More planets! YAY!

What a shame as long as we have religion and Republicans none of us will ever get to go to another planet.

You are quite unfairly targeting the religious and the Republicans.  Need I remind you it was the current President that has scrapped NASA development and mission plans altogether (it may as well be altogether)?  We aren't even really going to do our own custodial or obligatory work.  Additionally, being an atheist is not a prerequisite for NASA employment.

I want to be fair with your understanding of my opinion: I think we should be able to (go to other planets) but I am not interested in going personally.  I would very much like to work on the technology that could accomplish it, however (I'm on the wrong career path to do it sadly).  At the moment, however, even if we develop travel at the speed of light, it would still take us 127 years to get to the planets outlined in the article and that's still an unmanageable length of time for humans.

I've been to other planets and, big news flash here people..pay attention, there's nothing there.

I personally blame the Fed, NWO, and Jews for our lack of space progress. If people start going to space and colonizing how are they going to tax, regulate, and control them? Stay right here so you're easy pickings.
