Space is just a void of nothingness its not like what you see with Star Wars or Halo or any Sci-fi theme any of you people are thinking now.
Real, intelligent aliens would, I hope, be lot more interesting than simply humans with slightly weird faces.
I don't comprehend how someone can NOT be interested in space exploration, unless they just totally lack an imagination. Just thinking about the size of Jupiter compared to earth is enough to send chills down my spine. And, without even getting into exoplanets and considering anything outside of our own solar system at all, there's so much to see and learn here alone. For instance, how about sending a drill sub to Europa, or a Mars lander into one of the holes on that planet?
(Rather than just roving around on safe plains)
That's just a few exciting mission ideas that would have wide public appeal. Of course, something doesn't have to sound exciting to a layman to lead into big discoveries; space is where you'll learn the history of earth and the universe. Why are we here, how does it all work and how did it happen?
