So let me get this straight - you saw a pseudoscience documentary on television one time and fell for whatever non-evidence they spouted, and then read the very reasonable and scientifically sound website I cited, and you still prefer to believe in nonsense. Sounds crackpot to me.

As far as "protesting too much" - I don't think that speaking up against ignorance, especially scientific ignorance is protesting too much. I will ALWAYS speak up against erroneous thought - whether it be creationism, moon hoax theories, flat-earth believers, or whatever other ridiculous notions are out there.

Let me put it another way.
I really don't care one way or the other, quite frankly.

The only thing I am concerned about is our eagerness to find other worlds to inhabit, corrupt and pollute, because we've made such a mess of this one. I think the money would be better spent by those concerned, in trying to improve life on this planet, before trying to fudge another one up.

You're right about having made a mess of this one. A huge mess, in my opinion. I can't even read about the Mideast situation anymore without getting totally depressed. And as for the total destruction of the environment and the decimation of whole species, Darfur and pretty much every other place in Africa, HIV, malaria, global warming.... and yet so much wealth and power is held by so few people and most don't seem willing to do much to help out the world. Thank god for those rare individuals like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet - at least they're doing something with their riches...Paris Hilton should maybe stop worrying about her next party and try and think about doing something constructive with her money! OK! I'm getting off the soapbox now!

Most of us know about the mess now because of information. earlier also there was lot of opression and hunger. but no information. so no body knew what was happening around.

Remember third law of thermodynamics- with time entropy increases. So the mess is increasing.

Please don�t call it waste money or mess. I think human need this science; even if it need huge invest. I know that American paid it by tax and we haven�t participated, but I honored to each human progress. Yes in the earth we have a lot of problem as Darfur, middle East, HIV and so on, but it don�t mean we have not to think about space and other planet, I guess Bill Gates and Warren Buffet also interested to know what�s going on in galaxy and support such project (not sure about Paris Hilton!lol).

Two months ago Anosheh Ansari paid 20 Million dollar $ and went to space, many people called it �misspend money� but I think, she is sane and smart.
Recently I saw a news in BBC that scientists observed some water flounce in Mars, it�s exciting.
