Why Space? Alan Boyle posted this response to his Cosmic Log entry I linked to recently about why we explore space: ”We have to stay here, and there’s a simple reason why. Ask 10 different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics — and you’ll get 10 different answers. But there’s one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on: Whether it happens in a hundred years, or a thousand years, or a million years, eventually our sun will grow cold, and go out. When that happens, it won’t just take us, it’ll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-tsu, Einstein, Maruputo, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes — all of this. All of this was for nothing, unless we go to the stars.” — Commander Sinclair, Babylon 5 episode “Infection,”
