RoGeorge:
If you keep feeding those who can not feed themselves, what do you think it will happen in the long term?
They'll grow in numbers, then they'll come after your food.  I'm not speculating, this is happening already.

The logic is to turn whole world into a mouse utopia, which already worked to slow down overpopulation in some areas.
Funding volunteer to colonize the Moon or even Mars is also a good investment >:D

Keeping in mind that it is purely fiction, a speed of warp 9 is nearly 2,000 light years in a 24 hour period so I think that counts as exceeding the speed of light by "huge factors", that kind of speed would make such exploration practical if it were possible to do.

That is quite an odd statement. ;D

As others have said, while pretty fascinating, the point of doing that is a questionable use of resources.
