost of space exploration, who know someday we might discover something that we cant found on earth?

and also some of the stuff and technologies that NASA implement for space exploration and space mission have actually become something that we used in part of our daily life??

i remember watching this 2 years ago in Discovery channel from astro, they said that the camera that NASA make for the recording of the moment the first man who step on the moon, that camera during that time is the state of the art camera, soon the material used to make the camera has become some essential materials in our daily life.

this is why space exploration is so important, it help us to improve, but at the same time it also causes a lot of mysteries, but that can be a goo things, the more mysteries you solved, the more you know...

who know maybe someday we might have a colony ship that can sustain life and can carry our next next next nex generation to a new world like those sci-fi movie.

pardon me for asking, i heard ppl said that footage was fake... they never landed on moon

Better way to duke it out in a tech race then arms race.

Though this also brought forth possibility of nuclear armageddon and the MAD idea.

good point.. i wonder...

ah see without the need to progress is to stay stagnant. always perfecting perfection is human nature. wright brothers absence in the aviation industry would stun the world we have today. without ford's enthusiasm in internal combustion engines development to outdo the rest, we would still be relying on chariots.

therefore kiasu'ism is good.

Space exploration is like those people who explores earth after the extinction of dinasours. There are too much thing to explore. And mankind should know earth is small planet among trillions. So, there are more living things in other place. Alien is the proof that there are other living things which are more high tech than us. Perhaps they call us 'alien' too? Space exploration is really important to find an alternative planet or resources. Human should accept the fact that other 'living thing' is exist in this universe.

Earth definitely is dying. No one can save our earth, but reducing the effects of global warming, ozone layer depletion are possible. But again, we cannot create ozone layer or create iceberg at northpole.

Watch mythbuster

It is again busted.

meaning it was real after all ?

hmmm... why iz US so superior?

Your shallow thinking make the world suffer.
I am glad that you are no where in the position of leadership of this country.

if nobody cares to explore new knowledge, then the world will be the same place like 1000 years ago.

If no investment was made to discover electricity, then you would still be living in the dark fighting the Mongols with your spears.

space investment is not for your immediate benefits. it is for all humanity in the future.

say, if alien species invades earth, where would you go if you dont have spaceship technologies? human race needs to survive and we need to continue to invest in space technologies.

lol no personal attacks ok... diff ppl got diff thinking mah...

u are right in ur points above.. if we don't try something new, we'll remain stagnant

hey, i jz raise up a question for every1 to answer, doesn't mean that i hv shallow mind, so accusing othr ppl is what u call mature mind? mind ur words b4 u post

chill bro, this is not /k/ or RWI... let's be cool over here and talk science stuff k ? let's forget this

i hv no prob bt i dn welcome ppl who post without thinking

Yes it is real, at least they show us why it is real on the show. It might deceiving though, since the show is from US also?

US said it is new, but russian said it is fake, maybe...

just assume it is real, why US so superior?

a correct way to spend money, a strategic way to do business, not to mention they got money, there are also more people invest in US, eventually the government will have more money to to R&D on space exploration in a proper way and not like playing sand, send a human to space making teh tarik and roti canai is not called R&D
