Billions of dollars invested in finding little green men and we know less about our oceans than about space. Why? Glad you asked. Because space is not controversial. Alien life; exploring planets; exploring moons; naming stars. It's all pretty benign. If we explored our oceans we would have to realize that life on Earth is based on the health of the life in the ocean and we would have to protect it. Then we would have to outlaw all the pollution that is dumped into the ocean every year. We would have to pressure other countries to outlaw their dumping. This would affect industry. People couldn't get as rich. This would affect politics. People would actually have to take a stance. So, it is much easier to waste money in space than to explore our oceans and save them. Once again, the almighty dollar makes all decisions the right decisions. NASA can explore my colon when they kiss my ass. And for you fucking astronomy geeks, how about investing money in our illiteracy, homeless, and crime problems first? Oh yeah, I forgot, because those problems are black.
