We are not going into space anymore or even looking to the stars as a whole in society anymore, we are not interested in advancing technology for humanity, we are mostly not interested in exploring the vastness of consciousness or the deep inner workings of our minds. We just want to come up with a bunch of petty reasons why we judge each other and pick each other apart. We want to make money and prove to our peers how much better then everyone we are and we are only interested in our own petty and selfish desires.
What is it?

For example, many people can use a smart phone, but would have little or no clue about electronics.
Many people barely even understand how a combustion engine works, yet cars are apart of our lives.
You can imagine when we evolve further, what we know now that we are taught at school is extensively greater than what the average person could learn in his or her lifetime not only 500 years ago.
I just don't understand why everyone is so preoccupied with such bull#.
have we just lost our path and focus and forgotten that there is a vast universe at our fingertips that we can explore and experience?

The universe was meant for us to explore and populate with
the knowledge, help, guidance and relationship of our
own SUPERHERO, so to speak. Mans attempt to go it alone
has failed and realising that, he has began to eat away at himself.

It better to deal with most of the problems on our little earth as best as possible, because space will be bringing more. Forget the stars and the gods, they are only there to remind us there much more mystery's out there that are dreamt of in our philosophy of the heavens.
I get what your saying and totally agree randy.

If we held ourselves to solving the problems at home before exploring we never would have sailed west from Europe.

This assumption is wrong. If there had been established a society based on other rules than money - we still would have sailed to anywhere in the world, including research in space engineering. Point is, the financial system makes people work against each other and not with each other. What the world provides today is unfriendly competition - even in "entertainment and fun" on a daily basis. It's only about the winner. By stomping others into the ground. And what for? All for the money. Many people don't even realize that, when they look their yearly soccer matches. That's how brainwashed they are. Thinking "what is wrong with football, ice hockey, ski worldcup?"... there you go. They still don't get it...
