space program is a total waste of money. utterly pointless.

better to give that money to the poor instead.

I think space exploration is cool, and to be encouraged. I don't know who it was that said "prosperous societies explore and exploring societies prosper." but it sounds about right to my uneducated ears.

When you compare what is spent on "Space Programs" and what is spent on Military budgets, I believe we should support our exploration. I don't even think it equals 1% of the World Military budgets.
