Space Exploration is a waste of resources.

Instead of decreasing resources by space travel and such, we

must deal with problems on Earth first. Why bother spending all this money on exploring space when we
could be helping our own planet that us humans live on.

there are two major crisis going on at your home planet. global warming and the world wild economic
crisis, both are severe. if the government doesn't handle the economic crisis with care we all will end up
poor. how can we feed the poor,fend for our selves and take care of really expensive space travels?

space travel is a unwanted business for now. how many of you'll know that NASA lost count of there
budget after the first billions of dollar after the first year? is this more important than caring for the
needy? when so many people are dieing as we speak can we just neglect them and say "the money we
just spend went for a good cause, and these few hundreds of people who died are nothing because if we
don't find a another planet to escape the cultures of global warming we all will die" is that fair for them?i
say no and what will you say?

Its a waste.

Space Exploration is a waste of resources. Instead of decreasing resources by space travel and such, we
must deal with problems on Earth first. Why bother spending all this money on exploring space when we
could be helping our own planet that us humans live on. NASA is very damgerous. So many accidents
and problems happened in the space shuttles such as explosions, pieces falling off, and missing the
gravity on Earth. That is even more money to fix those problems. Space Exploration is a waste of money
and a waste of time. Also, we know we exist, but we don't know if anything out there exists. Spend time
and money on our planet also know as our home.

Space Exploration has given us many,many technologies that are essential.

Satellites were some of the first venturers into space and are another critical part of our society.

Weather Forecasting (Satellites. Very important for hurricanes and dangerous storm systems, have saved
lives and help us prepare for the worst.)

Velcor and non-stick pans! (Mostly a joke, but hey, they work!) (General Technology.)

GPS (Very critical if your lost somewhere, has saved lives!) (Satellites.)
Long range television! (Satellites.)

Long Range Communication (Phones,Cellphones,etc.) (Satellites.)

Internet. (Satellites, and power lines of course.)

Space exploration has been used as a tool to understand Earth as a celestial object in its own right.
Orbital missions can provide data for Earth that can be difficult or impossible to obtain from a purely
ground-based point of reference

– To be human is to be an explorer. It is part of who we are: since the first tribes left the African savanna
and spread into Europe and Asia, we have had the need to explore the unknown. Now humans have
visited or settled every corner of the globe. The instinct to explore is still active, but there are very few
outlets. Some people seek out extreme or exotic places to satisfy this need, risking their lives to do so.
Others look to the skies. It may be an old cliche, but Star Trek had it right: Space is the final frontier, and
it calls to the explorer in all of us.

6. New Technology – Space exploration brings together a lot of smart people from many different fields
and puts them to work on some very difficult problems. The result is not only fantastic scientific
discoveries, but also many useful inventions. From healthier baby food to technology to better diagnose
breast cancer, to farther flying golf balls, NASA technology is all around you. Check here for an extensive
list.
