This is the sort of amazing phenomena that lies outside of our planet, waiting to be discovered. Here's hoping Earth's governments come to realize how much we're missing by focusing all of our money on warfare and other trivialities that, in the grand scheme of human existence, amount to depressingly little.
Well if you were the 15 year old girl who the tabilban shot in the head for wanting to go to school, I think you might think differently. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jun/16/observer-ethical-awards-2013-malala-yousafzai
http://xkcd.com/1232/ I'm just gonna leave that there. We can't put off everything until everything's perfect here on earth, because that's never going to happen.
Says the guy with free at the point of use health service and education. The 2 billion people in the world that live on less than $1 dollar a day have significantly different idea of what is important from you. They might think that you someone posting internet cartoons about why is ok for them to die of treatable diseases is smug and arrogant.

Amazing what lies less than 70 light years from earth. Makes me think of our home as a shoal outside a calm lagoon but further out to sea there are raging seas, howling winds, sharks, and hazards of all kinds.

Didn't say we should stop trying to solve those problems, just that we're unlikely to solve them anytime soon so using them as an excuse to postpone space exploration and such is not a helpful attitude.
