will we ever find anything that humans haven't touched ???

Pretty sure we haven't touched the sun and I find that almost every day.

We just gotta land there at night.

Isn't it nighttime on the other side of the sun? We could just buzz on around there and hang out in the shade.

Wooooosh.

At night it's called the moon.

there is no dark side of the moon matter of fact, it's all dark

There are vast portions of the North American continent that have never been visited by any human modern or ancient.

Dinosaurs?

You’ve never touched a bird? Find someone with chickens and ask if you can touch their dinosaur.

Every dinosaur found was excavated by a human.

Several dogs are credited with finding dinosaur fossils, but I will grant you that they were not allowed to perform the excavation.

they literally didn't let those poor dogs do their favorite part

made them watch

The difficulty was getting the dog to part with the dinosaur bone once it had dug one up.

That’s a fossilized remnant, not a dinosaur.

skeleton of theseus etc

killed by them too

Perhaps not everyone realizes that every year thousands (millions?) of people go out to shoot dinosaurs, often of the duck-billed variety.

and often with guns of the long-ass variety

We're having dinosaur for dinner tonight.
