Cover art for So Much Trouble In The World lyrics by Bob Marley and the Wailers

I think Bob is saying that instead of exploring space the babylon should focus on the trobles in the world before they "blast off in there space ship miles from reality no care for you no care for me".they take our tax dollars and invest in million dollar projects to explore outerspace,theres people starving out there.at the ending of the song he says "there is so much in the world" not only is there so many problems in the world but theres more to the world than it problems.be grateful for what we have dont go looking for another planet with life,we can make the world we live in better.
