I just wish our planet could take all the money they spend on military crap and use it to boost other world exploration.
Humanity isn't smart enough to do that. When we first arrived on the existence-scene, we used violence as the platform for our advancement and this is why so much of our everyday going ons revolve around violence and violent behavior(violent sports like MMA, Boxing and Pro Wrestling, the appearance of having skill in combat being an attractive feature, war being the solution to humanity's mass issues, problems being resolved in combat, the admiration for weapons designed to kill, etc etc).
Before all that war money goes in other directions, humanity needs to come together, realize the problem starts at the very core, and needs to figure out how to replace violence as our platform of advancement and what to replace it with. It could be either a really simple job or a monumental task but its pretty much a prerequisite.
If war funds were put towards environmental advancements for Earth itself and our ventures away from our planet, many a fantastic thing could happen. However, war funds have helped us along with advancements as well. So there'd have to be some serious debating on how to effectively change what it means to be human before such a massive change would be underway.
But hey, I'm up for it.
