The Real Reason for Sending Astronauts into Space

Puneet writes "An article on New York Times discussing the need for astronauts for carrying out experiments in space. Too many of the planned experiments depend on crew operations when they could more effectively be done without them. In many cases, the crew is needed only to deploy an autonomous experiment."

    Why? Because we want to go. We don't need any other reason.

    I had the same reason for doing your mom.

    Seriously. To fuck. Evolution requires new environments to breed super humans. If we fuck in space, we will bring this new breed into existence.

    Space fucking is hard to do. It requires superior intellect to accomplish correctly. It's the perfect way to preserve the spices. It also has the added benefit of keeping the population away from the idiots. This is because a human that is born an raised in space is not likely to survive in a 1G environment. So, they'd have to stay in micro gravity or die.

    Eventually you'll have superior humans fucking other superior humans, and it just gets better and better. Imagine the creativity that fucking superior humans could come up with while on orbit. It's mind boggling. This is what my tax dollars should be spent on, god-ammit!

    Human exploration of space can happen naturally in a few centuries, when the technology has caught up with human desires. Until then, let's not waste money on human explortation.
