So I am probably going to be down voted to Hades but all the time, money and research spent on interstellar travel is ridiculous. How about we take those resources and fix the mess we have made of the one planet we know for sure is inhabitable for humans and cure the diseases that plague humanity, first?
Then once that is done we focus on space travel. With a healthy world population and thriving planet, who knows what advances in science, medicine and technology we could make. This all seems, as my grandmother used to say, “Putting the cart before the horse.”
Understand I am just tired of seeing wonderful human beings living in poverty, homelessness and with diseases, while we kill our beautiful planet for greed.
