It’s time to choose which qualities define us! Well for me it's mostly apathy, with a side helping of ignorance. :) >ignorance and apathy. It’s time to choose which qualities define us!

Well for me it’s mostly apathy, with a side helping of ignorance. :)

So I'll mostly read and learn about science. I didn't know they think the galaxies are constantly moving and I don't know how iron60 is different than other iron. And I don't know how it would benefit us. but hey, I've always felt we should pursue space exploration. I'ts a more worthwhile activity than many other things our government spends money on. And I hope the rest of you don't think I'm a luna tic! I really shouldn’t comment too much up here, I’ll make myself look stupid. So I’ll mostly read and learn about science.

And the science we could do is just one of the excellent reasons we should. (Plus I'd feel a bit more optimistic about our species' chances of survival.)

But who knows, perhaps Neil deGrasse Tyson can pull it off...

That should have been "looking for a supernova remnant *which was* within 100 to 200 light years of where the solar system was [around 3 million years ago]." Which I imagine both complicates the search and expands the amount of real estate you have to sift through. Oops.
