Bottom line - there's nothing out there so what's to get excited about?

I think you need to study up a bit. There is quite a lot "out there" and some of it will be needed soon.

Not to mention - why continue spending trillions of taxpayer dollars to prove that nothing is out there?

Trillions on space? Really? I thought we only spent that kind of money on freebies for folks who won't work. If only we had that kind of commitment to something valuable.

There's quite a lot of what out there (other than space)? Why do we need it and why soon?
Be specific in your answers and handwriting counts.
