Your agency announced this week the discovery of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting in Trappist-1. This discovery could not come at a more crucial time: resource scarcity, unchecked population growth and man-made climate change pose grave threats to our survival as a species. It's increasingly clear that we must start considering the possibility that this world is not, in fact, a world long for Mankind.

That's why we, as fans of the Chicago Bulls, believe it vital that you fund a mission to fire Gar Forman and John Paxson on a one-way quest into space to find a more hospitable home for our otherwise doomed species. It is imperative that we do not let this chance go to waste, lest our children and childrens' children suffer in an increasingly violent and unstable world.

The reasons are many: At 40 lightyears - or 235 trillion miles - from Earth, the mission would take just long enough for the Chicago Bulls organization to recover from the decade of incompetence wrought by Forman and Paxson. Our calculations show that, for the team to function normally again, the pair need be at least 200 trillion miles from their current front office jobs. This satisfies both requirements.

Additionally, we feel that this could be a boon for our fight against climate change, as Gar Forman is undoubtedly a key emitter and source of the hot, noxious, stewing methane gas that is carving our ozone up like Swiss cheese. There's also a chance that GarPax transcend into a wormhole, a la the hit documentary "Interstellar," and would thus have to watch first-hand something they love wittle away until it nothing but a decrepit, unfamiliar shell of its former beauty - a feeling with which any Bulls fan over the age of seven can relate - while screaming "don't let me leave, Murph!" while Erik Murphy stares blankly at them because even he can't understand how he got drafted to play professional basketball.

Imagine some sadistic version of Groundhog Day in which GarPax have to relive every second of every stomach-churningly awful decision they've made in the last decade; in which Jeopardy! plays on an infinite loop and every category is "..you're kidding me, right?" and every answer is "what is, Marquis Teague." Plus, NASA would finally know if a Muppet can survive in space.

Now is not a time for half-measures. The survival of our species is predicated on Man's boldness and bravery. Please be bold. Please be brave. NASA, please #FireGarPaxIntoSpace
