When the hell did I compare VH with punk?

Do you even know about Europa? We know I hell of a lot about it. We know that none of the other planets or moons are habitable, and many couldn't even be landed on. I guess the only thing I'd like to find out, other than Europa, would to prove the theory that Saturn's rings are the result of a large moon exploding into smithereens.

Europa isn't exactly secret knowledge, so duh, of course I know about it. And you saying that there isn't at least the potential for habitation outside of Earth, again, shows a complete lack of imagination. Just because we're not going to be colonizing Mars by the time you're dead doesn't mean it's impossible.

Pay attention: OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

And Alpha Centauri is only about 5 light years away.

Again, who's going to fund that, which I'm guessing would be in the quintillions of dollars.

Your original wording: universe.

Try to pay attention to what your own point is or one will be assigned to you.

Pay attention: THERE'S MORE TO SPACE THAN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

Anything involving space exploration is obviously a long-term goal for the next who-the-****-knows how many generations, so why are you worrying about paying for it all right this very minute?

Hey Frowny, pay attention.
