scientists all over the world research on their own , mainly to get patents for their country , why dont all the scientists come together to really build something for humanity , i mean look at us , we live in such a small planet and in the last hundreds of years we know so little , out of that whatever we know are hypotheses , why dont we use our prowess to go beyond atleast our solar system and discover and explore this strange universe , whenever question of space exploration comes , people say , there is a lack of funding ! lack of funding ??? countries waste trillions of dollars on stupid armies which are of no use if the world was together in peace ! if greed , envy ego were removed from people's minds , we could have had such great technology and power to explore

Under whose terms?

America is the onliest country on this planet that's got the know-how and the bucks to do it, but America's wimpy politicians will wanna give it all away to some ninth world wannabe tribe that can't even get a spear across a narrow river on a clear day.

Empires and countries survive. Peaceful civilization does not. Think about what war created: jet engines, computers, helicopters, need I say more?
