The Earth has only a fianite amount of resources, the rest of the Universe is unlimited. Nice article by the way :) I think it is of absolute necessity to explore space, even if it’s just for the resources at hand.

But what has the potential to really excite and bear returns is not the act of spaceflight itself, but the possible destinations....

I really thought the possibilities presented there were fascinating. The more I think about it, the more I feel like Nixon did us all a disservice by moving our focus to LEO and making spaceflight "commonplace". The public really seems to have lost the wonder of it all, and that never ceases to upset me. I’m glad you included that Discover article.
