Don't ge me wrong, as a race we have come on in leaps and bounds technology-wise, and we now have the ability to look into space with an ability that our ancestors could only dream of.
I think today's space technology is fantastic, but I admit I am still frustrated.
When you learn that there are something like 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars (probably more) in the Universe, each one of these having the potential for planets with life on them, it is exciting.
But then you learn that even with all our amazing technology, it would still take decades/centuries/millenia for us to explore even the nearest star, it becomes a little annoying.
It's like, 'there's bound to be other stuff out there, but you probably won't get to find out in your lifetime!'
There must be so much out there... and I just wanna KNOW! Now! I don't have the patience to wait another 50 years or whatever!
How long till we get to finally find out whats out there, do you think?
