Counterpoint: Neptune is neat but there are much more interesting things to study in the solar system than a gas giant. A lander on Titan would drive more science than a new photo of the cloud tops of Neptune.

Woah there cowboy,
We’re still closer to rival monkey tribes hurling our shit at one another as we shit it out than we are some benevolent, knowledge valuing civilization.
Don’t worry a few more pointless world wars and population decimations, and our species might actually develop admirable priorities beyond tribal resource hoarding from the ashes.
