Sagan had a careful way about him that preserved the important thoughts and discarded the pointless ones. We should all be so scientific.

I'm apart of this generation, and I don't like any of that. Keep your mouth shut...

So what? Survival of the fittest.. Bitch.

Unfortunately many human beings still earn less than a dollar a day. I'd say that 300 million is a very reasonable number for the amount of people in the world that are rich enough to fund a project like this. 100 billion divided by 300 million is $333.

That line of thinking leads to us just giving up. When Newton couldn't stabilize the Solar System it took 100+ years before Laplace solved it. Why? Because Newton (the smartest man ever (according to some, and defended best by Neal deGrass Tyson) told everyone the Hand of God was there. Nobody even tried until Laplace came along.
Search for Perimeter of Ignorance here on YouTube. Tyson gives numerous examples.

So? We are moving "Onward to the Edge" (another Symphony of Science bit featuring Neal deGrass Tyson) of human knowledge. That is what is so awesome about Science. We are always expanding that knowledge and pushing back the Perimeter of Ignorance (presentation, again by Tyson- search for it on YouTube!)

That is the line of thinking that leads to depression and Suicide. Is that really where we want to go as a species?

I was speaking from a more scientific perspective, but okay.

“A decade-long program of systematic investigation of the entire Solar System would cost as much as the accounting mistakes on a single “defense” weapons system in a single year. The scientific space program is small change compared to the errors in the Department of Defense budget.” - Carl Sagan
We need to stop killing each other for two seconds and get out into space.

Anyone else feel offended that their upbringing and education did not contain ANY of "The Cosmos"? I am so happy I found it through Symphony of Science almost 3 years ago. Now I own the Cosmos on DVD and tell everyone I know to watch it on Netflix. This is information we knew 30 and 40 years ago that is STILL being suppressed in our culture.
"We could explore the whole galaxy if we could just stop being dicks to each other for like 5 minutes..." - xkcd
