I don't need to be talking to you or anyone else on the Internet. Sorry but if the Internet is greatest achievement of the modern age then we're seriously screwed. Humanity got along just fine without the Internet for a very long time. People we're nicer and spoke face to face to each other. Plus we enjoyed our most prosperous period in modern history without it. To be blunt the net is a place where the average person waste time looking at stupid stuff when they could be productive.

So I'll stand behind my opinion.
All this space exploration is waste of time, money and resources.
