We'll never know if they continue to be destroyed though.

Not all rainforests are being destroyed. You're thinking of the ones in Brazil, I take it? The ones here in North America are for the most part in protected national parks/forests. My point was that people DO explore and do research in our rainforests; in my state people go camping and hiking in ours year-round. If you want to observe and research one, no one is stopping you. It's a ridiculous comparison to Mars and space is what I'm getting at.
