They already have data to show this though right, or maybe this is absolute confirmation. Have you seen the orbit it takes, wow is that extreme.
I dont mind them going to space if it is for a good purpose but not to waste time on finding answer to pointless questions.
Whenever in the future that we are hit by something massive or the weather endangers a huge population or some disease spreads like wildfire...we'll be sorry that we didn't invest all of the best while we had time.
It's like managers at work being drawn to the shinier new fads while what they are meant to be accountable for withers away. As the big Boss said they are blinded by the light.
All cool things they learned from going to space...not from looking any further out there. Like I said it's cool once it's to serve human existence not our curiousity.
Human existence and curiosity go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other.

What do you suppose will spot the thing that is going to hit us, a bird watching rubber neck at martin mears perhaps?. Did you not read that link i replied to you with and what benefits we have seen from the science needed for space flight/discovery?
These people in the end game are looking for places where we can go to many years from now when our star is spent and starts ballooning into a red giant. Seriously who wants to be killed by something red, urgh hehe. I will put it this way, space exploration development has given back far more than war of which in the USA gets 99% more than NASA's annual budget.
NASA and the ESA are a force for good undiluted by political ideals, the people that staff jpl for example are solid good people, i have met a few and they are proper good people. These are the people with the mentality to help mankind, not to get paid for a theoretical exercise that entertains them.
The search for knowledge is there to and is a good thing, that very pursuit has seen us benefit already. Do you really not have a deep desire to understand how the universe came to be? i can think of nothing more fascinating tbh.

Further to the idea of nemesis, it could well be it is not a brown star but a dwarf planet, the fact we are overdue our 25mil year kick in the bollocks easily gets explained by an elongating orbit. Nemesis could very well be real but just not a star but the extreme orbit pluto sized thing we recently found compelling evidence for, in fact it was more than compelling. The model and real data were transparent to each other aka identical.

They found that the earth is flat after all.

Oh i don't mean to have a dig boss, i just feel you totally got them wrong. If you can watch a series called 'How The Universe Works' that explains the basics and puts across the enthusiasm for adventure these people have, not to mention far more physicists are hot women than i dared imagine :-D

Yeah you would @TonyM hehe
