Because sometimes looking to the future steals important moments from today. There is a balance between today and tomorrow that should never be taken lightly.

- JKCalhoun 7y agoInteresting. If we could love the now, today, we might not have need for hopes and dreams of spaceflight.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoSome of us, maybe. Others would not stand the tedium, the stagnation. Think also how would the world look if we could have "loved now" 5000 years ago, and thus never developed past proto-agriculture.
- MaulingMonkey 7y agoThat cuts both ways - I've seen people crushed under debt and chasing fleeting moments without building for the future at all, which soon ends up being their past stealing important moments from today. You're right to call for balance, but more space flight could very easily be a part of that balance.
