Space Exploration

[starnova]

Should we spent money on Space Exploration, or could we use the money to improve the life of everyone on our planet. i want to hear where you stand at this issue.

I think we should redo the space program. Get people excitied like they were back in the 60's. Give people something to be proud of in our country, and something to dream about and look foward to.

[Lord Borg]

Well, it should be improved, but also, some internal problems should be fixed first

[Republican_Man]

We need to see what's out there--to expand our horizons. I think that we should greatly allow the expansion of private enterprises getting involved in the space industry, like they've begun to do, and I even think that this is important enough that perhaps the government should increase spending for it, and make it a better system overall.

I think that we should spend money on improving the life of the ppl on our planet! The whole space thing isn't that much of a big deal.

[madlilnerd]

It wouldn't actually take that much money to help thousands of people across the globe. I am very torn on this subject: I would rather we sorted out the environmental issues than the humanitarian issues but I want to be an astronaught!
I would love to be the first woman on Mars... but I'd feel guilty because the space program led to the extintion of a breed of sparrow... and the amount of pollution it all makes can't be all that good for the world

I actually believe that if we all would focus on Space exploration we will all grow closer together, since we are all into it. we are all on the same planet.

Once we find E.T life we are bound too get together, too many movies have proven it!

I could see the whole world behind the television watching Mans first step on a different planet, or First Contact.

I'm hoping that private space exploration all over the globe will take over nasa's efforts and then our exploration will become a more world wide contribution instead of just an american nasa thing. Not so long ago a privately funded and built space craft lifted into orbit carrying a single man crew so the future is looking bright for pirvately funded exploration.

I believe that we should spend money on space exploration. My reason is that there are hundreds of stars and planets and some of them might have resources on them we could use, like iron ore or something like that. Plus we could colonize some of the planets.

[madlilnerd]

But why take to the sky when there are so many things still undiscovered here on earth? I saw this program where these people went into unexplored territory of the Amazon rainforest and with one scoop of a net discovered 20 different species of fish. The cure for cancer or AIDS could be right on our doorstep without us even knowing it!

[Tuvok8917]

I think that we must first stop making war and helping the poor. Then we can see what`s next...

I think more money should go into space programs. But more like in a world wide sense. Not just america. and the money should mainly go into research to try and create or figure out a way to make space flight cheaper, to create faster engines, artificial gravity etc etc.

This planet will be incapable of sustaining life eventualy. Question is, "When?"


Should we spend money the find out it was usless or bulid ships in the near future to find another suitable place to live?


Both is all good.. I think equal efforts maybe? I don't know how effective that will be though.

You don't care about ppl who don't have much food and clean water to drink(i.e. the ppl in africa)

[lionhead]

Nope, i believe the only people that can help them are themselves. The whole AIDS thing amkes it impossible for them though, it no use in helping i would say. Its a shame, but i don't care if they live or die... Sound ahrsh and cruel i know but its the truth.
