For me, since we are alive, I think it's our duty as the human race to explore the universe as much as we can and get to a point where we can't go extinct anymore (by settling multiple star systems and galaxies). Our solar system isn't going to be around forever. When the sun eventually burns out and takes us with it, it would be nice if we've spread out across the universe by then.
for once i agree with you. i really do believe we should be sending a lot more shit up into space than we are. we should be fucking out there, man. exploring and advancing us physically through space. the world really isn't big enough for all of us, and it will only get worse. we need to tighten our trousers as a race and take a step toward fucking realism; we cannot all happily co-exist here. there isn't enough fucking room. expand. colonise other planets. learn, or die horribly.

I also think that we should have higher aspirations for ourselves than sailing around the universe in sterile tin cans merely to survive. For example, we might learn to control our local environment in more positive ways. And if we learned to churn the sun, mix it's outer layers into the centre, we could increase its lifespan ten fold or more.
it's still progress though. we need to take the necessary steps. if we don't take the plunge and start our interstellar age of sterile tin cans we may never reach a world(s) were we're churning the sun etc.

at the same time i want to know more about what we might be doing in the distant future. BM how the fuck are you so clever? seriously, i don't get it. i try. i listen and try to take everything in that people say but i just can't make it all stick. i'd never be able to remember stuff like that, let alone reiterate it fluently.
