| Re: Space Exploration
The ROI of space exploration is almost always overstated. Think about it. Is there anything the space program has done for us that wouldn't have been accomplished anyway? It is a lot of wasted money, likewise the war in Iraq, and bailing out people who stupidly build their homes below sea level.
We can't keep borrowing from our children's future so a few scientists can earn a good living exploring space. Put them to work finding ways to become energy independent. That is a worthwhile cause, with returns that might occur in the next few decades. Exploring space just gives us lots of pretty pictures....
