The WORST place on Earth for us humans to live is FAR BETTER than the BEST place on our sun’s/other planets. The light from the sun 93 million miles away from Earth takes 8 minutes to reach us. Light travels at 186,000 miles per SECOND. 186,0000 miles per SECOND is 60 times 186,000 miles per MINUTE. 186,000 miles per SECOND is 3,600 times 186,000 miles per HOUR.

The NEXT CLOSEST star after our sun is 4 light years away from us. The light from that star takes 4 years to reach us — traveling at 186,000 miles per SECOND. Even if that star had a planet with living conditions like Earth, a one-way trip there would take 4 years traveling at 186,000 miles per SECOND. NO rocket spaceship travels anywhere near 186,000 miles per HOUR. 186,000 miles per SECOND is 3,600 times 186,000 miles per HOUR. So even if a rocket spaceship could travel 186,000 miles per HOUR — reaching that next closest star’s planet would take more than 14,000 YEARS!

How can any INTELLIGENT EDUCATED SPACE SCIENTIST believe we 8 BILLION humans can find, travel to and live well somewhere in SPACE? To escape our SICK Mother Earth where we have caused the CATASTROPHIC CLIMATE CRISIS.

For scientists or anyone to swallow this INSANE FANTASY is as DAMN FOOLISH as believing in a FAIR, LOVING PARENT GOD who hears and answers MILLIONS of sincere desperate prayers for help from starvation, hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, family violence, rape, torture, WAR…

Many educated scientists rightly see through and REJECT religious make-believe about a FAIR, LOVING PARENT GOD, but do some of these educated scientists believe the CRAZY FANTASY about space travel and living somewhere in space? SPACE is VAST, LONELY, COLD and mostly DARK!

INSANE FANTASIES come in MANY flavors — religious or so-called scientific. 

The rockets for space travel WORSEN the Earth’s climate crisis.

I ENJOY living SIMPLY — BELOW THE U.S. POVERTY LEVEL to do LESS damage to OUR ONLY HOME — Mother Earth!

When Gandhi was asked what worried him most, he said the hardness of heart of the educated. 

My favorite words from Albert Einstein, “More and more I have come to value charity and love of others above everything else — all our lauded technological progress — our very civilization  is like an ax in the hand of a pathological criminal.”
