Why are we throwing millions of dollars into space exploration and not into deep sea travel?
Edit: I feel as if deep sea travel would benefit us more than trying to find stuff in space

We need to live on multiple planets to increase our survivability. The ocean doesn't do anything for us.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 4/6/2016 3:31:12 PMHow much will have deep sea travel benefit us when we need to get off the planet? There's no very "breakthrough" science that is going to occur from swimming in a puddle.

5% of of ocean is explored. Unlocking the mysteries of the deep sea ecosystem of the ocean can help us find new resources for medicine, food, energy source, and other products It can help us by predicting tsunami, and earthquakes and help is understand how earth is affected by climate change We need to know our own planet before we just decide to jump to a new one and run away and maybe learning more about our own planet would help find a new suitable planet for life

Edited by The Cellar Door: 4/6/2016 7:03:03 PMI understand what studying the ocean can do, however we shouldn't be choosing that over space. Besides this, sciences surrounding the idea of space travel and energy consumption would help the planet far greater than anything in the ocean would. For instance, if we perfected nuclear fusion, we could cut almost all of our emissions. We can get a better grasp of this by studying stars. If we study neutron stars and gas giants like Jupiter, we can understand more about superfluids. A working super fluid could cut our emissions by half as well as help us conduct efficient nuclear fusion. The thing is, ocean floor is new due to plate tectonics. The origins of life will not be found in the ocean. History will not be found in the ocean. I'm not discounting the ocean as a valuable source of science, but I will ardently argue against it being a priority over space.
