lol,
The millions and millions that they spent/spend on space technology and research has already paid for itself.
Think about the internet, or television or non stick frying pans; and I’m sure that it’s a tiny fraction of the cost of not being able to predict hurricane or weather systems…and while I’m ranting :-) I may as well mention that the total cost of all those fireworks are a tiny fraction of the cost of just one weapons system…
Money and politics aside/
i for one want to know...
it’s like `built into` us humans;
To explore and seek out new world and boldly go where no one has gone before; that is what brought us here, and that’s our destiny…
but then again , some people are sheep...
