We have known for decades that there are no habitable planets within many, many light years of earth, and that man cannot live in space long enough to get to even the nearest uninhabitable planet. So, why do we still pursue the impossible with so much money? should we bankrupt the nation for useless knowledge?
The 7 Billion we spend on NASA, is nothing compared to what we spend on much less useful things as a country. With NASA, we get tangible and helpful returns.
As for it being "useless" that is the same thing people thought before we were able to go to the moon.
Eventually we will be able to. Of course if we give up now it will never happen.
It is a good thing people like you did not deter the Wright brothers etc. We would have gotten no place.
