Monday on Trappist-1??

Prompt: War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger...

Is trying to colonize other planets for human settlement a good or bad idea and why? If it's good, what steps would you see having to take to go into something so big? If bad, what should we do with space programs besides replacing satellites every few years?

Oh Puh Leeze! We don't even take care of the planet we're already on. Why go and ruin another? The USA in so much debt, I don't even see why we need to be dumping money into the space program at the moment either. Hmm, I feel a rant coming on. Wrong blogging group. Don't get me wrong, I think the space program is necessary, and seeing the images that come back are fascinating. Trappist-1, the new group of planets discovered last week blew my mind, and I get it. We really have no idea how vast space is, what's still out there waiting to be discovered, if we are alone, etc. But right now I fear that if we don't get our shit together on Planet Earth, and soon, there won't be much of a planet left and everything will be a moot point.

It's almost 11. I've had a shit day. The storms last night fried the work computer. By the time we went out and bought one, we realized it fried the printer as well. So now I have a new pc and printer at work. That's my excuse for not having a better response. I'm tired. I'm cranky. And my inner bitch is dying to be let out.
