What are your views on Astronomy (or well Space and space exploration)?
First off let me start off by saying I believe in Rational Reasoning, believe there is a high provability that is or could be something out there worth finding (just saying this is only a perspective, MY perspective) Anyways there isnt any evidence that aliens or sone sort of space entity does not exsist but its yet to be proven that there is.
Lets look at the odds, over a Billion Galaxies, over 100 Trillion planets face the fact that different life forms and species can and does evolve the most unexspecting locations. Remember we've on been to the moon so we cannot account for the universe Besides plenty of living space and resources for us to obtain out there. What are your views ?

Hello people! Wake up already (the pessimistic views of some people are extremely short-sighted)! Space is truly the destiny of humankind. It is our existence in the broadest perspective - and the study of astronomy, along with the other sciences, helps us to gain that greater perspective. Just as a baby must grow up and learn the greater world around it, we have evolved to our current state of power and knowledge and it is destiny that we continue reaching out, learning and mastering new horizons. Our star and planet are just one of endless others and there are endless possibilities for civilizations who achieve increasing knowledge and mastery of the forces of the universe. Also, nothing lasts forever. If we are not destroyed by an asteroid impact first or by our own stupidity from stagnating on the Earth - having recognized no greater common goals - and destroying the Earth, even still then eventually our whole planet will become uninhabitable as our local star, the sun, continues to age turning into a red giant and the oceans become ever saltier even long before that.
It is destiny for us to evolve and reach out across the greater world around us that is the universe. Life must eventually leave the cradle - its home world - just as it once had to reach out across the Earth here. This is how we solve problems, learn and grow as a civilization. This is how we evolve. We are just beginning our baby steps - the explorations of space that we undertake today - which will lead us to a fantastic future and secure our survival as a species across an infinity of worlds. We are citizens of the cosmos, not just a town or country or even a planet.

There's life everywhere.

I think it's a waste of money. Sure, somewhere billion^10 light years away there's got to be some form of life, but it's pointless to search for it if we will never find, meet, or contact it. And right now our country has more important things to worry about than exploring Mars or getting ready to send 1000 people to colonize Mars who will also never get to return to earth, E V E R. If there was life on Mars, we would have discovered it by now. Yes, we can still use telescopes to explore, but quit wasting money on probes to send into space to look for stuff.
