Do you think the benefits of NASA space exploration justify the cost?

Have the benefits of space exploration ever been broken down? Just what are the benefits. Literate children with full bellies and proper clothing and shelter seems to out weigh a moon rock. Oui? To me it is a no brainer.

I can understand that they want to find out new things on the moon, mars, etc. I think though what about earth and what is going on here. Why not spend the money on where we live instead of where we don't live.

I think that there are alot of things that could be done with that money. They just think what they are doing is alot more important than that.

I think the humanity needs it. The sciencecan save the humanity only.

Oh it is definitely worth the cost for many reasons. We are using this planet up and willneed options, and it would be nice if those radical religious groups could have their own planets and leave the rest of use alone!

The cost to maintain NASA is really much too high. But those people, who are seated at the higher ends of the hierarchy, believe that there is no price anyone can tag for the advancement of spatial science. These people are thinking space must have so much to offer us considering its vastness. For most of us though, there are more beneficial uses for that much money. Now, we realize how far the thinking is of an ordinary man versus those who are men of science.
