they should really drop the idea of trying to understand the world
Did I just read above correctly? Don't you think there are lots of possibilities and things to learn if we explore the universe? Do you think it is a waste all these billions spent on space exploration and the likes to understand our planet and other close neighbours further? I, on the other hand, will beg to disagree with you on that, so long as there are questions, I think science will always get or at least try to get us the answers. Thank you.
