Manifesto of the Committee to Abolish Outer Space – The New Inquiry

Fear and loathing in Houston.

1. Humanity will never colonize Mars, never build moon bases, never rearrange the asteroids, never build a sphere around the sun.
2. There will never be faster-than-light travel. We will not roam across the galaxy. We will not escape our star.
3. Life is probably an entirely unexceptional phenomenon; the universe probably teems with it. We will never make contact. We will never fuck green-skinned alien babes.
4. The human race will live and die on this rock, and after we are gone something else will take our place. Maybe it already has, without our even noticing.
5. All this is good. This is a good thing.

"Tuna Casserole Ingredients: 1 large casserole dish Place the casserole dish in a cold oven. Place a chair facing the oven and sit in it forever. Think about how hungry you are. When night falls, do not turn on the light."
