I mean, everybody except NASA sees that you just don't get good space mileage on rocket fuel. Space is just too big, and gas tanks won't get us out of our own backyard. There is Ion Propulsion. That has been proven to work in the probes the launched with it. That could potentially take you near light speed. Wonder why they aren't trying to upgrade? And yes, I'm aware that we would all be stains on the wall if we could go that fast, but I'm hoping they develop a way around that too, so no need to mention the G force thing in your answers. I'm just curious about propulsion options since obviously liquid fuel doesn't work.

the government funnels billions of dollars into NASA every year. much of that money goes toward exploring the solar system, our galaxy, and the universe, searching for forms of intelligent life. I must ask, what are the benefits of this continued exploration? Does it really matter if there is intelligence elsewhere than earth? Couldn't that money be used better elsewhere, like all those poverty programs that some congressmen support, or funding Medicare or Social Security?

the only benefit I can see of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is the confirmation of evolution; which supposedly is already a fact. If, to the scientists who believe macro-evolution as a fact, why do they insist on scouring the universe for signs of evolved life, wasting our taxes?

Is the human species ready to be introduced to some of the other inhabitants of our solar system? Or are we still at a point where we would freak out, like when 'War of the Worlds' first got broadcasted?

... if rain fell up and half the earth was above, not below, and the other half was completely separate below, and that was also rained on?? ... so that instead of having the earth in the middle and the sky falling down from 'above' it, we had the rain in the middle, falling upwards and downwards towards each inverted - hemisphere [or up and down] to the 2 suspended hemispheres - each half of the earth appearing to be stuck 'unsidedown' compared with the other???

Is it coincidental or indicative that maybe some of the current theories are flawed.
