It’s incredibly sad how in a few generations we’ve gone from Apollo and “Let’s see what’s out there” to endless declamations on how we should not do anything new or unexpected because it’s all vewy vewy scawy and inherently bad.
News flash, dipshits: we have magic rocks that spew energy and a insanely large free fusion reactor in our solar system that produces 3.86 x 1026 joules of energy per second. The reality is that with the will and time we can do whatever the fuck we want. We are only constrained by our imaginations and physical laws.
Nothing else.
