Do You Agree With Space Exploration ?
Does anyone follow astronomy/space?
No one I know seems that interested in astronauts going to space etc. I find it fascinating but people do have mixed views.
I guess it would be good to ask do you agree with space exploration? Or do you think the money should be sent on real life problems on earth first?

We are, and always will be, affected by events in what we call space, and although we have been very fortunate not to have witnessed some of the catastrophic "problems" that have occured on Earth due to such activity, it is a stone cold certainty that eventually there will be similar. The better able we are, as a species, to interact with a space environment and survive by understand what is possible the safer we will all collectively be. A major spin off resulting from this research and endeaver is the stunning technical advances that we are making. It is like a global insurance policy to safeguard the future of mankind. I am in thrall, and always have been, to the stunning achievements of the whole space industry. Of course we will always have people who think the money would be better spent at Dominoes or KFC. Ignore them they do not know best.
It's definitely worthwhile doing. Some amazing stuff has been discovered by the various probes we've sent out.
What I do find pointless is the Musk and Bezos type vanity projects. Anyone that thinks we're going to establish colonies anywhere is deluded. Compared to this planet everywhere we will ever be able to reach is an absolute hellhole.

Mars or the moon are the only places we have a chance to set up some kind of limited domicile on.
Neither is very appealing. Any billionaire that managed to get there would be pining for the luxuries of planet earth within a month.
