It costs MUCH less to explore underwater than in space, too. I suppose we can see what's out in space, but we can actually GO underwater.

We can do both, the budget for NASA is 1/10th of a penny of the US dollar. The discovery of life on another body in space would be a massive discovery, one of the biggest in human existence.
I doubt we could find anything so dramatic on the ocean floor, but am all for us going there and exploring, but we have to pick areas that look interesting.
