QUOTE : Giants in Jeans Sonnet 30<br /><br />Earth and Mars, what is the difference,<br />Mars is barren, Earth isn't much behind!<br />Mars is barren for there's no advanced species,<br />Earth is made barren by its native intelligent kind.<br />We haven't yet learnt to take care of Earth,<br />Yet we are now headed for Mars as colonizer.<br />With the money it'll take to get to Mars,<br />We can literally end world hunger.<br />Mark you, I am not against space exploration,<br />But there's what I call existential priority.<br />I guess robots who vacation at high altitude,<br />Are least likely to fathom what’s humanity.<br />Advancement that ignores human suffering,<br />After a brief flight, eventually brings universal ruin.
