'Right the wrongs on planet earth before bothering with the rest of the universe' shout many folks.

| 'NASA no more, Skye no more, innovation no more...' |
Ugie spoke in gruff, urgent tones to his deer skinned other half from the front of their cave, "Let us go forth and look see what is over yonder distant plain where it is said you fall off." "Oh no my precious club carrier, for we are not as yet a united world community and the eradication of poverty, disease and inequality in society are as distant an accomplishment as ever. Besides, the reader of bison bones and wolf dancing has spoken in trance, saying 'Nay, and thrice Nay'! For dangers, scabies and other scary things await the foolish adventurer'. "So we're stayin' put my clubby hubbie."
And so it came to pass, because all emerging human kind believed the sooth sayers, bone readers and others of no imagination, they all stayed and played it safe in the caves of a known land; and bugger all was ever achieved while waiting for perfection.
