    Not knowing is not as bad as not caring though.

    I’m staying with my elderly mother at an AirBnB right now. Yesterday I told her about a news article I was reading that said Mars was habitable for far longer than we thought, meaning there was a much greater chance of life developing there. She was totally uninterested. Whether or not Earth is the only planet with life on it is one of the most important questions in human history we still can’t answer and she didn’t care.
