So, we’ve found another planet. Bully for us. How on earth is this considered exploration? If Columbus had sat somewhere in Europe getting someone to build increasingly large telescopes for him until he had one so big it crossed the Atlantic and could be used to spy on Native Americans, would we have considered him an explorer? No. No we wouldn’t.
We’re several thousand years old now, it’s time to get off our arses and go and see what’s out there. We’ve made enough of a mess here - time to forget the damage deposit and get out before the landlord shows up.
