Horsing around in a space station that doesn't even rotate to have the
artificial gravity necessary for proper life.

I mean really, we should have been way past going to Mars by now.

That is what all the poets thought back then, as in 2001 Space Odyssey
and Star Trek.

We should be well on our way to the stars, colonizing and spreading our seed
through the universe.

We should be traveling to other galaxies, to find the real Luke Skywalker
and Darth Vader.

And look at us...40 years after landing a man on the Moon, and we are still
in Earth orbit...

E.T. must be laughing at us.

ETs long ago busted their guts over watching us. The follies of Eden/
Earth was always the best reality/survivor game show in the galaxy.

What easily could have been and should have been is simply a lost
cause, that we'll never get back or recover from such a total waste of
time, resources and talents. Among many examples, Easter Island once
had a similar problem.
