re: Why so much emphasis on space when 95% of our oceans remain unexplored?

This article says we have mapped about 98% of the sea floor.

We will have to eventually leave this planet for the human race to survive.

If it gets so bad that we have to leave for survival (thinking cataclysmic solar event), wouldn't it just be futile in itself? We would have to go virtually blindly into space because by the time we learned enough about a new planet (having visited it, conducted tests) there's no way it could even make it by the time the Sun is going to expire anyway.
Maybe I'm just being too nihilistic but I just don't see any effort being worthwhile.

fricking Liberal. Give people money that they didn't earn and bitch about spending money on research to keep humanity alive.

We have history of treating the ocean poorly. Maybe we should leave it alone.

You sound like a glass less than half full type person.

The deepest part of the ocean has already been explored by humans in a submarine.

It's well documented in the links that you provided.

That's why you leave first

The Atlantians have done a fantastic job using chemtrails and weather control to keep up from spending time exploring the sea.

The pressure difference between our habitat and space is about 15 psi. The pressure difference with the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean is over 15,000 psi. Space is much easier to deal with.

Yes we do know space is bigger than oceans.
Troll much?
Entire solar system is small compared to galaxies.
Ocean is drop of water compared to space as ocean.

Interesting metaphor, so you admit that the ocean is unimaginably large. I guess you just showed how unsure science can be, and that's why it's so beautiful. Science allows all of our theories to be explored but never truly solved.
"Which is bigger, the infinite ocean or the finite space? We'll never truly know"
