Whoever keeps using the James Webb telescope to image galaxies and nebulae should fuck off and let the real researchers focus on exoplanets.

We don't need deep field stuff with over 9000 galaxies in one image when we aren't even interstellar yet, let alone intergalactic.

Most nebulae look much the same, and none are of any use.

Space fully deserves its fake and/or gay status until we can get an actual generation ship flying to an actual habitable exoplanet. Identifying them is difficult because the orbit has to pass by its star for back-lighting, which says to me that all of its time should go into locating new candidate exoplanets, with priority access when such a passage occurs.

With a definitive destination, I am 100% sure that an actual voyage is possible (the first step is never submitting to pessimism). I would go, even if my purpose was just to produce and educate the next generation during the flight, because it feels natural to have the forefront of humanity in mind.

We can nuke Earth completely and it would still be more liveable than any "planet" NASA claims they are trying to send colonies to. Mars, according to the experts, is a shithole void of life completely. How would we begin life on another "planet" if we cant even control the Earthly Plane we live on.
