Life as we know it WILL end when our Sun goes out, and probably a long time before then.

Terror? I've known religious people who are always afraid of a veangeful God, and Atheists
who take comfort in their belief that there is no hereafter. I doubt that the human race
will still be around in 5 billion years. How do you know that not everybody would get to go?
Either with giant advanced starships, a mentally evolved astrally-projecting humanity,
or recharging the Sun's hydrogen fuel, there is hope.

Trust blindly in something you've never seen, like the short-term attitude of those who overfish the oceans
and cut down the forests, or try to do something constructive about it, like those protesters and
astronauts who bravely risk their lives to stand up for what they feel is right. "God helps those
who help themselves."

Riiiight. Like it was hubris to belive the Earth was spherical, that humans would never fly (41
test pilots died trying to break the sound barrier), that trains would never go more than 25mph,
that we shouldn't go into Space since we need air to breathe, that AIDS is God's will. Give me a break!

Destroying the Space program will not put food in childrens' mouths. You are oversimplfying the
problem. There is more than enough water, food, and energy on Earth for all of us, but because
of human politics and greed it is not being evenly distributed.
