Strange as it may seem, though, I agree and often feel the need to throw a metaphorical brick at the telly every time the boffins say that. The best example, or worst depending on whether one is a cup half full or cup half empty person, is the hunt for ever smaller atomic particles (or should I be saying quantum these days?). How finding out that matter is composed of small, smaller and yet infinitely smaller bits of every other decreasingly tinier bit of something else in it tells us anything about how it all began, how it is and how it will all end is a ****ing mind boggling mystery to me.

I'm still waiting for the chaps and chapesses who discovered Higgs's boson to convince me that we know more about the cosmos now than we did when Higg's made it up LOL.

Having said that, of particular interest to me is the question regarding the possibility that comets seed planets with the ingredients for life. If Rosetta casts light on that then the implications of that knowledge for humanity could be very interesting indeed. How will potential proof that life gets dumped on planets by comets affect the mind-set of the social, political and religious establishments that dominate everything that happens on this little rock? A space mission could actually be interesting to us on the outside of theoretical science for a change!

Edit: P.S. :heart: space missions because peep's and robots and stuff really do stuff that's practical like going out there and trying to actually find stuff out that's real ...
