Investigation and exploration is directly related to imagination and emotion. Let me try and rephrase that: Funding is directly related to politics, which to a large degree is emotion. Because of the great political impact involved, we need to have plans in place to directly image these planets. I would guesstimate that paying a top political consultant (maybe Carl Rowe himself) to sell more science funding is approximately One Thousand times cheaper and easier than imaging a plant over 30 light years away. So the strategy I would propose is a lobby group, which would lobby politicians of both parties at all levels of government, to get more science funding. And if we can't get enough people together to agree and fund this group, then we as a people do not deserve more discovery and exploration.
