Space Program

I am about as sure as I can be of anything that there are other worlds with other beings that are similar enough to us to be our friends. We are wholey capable of expending our space travel and communication programs enough to make first contact (assuming it hasn’t been made covertly already). I think that we are ethically obligated to do our best to explore the universe. Currently we are doing a mediocre job at best. This century should be the end of science fiction and the beginning of science actualization. It is time to invest in our fantasies and ideals.
